Howdy from Arizona!
New squid here.
My name is Matt. I live in Anthem, AZ and work in Scottsdale, AZ. For those that don't know the area, that is a LONG A$$ haul to get to work and back. 80 miles a day (almost 129 km). Anyways, the monthly petrol bill was killing my wallet so I just became the proud owner of a 2005 FZ6 in order to curb the monetary bleed out of my wallet.
It's not a bad bike. It needs some love cosmetically though and I also plan to upgrade all the lighting and add frame sliders as well as a tank guard which for some reason the previous two owners didn't do. This would have saved me from having to deal with some of the cosmetic issues if they had.
But anyways, I'm here and will be enlisting the help of this forum to get me up to speed on the mechanical and electrical of this bike.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys provide. I promise to read and search before asking. If I ask, please know that I searched first and didn't find what I was looking for. If what I was looking for was indeed already there, then please just point me to where the info is rather than flame me. I am a cycle squid...not a forum squid. ;-)
Thanks again and hope to meet a few new friends here!
Here is a link to a photo album containing pictures of my bike as it was when i bought it. The ones where the lights are on are after my first additions ( a couple of bulbs).
