Just saying hello, I have been riding for about a month. I started on a 2000 kawasaki ninja zx6r and i didnt like it. The positioning was uncomfortable and i fell over once because it was so hard to turn without skills.:spank:

Anyways just sold my bike today and picked up a new one tonight. The only reason i wanted to sell my bike in the first place is my gf got a 2007 Kawasaki z750s and i fell in love with it instantly :BLAA:

So after searching for ninja 650r, sv650, and kawasaki z750. To be honest i couldnt find anything affordable that was not sold almost instantly. So i decided to go see this fz6 that someone just posted for sale. I really liked it a lot!!!! and bought it on the spot. :thumbup:

TO be honest i like my gf bike a little more but it might be because hers is pretty much brand new and mine is used but its ok its my first bike and she got a once in a lifetime deal on hers.

So my new fz6 is a 2005 with 29k miles. It has some mods and some strange wiring going on under the seat but i havent figured out what mods it has yet. I know it has flush mount turns front and back, rear brake light has integrated turn signals. And it has frame sliders on both sides (one on the right is longer for some reason).

How is the head light supposed to operate?? I turn on my lights and only one light comes on. I turn on the brights and the right brighter lights comes on along with the left low beam. My gf bike has both lights on and they seem way brighter then mine. :cheer:

Anyways looking forward to hopefully riding with some of you san diegans :)
 
:welcome:to the forum! Where in SD are you?

I have a fix for the headlight. I'm also savvy on wiring! We have a few locals that ride together so hit us up for a ride.

Someone also did the fender eliminator on your bike. Looks good!

Im super excited about this forum. Im hoping its really active :Sport:

Motogiro I live in Santee and work in Clairemont. Where are you guys at?? I would love to meet up. Only thing is i still only have my permit so i have to take side streets hahaha :thumbup: Havent had time off work to take the dmv test.

My gf has a kawasaki Z750S realllllly nice bike. See attached pic :)
 
Welcome to the forum..we have a great bunch of guys here in socal, so get that dl so you can join us: in some great rides:thumbup:
 
What shop in SD do you guys have your service done and buy parts from?? I bought all my gear from cycle gear and i love that place but is there any place you guys recommend?
 
:welcome: This is the best forum out there and also the best motorcycle too. Ride safe and enjoy the ride. :D

I have to agree with you 100% Its awesome to find a group of riders that love there bikes this much and share their thought and ideas with people they don't know! :Sport:
 
Whats up, i just bought a fz6 on tuesday i'm also in san diego, point loma. interestingly enough i bought mine from a guy in santee, i work in mira mesa. Looks like there's a lot of san diegoans here, thats cool

LOL! I can't believe how many people are coming out of the SD area lately! We have some awesome places here to ride and we plan on doing a ride with the idea of newer riders getting some experience under their belts so we'll be doing slower pace rides on some awesome roads!

I live in in Mira Mesa. Let me know if you need the headlight mod. I'll install it for free while you're at work! :D

This is a great group here on this forum!
