As I've now sold my FZ6, I have the stock exhaust which the new owner didn't want. Before I take it to a scrap place, does anyone here want them? I believe these will fit 2007-09. The original headers stayed with the bike and are not offered here :) Edit - PM me an offer - as long as you...

Howdy everyone! It's been a hot minute and a long while has passed since the great days past where I spent a lot of time on this forum. Of all my internet meetups/forums etc. over the years, this is the one place where I have met the most people and had the most fun. Cliff (@Motogiro I...

It's been years and years, but I just wanted to say hello and that I am still alive (close calls since I talked to anyone here notwithstanding) and still riding (a little) and loving (a lot) my red 2007 FZ6. Hey everybody!

This summer I plan on doing a little multi-day ride with some buddies. I want to put a little work into my bike beforehand. While I've always been fairly hands-on in terms of basic maintenance with my cars and bike(s), and recently bicycles, my practical knowledge, ability and willingness to...

No pictures, thank God, please don't ask. After riding up to a friend's place in the Mt. Washington part of Los Angeles from the LAX area on Friday for dinner - a long, nice, relaxing dinner (NOT drinking/etc., just regular relaxing) I totally dumped the bike leaving the curb in front of their...

Looking for a decent set of used aftermarket rearsets. I'd prefer them in that order: Rizomas, Gilles, and then Ottimotos. I like the look of the Ottimotos over the Gilles, but I've gathered that they aren't exactly plug-n-play like the Rizomas and Gilles are. Thanks :thumbup:

Hello everyone, I am looking to purchase some proper rearsets for my 2007 FZ6. I have been using the Ozo setback plates and the stock footpegs/controls, and they have worked very well for me. However, I live in coastal SoCal, and although it's always been either garaged or covered, certain...

I am finally feeling a little bit better after my crash, broken collarbone (clavicle) and surgery. I was at a track day event on Friday, June 17th at the big/main track at Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, CA. I hadn't been out to a track day since November of 2009, having...

Hello everyone, Since I know that many users here (including myself) are longtime Rotella users, I wanted to pose a question to the group. I changed the oil in my track bike over the weekend. I used half of a bottle of Rotella 5-40 (the big blue bottle) that I had from a previous change...

Off-duty San Diego police officer shoots suspect trying to steal his motorcycle - latimes.com The guy he DIDN'T shoot ended up getting away with the bike! Crazy stuff!

This was in one of those chain emails that your coworkers forward around. It was the only motorcycle one. :)

Hello everyone, Since I searched far and wide in this forum and never came up with anything regarding this matter, so I thought I would share my experience in the hopes of helping others in the future. I have an "almost" stock 2007 FZ6 (U.S. model). I put in a K&N air filter, and recently...

Hello everyone, Now that my track bike has been spruced up (rear shock overhauled) I am getting ready to get back into my track days w/ my 636. Previously, I had been renting a cargo van and using a homebuilt 2-bike wheel chock board in the back of the cargo van. While it is convenient...

This afternoon I decided to do it - I pulled all of the street runnings (except the side stand) off of my R1 (attached). I'm having a hell of a time getting comfortable on it ... I feel all cramped up, and I'm worried that I might crush it. :rolleyes:

I recently went through a phase where I was focused on purchasing another, track-only bike. After riding the Kawasaki ZX-6R during my California Superbike School (L1) class, I was sold on the need to ride something a bit sportier at the track. And I do love riding the track! After much...

Thought I'd post up here for my FZ6-Forum friends. Well, I have now had my first get-off up in the Santa Monica mountains yesterday. It was the last hairpin turn on Piuma (the one that's so tight it has that convex mirror near that fire road that lets out there) before you get to Las...

Hello everyone, I was hesitant to re-post this on this forum, but I know that there are members here who aren't necessarily on SBN a lot, and I do want to encourage people to try track days and riding schools. So, if you've read this over on SBN, move along, nothing to see here. :rolleyes...

Sorry for the double post, SBN readers. Hey guys, If any of you local SoCal people are interested, some friends of mine and I are going out to the Streets of Willow (at Willow Springs - out near Lancaster) on Halloween, Friday Oct. 31. We are going with the TrackDaz guys: TrackDaZ...

So I decided to take a short ride up to Malibu and back on Saturday morning. I got up late and it was squidtastic up there by 11:00 or so when I finally got up there. There were so many people tapping their helmets that it looked like a lame game of charades. (The top-of-the-helmet tap from...
