Hello to all!
I recently purchased a 2009 FZ6R and figured I should gain some knowledge on it. So I here I am! I bought the bike mainly so my girl can go on rides with me. But the more I tinker the more Im thinking this may become my daily. Rather than get myself in trouble on my 1000rr.
The bike was a lil rough around the edges when I bought it. Mainly fairings as it was "Dropped in the garage" so I was told by the previous owner. But it runs like a champ and for $1k I figured it was a pretty good deal. I've been told these bikes are pretty bulletproof. It has 15k miles on it and so far I I've done an oil change (amsoil, o yeah) and coolant flush. Removed all the fairings and gonna go naked! I'm debating on what to do about the exhaust as I messaged Marthy about the exhaust mod and never heard back. I have a machine shop so just chopping up the stock wouldn't be a crazy challenge. But don't know what is usually the proper slip on to go with and whether it's a must to have pcv/autotuner and what not. Just wondering if theres anything else in particular that I should check prior to taking the open road for very long.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! In the meantime I'll be powder coating everything that I can get off the bike!
Make her look fresh and clean!
Thanks in advance!
