    FZ6R Cruise Control / Throttle Control available choices

    Go Cruise I just got a Go Cruise throttle control. The price was right. All I need it for is to keep the bike at speed while I slap my leg to get the feeling back in the hand.

    If you have a multi-meter put in ohms and check for continuity to ground on the switch wires you bypassed.

    Anyone have a name for their bike?

    OK... I'm guilty of sloppy due diligence but I did do a search for any threads titles with the key word "name". Got nothing.

    Anyone have a name for their bike?

    I got over the embarrassment of calling my bikes by name long ago:o I called my cruiser Tiny because it was exactly the opposite.

    Anyone have a name for their bike?

    Just curious if anyone here has a name for there 6R. I usually come up with a name or handle to call my rides. Usually some kind of endearing name that represents it's looks, personality or demeanour. It usually takes me a few weeks of contemplation before one finally sticks. I think I...

    Hello from Portugal

    Welcome from Ontario Canada. Looks like you are having beautiful sunny weather. Enjoy year-round riding. We'll soon have snow on the ground.

    Service costs?

    The inspection person must have been referring to the clutch cable which is a reasonably simple procedure. I think your $300 estimate is fair especially if they're replacing the plugs and assuming the material costs are included.

    Welcome to the 6R world. If I ride past you on mine next time I'm in Perth I'll give you a wave which is one of the other Perths on the planet. Perth Ontario is nice little town and a great riding destination.

    What stand do I need

    I just received my Venom triple tree stand. Of course it wasn't shipped with a 21mm pin. I called some of the bike parts places in my area. The pin was going to cost half as much as the stand. So I took the 13mm pin (about 1/2" diameter) and long 1/2" socket with the socket barrel diameter...

    New Member asking about the FZ6R for my dad

    I got it. I would love to live in a warmer climate. I have to gear up to ride either one just to say warm:)

    I agree that safety is key and when you have no worries about road conditions there is no pucker factor and lets you enjoy the ride knowing the Spyder's nanny will have your back. My only advice is to always have a bike waiting in the wings when you feel the urge to squeeze your nether regions.

    New Member asking about the FZ6R for my dad

    I have the Spyder RSS and the 6R. We got the spyder exclusively for 2 up. Even though my ex VTX had a low seat height, I wasn't comfortable with the wife on the back in parking lots and other low speed situations. If I ever had a Monty Python moment with her on the back I would never hear the...

    New Member asking about the FZ6R for my dad

    Good to hear your Dad is enjoying it and having fun. Your description of the throttle response mirrors mine. I don't find it too docile though. It's just very predictable and linear. I've always found straight roads boring. As I get older I seem to enjoy the scenery more:)
