    Headlight Upgrade. Rabbitman109 where you at?

    Rabbit's out of the business.. outside of doing an HID, you can add aftermarket spot lights, just have to make sure they're legal in your state for on-road use and that you don't over-wattage them for the bike electrical system. Stick with LED and power shouldn't be a problem, but will come at...

    What are your shifting habits? Please help

    I'm not on an 8, been on an FZ6R for over five years... and I've always shifted around 6-9krpms (redline is around 11) and kept my rpms up in the 5-7k while riding, now with over 60K miles on the bike and she runs just like new... I did do a demo ride on the 8 and about the same... it's a sport...

    New Owner!! Whats the real deal break-in period?!

    exactly... so many people misread the manual and baby it... just ride it, but if you're a new rider and not familiar with I4... be careful... that power band hits fast... even on my wimpy FZ6R, above 7K she screams... and can get you into trouble fast coming out of a corner

    New Owner!! Whats the real deal break-in period?!

    straight from the owners manual "Avoid prolonged operation" over xxx rpm until xxx miles... it never says you can't run it to redline from the lot, just don't run full throttle highway speeds... so just ride it!
