Hello everyone! I've been away for a while, but I'm back now for a short while. I just recently traded in my beloved '07 FZ6 for an '08 CBR1000rr. I only have one part left, and that is my Puig windscreen. I had the screen on the bike for less than 100 miles before the bike was traded. The...

i just enjoyed my first night at the dragstrip. i can't believe how much fun it was to just go fast in a straight line. i'll definitely be doing it again. i was able to make 3 passes. there weren't many bikes there: only a harley, 2 zx-14's, some sort of stretched busa that ran once, and a...

i was wondering: is it possible to turn the fz6 into more of a sport bike? i don't know too much about all of the mechanics (still learning everyday), but i'd like some input onto whether this would work or not. feel free to add on or change anything. i was thinking that the bike could be...

FZ (not sure if it was a 1 or 6) spotted in altamonte springs, florida today. it was at the intersection of central ave. and montgomery....near the altamonte springs mall. i thought i was the only FZ in the area...i've never seen any others, until today! it had a pretty big tail bag, looked...

after installing my 2bros yesterday, my engine has been running really hot. someone suggested that the fuel mixture may be running too lean, but after searching the forum, it sounds like that shouldn't be a problem. what could be causing this?

my new pipes came in on friday, and i finally got a chance to install them today. i must say, they were quite a pain to install, but i'm sure that has a lot to do with the fact that i'm not very mechanically inclined. i'm learning though. the pipes sat really high, so the FE that came with it...

lately my bike has been acting up, and i think it may be the battery. whenever i press the ignition button, the bike sputters for a little while before actually turning on, and right before it turns on, the gauge cluster shuts off and on. it never used to do this before. i ride it everyday, so...

i just purchased mine today :) i'll be installing it in the morning. pics will come, hopefully some video as well to demonstrate the difference between the stock horn and the new one for those who aren't familiar with it.

i was practicing my launches for when i go down to the dragstrip, and i ended up doing 2 things i really didn't want to do. i ended up doing a bit of a burnout and a pretty big wheelie. needless to say, i scared the crap out of myself. i was fluttering the throttle around 7-8k, and trying to let...

i know i haven't had the fz for very long, but i'm always looking ahead. i have been looking around for what i want my next bike to be. i fully intend on keeping my fz for daily commutes and such, but i want to get a bike that can be used a track bike or for days that i just want to go fast ;)...

i ordered my puig racing windscreen several weeks ago, and found out it was on backorder until Aug. 7th, and after checking the status of my item, i have found out that it has now been pushed back to Sept. 14th. the 2bros exhaust that i ordered last week is also on backorder until Sept. 4th...

i was talking with a guy i know in the parts department of my local dealer (which i've given a TON of business to), and he said that the 15T sprocket didn't really need the speedohealer, but that contradicts everything i've read about it. i guess, i'm still really on the fence about it, even...

i got up early this morning to go out for a ride with my dad before it got too awful hot around here. it was a nice 2 hour trip down some back roads and a couple of larger ones. he is still learning to ride, and i've been helping as much as i can (even though i'm quite the newby myself, i just...

2 Wheel Drive R-1 MCN Embed Player 2 i thought it was pretty cool.

i'm thinking about taking the bike out to a drag strip to see how it runs before changing my exhaust and tires. i'll take it back after the change, and compare the results to see what performance changes occurred (if any). does anyone have any tips on how to get the most out of a trip to the...

anyone near the orlando area want to go for a ride some time? i'm still fairly new to riding, and i'm trying to find some fun places to ride to, and cool people to ride with.

i did a quick search, and didn't find much on this (unless i just missed the right threads). question 1: how do you get the stock grips off so that new grips can be installed? question 2: is locktite necessary to keep frame sliders on? i've read about a lot of people using it, but didn't know...

i decided to replace the stock blue moles, with black ones. i really like the look of it :)

i just ordered some new parts for the bike today, and now greatly look forward to their arrival. i ordered new plastic parts for the front; the "eyebrow" as i call it. to better explain, it is the piece that goes right over the headlight, and around the side a little ways. if anyone knows the...

my 07 FZ6 has less than 3,000 miles on it, and i just noticed the front brake squeaking :eek: any thoughts on this? i wouldn't think that the brakes would be having any issues with such low mileage. i really don't want to get on one day only to find that the front brake isn't working.
