    Fuel Cut Eliminator

    i've got to say, i'm a firm believer in the fce also! i have an '07. it really all depends on what youre trying to do with this bike and what power characteristics you are looking for. I most definitely felt a difference before and after! much smoother take up at light throttle openings, and a...

    god i hate this shifter

    this problem definitely seems like lack of experience. after a while youll downshift when you brake automatically. i also wonder if the person whose other bikes would downshift fine at a stop is because the other bikes were v twin cruisers? different characteristics?

    First Performance Mods

    i think the sub throttle plates are what is causing the biggest risk of your motor running lean due to the large increase in air at lower rpm's. Can the computer compensate for that? i dont know if it is able to compensate that much! removing the flies makes the power hit much harder (not as...

    Lurker from FZ6 forum

    ive owned a seca II and currently have a fz1 and my wife has the fz6. I would say the seca and the fz6 are pretty similar until the fz6 gets into high rpms. then the fz6 walks away. handling wise meatier tires definitely help but even the fz6 wallows a bit when pushed hard. You really have to...
