Ah, should have specified i meant rather the metal stick bit was missing from the end of the dip stick it seems. The cap is still there. But even so, managed to find one at a local auto parts spot nearby!

Hey all - changed my oil and it only dawned on me that I have no dip stick until after I added the new oil. I figure I can check the oil using pretty much anything of length provided I know the full length of an FZ6R dip stick, but I unfortunately have none to measure nor can I find any...

I'm also interested in this - Looked for a belly pan but The XJ6 models online look super soft. Are there any other bikes that might have a belly pan that comes close?

I'm planning on doing the XJ6 conversion for my FZ6R and was wondering about the XJ6 Headlight - I've seen places that it's similar to the FZ8 headlight, but what I'm curious about is how either/both attach to the bike. In pictures it looks like it rotates with the front wheel, as if it's...

Police recovered my bike yesterday - covered in mud, and 100 miles i didn't ride on it. The thief parked it two blocks from where they stole it, though. No immediately obvious damage either. Weird thing is, the closest mud to me would be straight north, across the Golden Gate or Bay bridges, but...

San Francisco rider here, been riding on off for 6 years but never been an owner before, picked up my fz6r two months ago
