Feel it's worth noting for future users that when I called to have my ignition replaced they were cool enough to tell me that there's no immobilizer on the 2008 FZ6. When I looked it up, the immobilizer is only standard on the European unit. It seems like no US model should have it(?). I had a...

Having been warned as many times as I have, carelessness is the only answer. Oh well, thanks for the confirmation folks!

Hey guys, long time no see but I've been up to no good at the track beating an old R6 into the ground. :D I know this has been discussed but wasn't having any luck with the search. I lost my key and the backup (which I know I should never even have used) shortly after. No idea how, in fact...

Been spending a bit of time banging the FZ6 around the track lately and I'm finding myself scraping the pegs a lot. Haven't had luck searching here for higher/more aggressive rearsets, does anybody still sell any? Thanks all!

Hi all, trying to figure out how to remove my mirrors on the 08 FZ6. I pulled the rubber sheath down but it doesn't seem there's a way to remove them that way. Do I need to unbolt the fairing to get at it? Thanks.

Email me at [email protected] if you'd be so kind. Thanks! Found, thanks for the offers!

Oh man you painted it matte? No wonder she didn't see you. You reflect no light. YOUR FAULT! ;)

Here are mine. The FZ key detaches, obviously I don't want all of that hanging from my ignition.

So I bought a set if the eBay levers along with everyone and their mother last month. Got 'em today and they installed without much trouble but theres a ton of play in the levers, and I found that the screws holding the moving pieces together are super loose on both levers. I have the hex...

Gorgeous. I just got those same levers in and will take a crack at installing them tonight. Where'd you get the rear cowl? Was it ridiculously expensive like they tend to be?

I haven't begun my conversion yet. But if I go with the VS2 kit, would I need your mount? If so, I am interested.

What a bunch of children we all are. I really wouldn't be able to control myself, I think. I would just get all of the top of the line liter bikes. I would build my own race track before buying any of these. With any luck it could be a self-sustaining hobby, and I could invest the rest of the...

In the next couple of years I'd like to move up to a zx14. It's strong enough to handle my huge ass and a pillion and should still be a lot of fun in the twisties. It's obviously crazy powerful but it seems tame now compared to the superbikes that are pushing 200bhp these days. It's also ugly in...

Thanks all. I'm definitely having them give the whole bike a once-over to make sure nothing else on the front end was affected. While I recall seeing that the bars can be bent with the tie-downs, I still have trouble understanding how one or two guys lifting it could have bent the bars. *shrug*

I park my bike inside a parking garage beneath my apartment complex. I had to cage it for a few days last week when my girlfriend noticed my bike had been moved and some bicycle racks had been installed along where my bike had been positioned. The bars were locked but I guess was that was no...

Damn. I want to ride your bike. Some day!

Like a lot of the folks here, I also went from a GS500 to an FZ6. I am a bigger guy, maybe that helps smooth out the power a bit. As for some of the choppiness, you'll get that light touch with the clutch soon enough, I'm sure. One thing I also noticed was how different the handling is, the FZ6...

Don't think he's blaming anyone here. Sorry to see that tcmalker. It's definitely one of those iffy situations, I probably would have done the same thing you did. How did the other driver react?

Good stuff, I think I'll spend some time on this this weekend (bike needs some serious cleaning). Do you guys get lube from MC shops or can it be had at an auto parts store as well? I never see any MC specific stuff there.

Good call! That did it. I cranked it down to one (it was at 3 as promised). Definitely feels different. It's been feeling a little off lately so I'm hoping this helps. Thanks!
