    2007 Blue FZ6 w/FZ1-N Mod

    Isle of Man 2011

    Anyone know when they are replaying this in the US? The last few years it was on HD Theater but I can't find any info on it. Thanks!

    This is one lucky SOB

    Check out this video. This guy plays center for the Iowa State football team. After this the coach says he will miss the opening game because of "some scratches." Hope he gears up better next time. YouTube - Raw Video: Iowa Football Player Hit by Truck

    Any naked folks with clip-ons?

    With fairing clearance no longer an issue, has anyone gone with clip-ons instead of FZ1 Rizoma, or LSL bars? I vaguely remember seeing this done, including a custom triple that eliminates the stock risers. Recommendations, reviews, links, etc.? Thanks!

    Racetrack with a jump?

    I'm trying to remember the name of the racetrack (I believe its in the UK) that has that odd hill/bump/jump on it that makes for great photos. Can anyone help me? Thanks! :thumbup:

    What a way to go!

    I haven't posted for a while, but as soon as I saw this I HAD to share it. This is from a local new radio site here in WI. WOW! Here's the caption: This 22-year-old was shot to death in Texas a few months ago. I'm not sure of the exact details, however in his will this is how he wanted to...

    Throttle lag

    My '07 lags when I twist the throttle quickly. It kind of stalls a bit before it kicks in, hard to explain. I can't say for sure since I haven't ridden it for a while, but I'm pretty sure it goes away once its warmed up. Stock engine, stock air filter, no PCIII, with a Two Bros exhaust...

    121 Days...

    115 Days... ...and the wait is finally over! I just went home for lunch, picked up my bike, and rode it back to work. Its the first time I've been on two wheels since my track day mishap on 5/5. I only put about 14 miles on it today, but DAMN it feels good to be back! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

    Bar-mounted mirror problem...

    I bought a set of bar mounted mirrors. There's two brackets for the handlebar, then the mirrors just screw in. My problem is, there's no room on the handle bar! The left side isn't terrible, but on the right side the brake fluid reservoir takes up the entire flat section of the bar between the...

    Woodcraft rearsets?

    Who's got 'em and how do you like 'em? How's the quality, adjustability, vibration, fit/finish, etc.? I've seen reviews for Rizomas and Gilles but there's no way in hell I'm going to (or am even able to) pay $600 just for rearsets. Just want to know if the Woodcrafts are reasonable...

    Blue 2007 - All front fairing pieces needed

    That's right, I need the cowling, inner fairings, a mounting bracket possibly (for the right price), and possibly a new headlight assembly. PM me and let me know what you have. Scratches ok, cracks not ok. Thanks! Oh ya, new grab rails would be nice too. Thanks!

    Naked Time?

    Ok, I'll keep it short. I crashed my 2007 at a track day Tuesday, front plastics (and my right thumb) are garbage. Trying to compare cost of OEM repair -vs- going naked. I'm looking for something specific. I want a headlight setup with a mini-faring (so not totally naked). Since I have no...

    Stock BT020 at the track?

    I have just over 5000 miles on my OEM Bridgestones and I'm going to my first track day on 5/5. Still looks like I have plenty of tread left, but I know its not that great of a tire to begin with. Anyone have first hand track experience with these? Thanks! :thumbup:

    FZ6 sighting - Delafield, Wisconsin

    This is a longshot, but I saw a guy riding what I think was a blue '06 in the Delafield area this afternoon. Just seeing if that was anyone from here. Its the first FZ6 other than mine I've seen around here. :thumbup:

    FZ6 Track Plastics?

    I know Racer's Edge has the FZ6 Cup setup, but I was wondering if there was actually a full side fairing available for the FZ6. OR, do the new FZ6R's plastics fit an FZ6? Its such a new model I haven't been able to find anything out. And as far as frame sliders go, I'd rather not have one...

    2008 Windscreen on a 2007?

    I used a kitchen sponge to clean bugs off my windscreen this summer, and although I didn't use the scouring side, it still wrecked my screen with swirl marks. I can't see through it anymore. When I check RonAyers, there's no listing for the 07 part, but there is one for the 08. Wondering if...

    Burning oil/rubber smell?

    After turning the bike off I notice a burning smell. Its kind of oily, but there's no leak. Its also a little rubbery, but nothing is rubbing or melting that I can see. There's also no smoke. Bike runs fine, sounds fine, feels fine. Just wondering if there's anyone with similar experience...

    I'm...back???

    I was a member here before, this was my first forum ever, but apparently wasn't active enough and my account was purged. ( :ban: ) But I'm back now and will be around a lot more. Look forward to some great discussions with my fellow FZ6ers! :sinister:
