Hey guys, I sold my bike an dbought a CBR 1000rr 2008,so I have some great condition FZ6 stuff for sale. Custom Painted 'BLUE' AXIO hard tank bag- $80+shipping. (see the pic-or my profile photos) - Bag retails for around $180, plus I paid $100 for the custom paint match. Matches perfect...

I'm ashamed to say that I never quite had the love affair that I know (and respect) many of you do with our beloved FZ6. Maybe it was the gazed look of confusion and the corresponding ....." errr.....you meana R6?" .comments, maybe it's the banana seat or the feeling I had the 1st day she got...

I'm committed to doing this mod myself, but committed to not breaking my bike also:D. I assume I need to move the (tree????) clamp down the fork to accomadate the clip-ons...How do I do that? Thanks!:rockon:

SO I've read all the threads here discussing CBR 1000 xx clip ons, and purchased a pair of 2006 CBR 1000rr's off Ebay. Arrived yesterday and found they won't appear to fit. As I understand it, our bikes (07 FZ6) have 43 mm fork tubes, and it appears the CBR's clip ons are designed for 51 or 52...

Long story short, love the bike....hate the stance. I have a bad back and hip (and only 34!) and the position of a sportbike fits me best, so I have learned through riding friends bikes. SO....do I invest in new rearsets/clipons...or.....just sell my bike and get a sportbike (Triumph Daytona 675...

Hi, I installed drag bars on my bike today. I'm 6'1 and was getting a wicked pain in my right shoulder. I've had 2 back surgeries and have a current hip injury, and the upright riding position (multi-functional reason I bought the bike) has turns out to be a demon! So......I decided to give some...

I have an 07 with 1400 miles on it. I just put about 250 miles on her this weekend, cruising around multiple places in San Diego. It was a beautiful weekend. I filled up the tank on my way home Sunday. Today I commuted to work w/o any issue, only about 4 miles. It was cool in the morning, high...

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I just wanted some straight forward tips from the vets around this forum who brave the elements....... It's rained here in San Diego the 3 days or so(waaaa....I know;)), which by nature is kind of weird. I've had my FZ about 3 months now and don't dare...

anyone down for a ride around town and out of it?

I've had my bike two months now and called the dealership today to seeif I could add GAP insurance for the loan difference. She "pulled some strings" (because it's suppposed to be sold at the point of sale date, so they know the exact condition of the bike) and said I could swing by today to...

I bought my 07 because I'm basically a new rider. I love sportbikes, but felt it wasn't smart to start with an r6. I kinda like fairings, but I like my 07 too. I also dumped a bunch already into it, but I like the look of the 09R Is the 09 FZ6R the best of everything? Should I make a trade...

Gotta say I just love riding my bike...sorry if that's not thread worthy, but here it is. I just set a (personal) land speed record of 83mph, on my way to Ramona (San Diego Cty.) today, and damn proud of it!. Here are some pics of my beast, she rode well today....(sorry I don't have any action...

I have long arms and while I love the more upright stance, I notice I get a stiff burner in my neck after about 45 minutes from my elbows being bent, I also thirst for a little more agressive stance and feel on the bike. Can I loosen the bolts and just role the bars forward (so to speak), then...

Hi all, (I'm bring my FZ6 in for it's 1st service next week at approx. 550 miles. I'm returing to the dealership I bought the bike at (Motoworld of El Cajon, San Diego CA) and I'm planning on waiting with the bike and watchig the quoted "up to 2-3 hour service". " WHAT should I look for &...

I got the crazy idea to paint the windshield solid blue, same as the bike (07 FZ6).....opinions? Should I do it? I'm dropping my bike off today to get the rear tire hugger and chain guard painted the same color Blue as my 07. I've also decided to get the side(stainless) radiator mounts...

Pretty basic question here......Brand new bike, 3 weeks sold, I've put about 200 miles on her & finally have gotten 5 minutes to start poking around. What is the appropriate Oil level (told ya it was basic, but read below), as I can't seem to find specified in the manual. It seems really low to...
