    Knee Pain After Riding

    Does anyone else get pain in their knees after they've been riding for a while? I try to shift my legs around a little and it helps some but the pain eventually comes through. After a while, everything below my knees almost feels numb. I've been experiencing this for about the past year in...

    Pegs and Legs

    I have sort of short legs and if I'm walking my motorcycle around (obviously usually backing it up a little) my calves tend to run into the pegs at some point. I put my feet down in front of the pegs and push from there to move the bike. Do most people just put their feet far enough away...

    Where to Find Inexpensive Footpegs?

    Does anyone know if there are any footpegs available for the FZ6 that cost around or less than $30? I've looked a lot on ebay and a lot of sites that sell motorcycle parts and it seems like there are very few options even available, much less that are affordable. I'm not too worried about...

    New FZ6 Rider from Virginia

    Hey everybody, I got my FZ6 about two months ago and I've been lurking on this forum since then learning about mods and the like. My first bike was a GZ250 by Suzuki that served me very well to learn on but I have about an hour commute three days a week which is all highway/interstate...
