Can we get a photo with the bubble windscreen installed...maybe a comparison (before/after) photo?

That one is a b!tch to get off, but everyone here has done it and pretty much the same way. I was impatient and used the edge of my nail and rubbing alcohol, then cleaned thoroughly after I was finished. Should have heated it first.

... I believe you can run it as low as 87, but my dealer also told me that higher octane and better gas (no ethanol) will make the bike run better, get better gas mileage, and give better power. To confirm this, I've run mostly on 91 ethanol free, then emptied the gas tank and put 105...

Sorry for the absence...three weeks to the day I got my bike, a truck pulled out in front of me and when I grabbed the brakes at 40 mph, the bike STOPPED. I did not. The bike did a 270 degree flip in the air, landed on it's tail and catapulted me onto the pavement. Yes, at 40 mph. I got up...

Okay, I have to say I'm a little ticked. I've been waiting for the Corbin seat since I bought my bike in May. I was expecting a seat like the rest of their seats, one that matches the bike set up, in our case, a split front and back with a backrest option. My wife won't ride without a back...

:needpics:

Um, if you wanted clip ons, why did you buy an FZ6R? Second, there is no way to get clip-ons on this bike without modifying the fairing.

100. As soon as I got it there, I backed off the throttle. It got there quickly. As to break in...got my "1st maintenance" on Saturday. Yeehaw. :rockon:

Um, yeah, right. :spank:

The two dealers I've talked to here (when I bought mine) both have sold 4 each (I was #4 at the second), and I've got the only blue one...3 black, 2 white, 2 yellow. If any of you local FZ6Rs see this give me a shout and we'll ride.

We literally had rain here every day for 3 weeks straight (and that's unusual for us). But I bought my bike and it's been sunshine ever since...put 300 miles on it in about 5 days.

I agree. But it's not my seat I want to replace. The Mrs. would like a back rest and the Corbin Lady Gunfighter is about all I can stomach putting on my pretty bike...

Actually, your understanding of the MSF course is a bit flawed. One of the first things they tell you is that the more you've been riding, the harder the course will be. You'll spend more time trying to break bad habits, than learning the new ones. The beginner's MSF course teaches you riding...

I talked to Corbin and they are looking for an FZ6R. If you're close to Hollister, CA, and don't mind donating your bike for a week or two to Corbin R&D, you'd help the rest of us out by getting Corbin seats for the R on the market and you'd get free Corbin seats!!! I'm not even remotely...

I just did this to my bike. They take a little getting used to but work perfectly. No more blind spots. $1.99 each at Pep Boys.
