just bought a 170/60/17 bridgestone BT016 AND 120/70/17 Bridgestone S20 as a replacement for my stock tires.
let's see if there's any different from the stock BT021 on 160s.
16500KM on the stock tires with 70% highways/city, and rest mostly on off-ramps.
planning my first track day...
this video I shot few months back on my fz6r, the bike can turn nicely around the ramps safely with some speed. getting yourself ready before the turn and position is important. sometimes I push the bike to my own limits and I can go around at ~125-130km/h (~75mph?) comfortably, so you are good...
finally got my set of shogun frame sliders installed, it took a lot longer than i expected, now i have to get use to the "new" look, not really a fan of something sticking out of my bike.
totally forgot about this post.
yeah I have no idea what that was either and the bike runs fine since then so it might be one of those "problem" that show up once and never come back again...hopefully:p.
yesterday, my bike stalled/shut-off while I was clutching in from 2nd to 1st during a short around the block ride with my kid.
here's a short video clip.

it seems to fire up and run no problem today, I've never encounter that problem in my ~8000km...
congrats Ade!!! i really like the white/red combo, and best of luck on your skill test!
did last owner painted the frame bars black? all the white fz6r's that i have seem have red bars... which looks even more better imo.
ride safe.
I've been doing that ever since i have my fz6r (10months)... i did that on my cbr250 too.
kickstand seems fine, only damage I've seem is my concrete floor so far.
just have to do it right and life would be much easier inside the garage :D
just wanted to share a road with you.
it's a 1 hour round trip back road that's nice and close to where i live.
have a nice day.

i tell people that too, sirens from a fire truck is way louder and yet people don't GTFO so yeah, i agree with you on that 100%.
and i didn't modified my exhaust to be "loud". i wanted a nice sound .... a proper "sport bike" sound for myself that's closer to what i heard on those race bikes...
i know a local fz6r rider, he did the same exhaust mod too. but our bikes sounds different. his bike is more "loud", mine is more well... what you are hearing in the video.
initially i wanted the same thing done, but i am "weird", i wanted to try things out, i was thinking.. my car exhaust...
Thanks.
I did the stock exhaust mod. With a rolled thicker exhaust tip.
this is the one I bought
Custom Exhaust Tip, 7-in. | Canadian Tire
On the stock exhaust, i did 2inch cut out with a 2.25 tip. If cut too big it will sound a little different as I've heard a local fz6r with a 2.5inch...
a short clip of my fz6r with some little mods.
bought the fz6r stock last summer, and really like the way the bike looks and sounds now.

the one thing I dislike on the fz6r is that those bulky amber lights front and back, especially the front ones and I'm not a fan of flush mounts, so with little bit of hardware, i DIY my own front signal mount :o, seems ok.
and 4 extra stock signal harness kits so no wire cutting, nice and...
i was going to drop my collision coverage too to save $$$, but for extra $118CAD per year for full coverage with $250 deductible, it's not worth the "risk" just in case.
you pay about the same money but with 1000$ deductible, imo that's a little too high for something like our bike(I don't...
