    WTB FZ6 Handlebars

    I'm interested in purchasing a cheap set of used FZ6 handlebars. I trailered my bike this weekend (must've been improperly) that led to the right handlebar being bent down. Looking online, I've found OEM handlebars for $140, but I figured I'd check here first. Or if anyone has any low-cost...

    Ive found the handlebars on my 09 fz6 are just too short, and when i got it, the right was bent. more than an hour of riding puts my right shoulder through hell. i will be commuting heavily soon, so i grabbed some bars off of my 1980 xj650 that has electrical problems. they are about 3 inches...

    Help me troubleshoot

    So my FZ has had leaking fork seals for over a year. I don't ride it much so I don't want to put in any money on a bike that isn't even worth $1,000. But today, I was riding and my steering locked up. I could not press or turn the handlebars to the right. Could it be from no fork oil on one...

    New Here... Un-doing the Previous Owners "Mods"

    Hey all, Last August, I picked up a '09 FZ6R with just over 2000 miles on her! The previous owner bought it in the spring, but being 6' 5", wanted something bigger and got a Harley. So he put 13 miles on it in 5 months. Up for sale it went on Craigslist, and within two days and a test drive...

    Wind knocked the bike over; can I repair the damages?

    So with the recent tropical storm Jose, I was notified by my apartment complex's maintenance guy (also a rider), that the wind had knocked my bike over not once, but twice (he picked it up once). When I got home that evening, there was a large puddle of oil next to the bike and oil spread all...

    Took a test ride on a BMW F800R yesterday

    Well it wasn't planned I originally went to the bike shop to get a ride on the MT-09, but they had just sold their previous test bike and the new one had to be prepped. Anyway they had a BMW F800R on special offer and they let me take a spin. Well I was not impressed, mainly as the engine was a...

    Going from clip-on mod back to handlebars - rookie questions

    Hey guys. I bought my FZ6 with a clip-on mod, but I want to go back to handlebars (well, I have to, it needs to undergo inspection from the authorities and it can't do a turn at full lock, becaue the clip-ons hit the tank..). I don't have a good photo, but this shows what I have now...

    How To: FZ1 Bar on FZ6

    I have been doing some reading up on the benefits of the FZ1 bar. This morning was rather wet outside, so I deemed it a perfect time to attempt this install. It was relatively straight forward and could be done with a few simple tools. As this is my first how-to write up, I do apologize in...

    70mph gust and crosswinds

    OMG! I rode thru an area today that is prone to experiencing very high winds and gust, semi's aka Lorry's are commonly toppled over. Flashing yellow lights, warning all trucks to stop and they were all pulled over. Hmmm, nothing about motorcycles so I proceeded down to Carson City, about a 30...

    Has anyone tried MX handlebars on an FZ6?

    I had MX, or dirt bike, handlebars on my nighthawk, and it was fantastic. not only for ease of control, but also for comfort and appearance, the MX bars were great. I haven't seen any pictures of MX bars on and FZ6 though. Has anyone tried this? Are there clearance issues with the fairing...

    First time for everything....

    I dropped my bike tonight. I was making a left turn out of a parking lot, hit some sand, back tire slid out, tried to correct, ended up low sliding at about 15mph. I'm a bit scraped up but otherwise ok. The bike took the brunt of it. Going to need a new fairing, left side head light glass, gas...
