    FS: speedohealer, led gear indicator, sprockets

    I posted this stuff on CL locally and got no bites. I should list it here where the FZ6R crowd is (sold my FZ6R a while back). The prices are for local pick up. I'm not sure how much it costs to ship this stuff. Everything is new, unused, and unopened. If you're somewhere around Bay Area /...

    For sale: Corbin seat (FZ6R 09+)

    SOLD Corbin seat for sale, asking $260 shipped, which is $220 less than new. Barely used seat, it's effectively brand new condition. Sold my FZ6R recently. Ships from California. (I've got to find a box to ship it in!) If you are local around Modesto / Bay Area and you can pick it up, I'm...

    how the Xena disc alarm actually works

    The lock and the alarm are independent. The alarm doesn't know if the lock is engaged or not. The part in the instructions about locking and unlocking a couple times "to wake the alarm up from sleep mode" has nothing to do with locking and unlocking, and everything to do with simply jiggling...

    why CAPTCHA so often?

    It makes me do CAPTCHA on almost every post and post preview! (But didn't for this thread, or this edit to say so.)

    FZ6R goes with gold rims?

    Would Rapid Red / White look good with gold rims? I've got the stock black rims with the red stripe right now. Also, are there any pics for this model with the side sticker removed? Eh, it looks unbalanced with a plain white fairing, nevermind. Er, I photoshopped it myself for the rims:

    best GPS setup?

    (Yeah, the thread title is inaccurate now. First I wanted the ultra-gps setup naturally. Then I realized I only need basic nav to do what I really wanted to achieve.) Basically want a stand-alone gps, as my phone gps doesn't always have a cell network data connection. Don't need fancy, just...

    evil road tar snakes!

    This weekend, I encountered 14 miles of narrow, highly curvy and elevation-changing road with no side rails and a large drop-off to the right, and the deal-breaker was the seemingly fresh tar snakes on the road that were apparently also TALL. Holy crap, the bike was sliding like crazy, and I...

    Which steel 43T rear sprocket?

    Want to try +1/-3 (17/43) for cruising after tinkering with GearingCommander.com site (any more probably warrants 116 link chain). The steel Driven 17T front sprocket is easy to find, but the rear is a bit more challenging. I see a JT at BikeBandit, but it doesn't explicitly say 520. And...

    seat height question

    Hi everyone, just picked up a barely used 2014 FZ6R that is all stock as far as I know. I am 5'10" (thin male runner body) and am surprised that I can barely flat-foot the thing. I've already found the "how to lower" threads for the front (wrench) and rear (link). But does it sound right that...
