I'm glad someone is being honest about Top Saddlery after pretty much everyone raving about it. I share some of the Jody's opinions - I've had mine for about a month or so; it's definitely better than the Stock, and also looks great! But it's not as flat in some places as I expected. I...

Does anyone else skip gears while riding around town? For in town rides, I've heard the FZ6 has enough power in the first 3 gears to keep you there; but I like to get to a higher gear for: a) less buzzier ride, b) possibly better mileage. But of late, I've found myself skipping gears, 1-->...

Good luck with the recovery, mate. I almost had a similar scare once; a bit excited, went a bit too fast on the 1st, and engine braking from letting go of the accelerator almost got me sliding on asphalt! I saved it by holding the clutch, and using the brakes for slowing, and moving to a higher...

I got this same jacket - and I'm quite happy with it. It comes with the liner which is not bad in 40 degree weather. Beyond 80, i remove the liner; there are pads on the elbow, shoulders, and back; they dont' feel the most protective, but for some pretty decent city riding, it's good enough for...

Twice. Consecutive days. At 0 mph. Same darn mistake! (hopefully learnt a good lesson.) Kicked the stand, but failed to notice that that side stand had flipped back up to its original position, and nicely let the bike drop to the ground, while watching in horror. Minor scruffs on the engine...

I'm a newbie FZ6 rider, and thought about the Gear indicator mod a bit when I first got the bike. 3 weeks later, i can pretty much tell by the rev, the speed and the sound as to which gear I'm in. It might be a cool thing to have, but I agree with the previous two responses - it's better to...

Actually, I ordered that fully Black one ;)- thought that the Black on black looked cool. I just got it on an impulse after reading through all the threads, and getting a lower back ache from the riding position (i'm 6 ft tall with shorter legs, and longer torso). In any case, I didn't think...

Can you post your experiences AFTER you have gotten them and installed it? I'm having the same issue - back ache after even a 30 min drive; i suspect its the seat, plus the handlebar positions. I'm looking into these 30 mm risers as well as one of my first mods!

I'm a new member here too, and thought I'd tag with this post. In fact, this is my first posting, and had just gotten my '05 FZ6 a week ago! :welcome: Less: I live in Holliston; stone's throw away from ya. I guess there are quite a few FZ6'ers in the new england area. Can't wait for the...
