1st time poster, long time lurker! I recently acquired an '06 FZ6. The story I got was that the driver "fell asleep" while riding one night. I've been riding all sorts of bikes for almost 40 years, and to date, I have yet had the inclinling of even dosing off during a ride, so I must sumise that there were other factors involved with this wreak. The bike has been in a garage for about 2-3 years. I am also currently working on getting all the necessary parts needed to fix the bike, most importantly the ignition swich which is OEM and on its way, so I can atleast see if this bike will even turn over since the person I got the bike from had lost the keys.
I'm getting a new gas tank as it was dented from the wreck, so there will not be any contaminates in the fuel system, however I am concerned about the radiator. While no visable signs show of any damage, what should I do in order to flush it out, and possibly get rust (assuming it is in there) out?
Should there be an issue with the engine itself, has anyone done a cost analyst on buying a referbished motor, or simply rebuilding it yourself? Should you rebuild it yourself, can you increase the horsepower of the engine itself?
Thanks for all of your insites on this matter!
