new from se london/surrey
« on: 10 April 2012, 08:31:05 am »
morning boys n girls,,, new to the site and a new fz6 owner,,,got a couple of questions about the bike if you dont mind??,,
1) is it normal for the bike to 'lurch' when put into 1st gear?
2) only the left head light stays on?? not both during normal,, not dipped use?
3) petrol consumtion seems high,,, had a sv650 before and seemed to get more mileage from that.
cheers and ride safe!!

Welcome to the site mate, hope you're enjoying the FZ6, I loved mine.
:D
There are a few folks around your way, have a wee look at the Members Map up top and see who's close by.

As to the questions about the 6, if you post directly in the FZ6 section you'll likely get a better response.

I had the naked version so can't answer about the lights, but the Yamaclunk into first is fairly standard across the range.
As for fuel consumption, I never get the best from whatever bike I'm on (can't think why...) but I don't remember it being too thirsty.
Mibbes worth having a look at the service history, see if she is due a wee fettle?
