Hey everyone!
I've been popping in & out every now and then over the years. Even if things have been quiet here in recent years, it's still good to come over and visit the old hood to see who's still around and hanging out.
I sold the 6R back in 2015. I had the FZ09 at the time, didn't really need 2 bikes and sold the 6R and use the $ to buy a cage. The FZ09 was a blast to ride and got the best of my stupid self on many occasions (LOL) but never been a nice bike to cruise around on A1A (Florida). Over 20% throttle the bike was stupid fun but the throttle was a bit snatchy on/off throttle and kind of killed the enjoyment to me. End up selling it too 3 years ago and been bikeless ever since. Well, mountain biking kind of took over LOL
All that to say, I have the opportunity to buy my old FZ6R back! The former member here and still friend today contacted me few days ago saying she hasn't ridden much this passes few years and she's considering selling my old girl. The bike is already setup the way I like, just need to reinstall the luggage rack. Only thing that hold me back is maintenance wise. The bike has been sitting for a while now and the bike will need a good go over before pounding some miles on it.
By example:
Flushing all fluid
Condition of fork and rear shock?
Brakes seals and hoses need to be replaced
Battery needs to be replaced (she dead lol)
Set of tires (same as when I sold it)
Sprocket & chain conditions?
Optional:
FZ6 cams mod and PCV
All the rest is still there minus the exhaust but I had it modded with 2 outlet and did enjoy the sound/look.
I'll dwell on this few more days...
