week

Hey all, Had a pretty bad week last week and had my beloved 2007 FZ6 stolen but recovered last week. Some homeless folks cut the main ingition switch harness and tried to joy ride but couldnt get it going and gave up... not before they replaced my battery with an incorrect hunk of junk and...

Ok Ill make this short and sweet. Pros and cons does I go with the original type or aftermarket mechanical tensioner. mine is getting louder by the week.

Hi all, Being a while to post in the forum. So here is the deal. I have installed hyperpro suspension a while ago. as i learn the bike and did also lvl 1 and lvl 2 from california superbike school, i am pushing the bike harder. i will be doing lvl 3 next week. I did a track day a week ago and...

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...

Bought a 2005 FZ6 about three weeks ago. Took it to my local/independent mechanic, who discovered that whoever put the rear wheel on last, tightened down the axle out of alignment, then cross-threaded the axle nut on, and then forced it (likely with an impact wrench). He had to cut the nut...

Well Facebook gave me a reminder this morning that I'm going to the Assen TT tomorrow, as if I'd forget :rolleyes: Looking forward to it, I went with the kids last year (kids under 15 are free on the grass banks) but unfortunately they both have some pretty heavy end of school year exams this...

At the moment I'm looking for a new textile jacket which i can use all year around. My present jacket is a Revit Dragon, I've had this jacket for about 5 years, it was a good jacket but recently I've had the inner (Hydratex) jacket leak near the elbows, also the velcro sleeve fasteners have been...

Have an 09 FZ6 with 7400 miles. After having a prospective buyer ride last week, pushed it into my driveway where it sat for 1 week. Another buyer was looking at it, was about to ride when we realized the front brakes were locked. Never had that happen before. Any ideas what caused this & a fix...

So to start with every time I ride I hover between 160 and 185 and I know my fan works when I get over 212. Now the problem is, normally I pull into work and the bike warms up to 190 heading across the parking lot, but once a week or so i turn it off and it jumps to 226 and the fan runs. It...

Why cant I respond to private messages? I have two messages in my "in box" but I can't respond to them. I could respond to messages earlier this week.

Hey all, I'm new to the forum and just getting back to riding after taking 18 months off. I had to sell my previous bike, a 2008 Harley Nightster, to pay for some of the wifey's medical bills. I got a rather large bonus this year so I decided to get a new bike. I wasn't looking for a FZ6...

Anyone have a bad fuel pump that still has its connectors in good shape? I snapped the fuel outlet after owning my FZ6 less than a week. Since it doesn't seem like I can buy just the outlet, TownsendsFJR1300 recommended looking for a broken pump to rebuild mine...

Had some time the other weekend. We really wanted to ride down Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway to Fontana, but with the weather, lack of lodging availability, and our time constraints we just loaded the bike up in the trailer and headed out. Two days just isn't enough time. I've been to the...

Anyone spot my FZ6 in there this week? It's a cheeky little spot due to photo editing.

My first year in college at Purdue North Central, and I found the motorcycle parking just recently. I saw an fz1 (in the background of photo attached) last week, but today look who I parked next to. Anyone on here??
