New to the forum, but I had my FZ6 since July of last year. It's my first bike and, for a tall guy, I'm 6'2", It's pretty comfortable. I put about 5k miles on it until Nov of last year, after that it's just too cold to ride anymore. Now that I got that freshman instinct of just wanting to be on my bike at all times, I figured I'd spend some time and share my FZ6 with you guys and start looking into how you all mod your bikes. I've been into cars since a child and a car mechanic for the last 4 years. Any thing that my bike needs done I try and do my self from mechanical to electrical down to body work. It helps that I work at a body shop too But I do find the options for modding a FZ6 is very limited, unless I am just not looking in the right place, but I've looked long and hard. I haven't done much as far as performance, I got the bike already with 2 TwoBrothers Exhaust, a ****ty speedo that originally never even turned on, naked conversion and K&N air filter. Since owning it I cleaned the air filter, changed the spark plugs for some fresh iridium ones, installed a fresh battery and replaced the old stater with an A/M one, lots of other FZ6 riders went A/M as it is better performing and less expensive than the yamaha OE replacement. Here's how I've been able to dress mine up over the past year. If you really want to know where I got my body panels from PM me and I'll gladly share, Otherwise share your opinions please! I want to know what I can do to really make this thing move, any tips on gaining performance are welcome! Handling, power, braking, share them all.
