Greetings and Salutations to all. Long time lurker, just never owned a computer until last week.

I purchased a "faster blue" leftover 08 in April of 09 and now have just a hair under 30K miles. I started on a Buell Blast and also owned a 2010 Triumph Tiger 1050 ABS. I never liked the Blast, but the Tiger 1050 fit me perfectly, but I sold it when I moved to Florida and do not have indoor parking. It also suffered some reliability issues which also led me to keep the FZ6.

I mostly use the FZ6 as my primary vehicle and put more miles on it than my car. Starting this year I should average about 20K miles a year on the bike.

I've ridden a number of other bikes through demos and friends, so I'll lend my advice as needed. Cheers.

Looking forward to getting to know yall here.

Hey! I'm Tyler from Salt Lake City, UT. I have an '07 FZ6 in red that I bought last June. The FZ6 is my own first bike. I learned to ride on my father's '78 BMW R80. I have poured over the forums again and again and have finally decided to introduce myself.

Hey Guys,

I've had my FZ6 for about a month now (2006 Cobalt Blue). I came from a '99 Sprint, and a SV650s before that. Looking forward to chatting with you guys (and gals).

I've done the following since I purchased the bike (it has ~21k miles)
1) Changed oil and filter
2) Added Bestem top box on Givi top rack
3) Replaced stock air filter with K&N
4) Added power outlet (hoping to go on a trip in August)
5) Cleaned brake pads and put grease on them (stopped the squeal)

I think that should take care of the immediate maintenance needs - If anyone else can offer any suggestions let me know. I know the valve check is coming up...I'm considering doing it myself, I'll reserve that for another post.

Morning folks,

Another new guy here, ripe old age of 41 and first venture into biking. Usual story really, parents denied it when I was younger, wife denied until recently (well, basically told her I was doing it regardless ) Finally talked her round (going to cost me a new(ish) Fiesta though )

Just in the process of doing my direct access, ready for Mod 1 now and just awaiting the test date. Been lurking the forum for a few weeks and decided to sign up as the FZ6 Fazer will be my bike of choice, hopefully by the end of June I will have passed my test and can enjoy the summer.

Looking at a 2006 / 2007 model, not too fussed about the colour so long as it's in good nick.

I'm based in Tamworth / Staffs so after my test would like to meet up with any fellow FZ6 owners in the area looking for a bit of a ride out.

Cheers all.

Steve.

Morning everyone,
My name us Kayla and im just getting back into riding. ive been lurking around the internet and it felt only right to join a forum based on the newest bike i have!
I started with a 250 ninja years ago, played on an sv650, and then fell in love with my 05 fz6.
Basically I use my bike to commute when the weather is good, weekends are for long distance trips, and the summer is for weekend get aways with all my other bike buddies. My goal is to make it to the tracks next year for some good ole' fun.
