    First Day. Three close calls

    creggur, All good points and anything we can do to help us be seen better is definitely a plus in my book. spoonybard, Make sure your headlights are adjusted properly and maybe even a little higher. When I first got my bike people were turning in front of me and pulling out in front of me...

    I broke my bike in as directed by the owners manual. That was how I broke in all my new bikes.

    Why is the fuel mileage not better???

    I average 47 to 48 mpg on the FZ6R now after the break in period. I was averging 43 to 44 mpg on my Bandit 1250S litre bike. So it looks like the FZ6R is getting 4 mpg more than the Bandit 1250S both driven at the same speeds and roads. My conclusion; it takes more throttle twist (higher RPM)...

    Regular Unleaded vs Premium Unleaded?

    Just my thoughts but if the engine doesn't ping using the 86 octane at your altitude. I'd be comfortable with using the 86 octane ratio. If I detected any pinging what so ever, I'd switch to the mid grade fuel.

    Vibrations/knocking at 20 mph

    I would get that bike back to the Dealer and let them check it out. You would start a paper trail to show that the issue was there since the bike was new.

    Biketober

    Yea, I keep clear of Beach & Main during Bikeweeks or Biketoberfest. I usually hang around the Race Track area. Visit the different Manufactures Tents, check out some race practice and call it a day. Houligans near Rossmeyer's, is that US-1 & I-95?

    NEW 2011 Ninja 1000? Upright Riding Position.

    I heard Kawasaki produced the Ninja 1000 to compete directly with the FZ1 and Bandit 1250S. The Ninja 1000 has the Z-1000 motor, up right seating, fully faired with relaxed ergonomics. Nice looking bike in my humble opinion.
