Hope someone here can help me with this issue. I will try to make this as short as possible. All the tail lights come on when I turn on my motorcycle, signal lights work fine as well. However, when I pull the hand brake or use the foot brake, the tail light does not brighten, it stays low, as...

Hello to my FZ-6 Family, Man, it's been awhile since I've been on this Forum. I've been slipping, well, finally the weather is about the change and riding will once again be at the forefront. Each year I tell myself I'm going to ride more and I always miss that mark. How many of you feel...

Greetings FZ6 Family, Just wanted to kick the riding season off (I know some ride year round) with somethings you may already know. 1. It may have been awhile since riding, get some practice time in, it will build your confidence 2. BOLO: Be on the Look Out: Remember, cars are not...

It's that time. How do you prepare?

As much as I love the FZ-6, I am craving an FZ-1. Unfortunately, we are looking at buying a house and therefore all purchases are on hold. Paying bills suck. I want a new motorcycle but even after getting the house, my motorcycle wish may not come true. We live in Northern Virginia and...

Ok Family, Spring is here and it's time to RIDE. For all you new riders new to the FZ6, RESPECT THE THROTTLE!! This holds true for any motorcycle you get but believe me, this may be a 600cc bike but it has plenty of power to get even seasoned riders in a bit of trouble. Everyone, lets...

My fellow FZ-6 Riders Good news is it happened during the Winter months so I don't think I will miss too much riding this Spring. The bad news is, it happened. I did not get operated on because its a partial tear but I have been in a cast almost a month now. I go back in on the 3rd of...

All, trust the gut feeling you have. I had noticed on my last ride that things were not sounding right with my chain. I opted to cut my ride extremely short and take the opportunity to look things over. Well, I noticed the chain had a kink or two in it. I had heard a little noise on the...

Fellow Riders, I never thought I'd say it but I haven't been riding because of the heat. It's been so painful. 103+ heat index. I went for a ride in this heat and when I got home I was near heat exhaustion. Everyone, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Even with cool mesh gear my body core temp...

Well, time is drawing near for a lot of us that have been stuck in the cold, fridget weather. Unable to ride, looking forward to the warm weather, and more than ready to get out there and enjoy those wonderful warm sun filled days. I too feel the same way, chomping at the bit to ride again...

Well, My time in the US military is coming to an end. 24 years, 9 months, and 7 days. Oh my, where has the time gone. It's been a lot of fun most of the time. Yes, I'll miss it, but I'm already to continue the fight in a different uniform.

When most spend this bad weather time modding their bikes (that's so great), sadly, since I'm sooooooo broke, I take the time to read articles about becoming a better and safer rider. I've come to realize that this keeps me grounded (especially the safety info) and each year I read something...

Well, all week long me and my coworkers have planned a nice road trip for this Monday. Everyone got kitchen passes and we are all set to go. After riding home Friday (with a whole day at work talking about how much we are all looking forward to what may be the last ride of the season) and...

Well, today I found out just how far I can go when the fuel gauge starts to blink and the f trip meter comes on. With pretty fast starts and running between 65 and 75 mph I ended up running out of gas when the f trip hit 49.6miles. I was fairly close to the gas station but I did have to do...

Hello All, It's been disheartening seeing so many fellow riders going down. I too, low sided (not serious, minor road rash on me and my bike) about two months ago. Since, it's been one post after another about someone mixed up in an accident. I know sometimes events occur out of the...

Hello all, I'm in need of the inner panel, left side (the one you remove when you lift the tank without removing the rear screw by the seat). If you have one that you want to pass along to an FZ6 buddy, let me know the price when you respond. Thanks.

Hello All, I was sitting here wondering what all of you do for security. I know bike theft is more robust in some places so some of us don't worry about it. However, what do you do for security of your precious ride?

Just a quick reality check: How many "pulse pounding" moments have you had in the last 7 days that where your fault? This is not to brag. Just to highlight your errors and take action to correct them. I edit this because a forum member misunderstood the purpose of this thread/poll. So...

"Ride your own ride" "Ride it like you stole it" "ATGATT" Whatever you do or whichever one of these you consider the right thing for you, just remember one thing: YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT RIDING DICTATES ACTIONS ON THE ROAD All of us have had those moments/days where we are quite wild on...

Is it possible to place the bar that has the User CP, Garage, New Posts, etc at the bottom of the page as well? Either that or just have a New Posts link to eliminate having to go back to the top of the thread to select the New Posts link. If there is another way to get to the New Posts List...
