I know what you mean about the droning, mine is exactly the same! Even my mate commented on it when he rode it the other day. |
Yeah the orange was my favourite.
What exhaust do you have on yours ?
Are you running a de cat?

Not usually a fan of bikes with no fairing (think that's what body work is called, don't hurt me I'm new  ) but must say this is a nice bike. |

+ 1 to this 
I am sure you said in a an exchange of PM's we had to avoid the 04-06 FZ because of the fueling issues |
I did indeed say that.
And you are correct, the 04-05's had gash fuelling. I was unaware though at the time that they had made changes to the 06 models (well according to wikipedia anyway)  . I didn't think it was until the s2 models that they sorted it! (S2's are still better though)
The PC3 makes no end of difference to the fuelling, I'm totally sold to them. Even when you look at the power curve which is a bit 'wobbly' to say the least its VERY smooth when riding.
In comparison with the early Fazers, the seating position is very similar. The suspension on this feels a lot better, mine on the 02 Fazer is a big pogo stick ish but this is a lot more solid. This feels smaller (due to the lack of the massive fairing on the front obviously). Feels more flickable, but I can't comment so much on that as the tyres are rather squared off. I'll be able to give a better comparison after I get some new ones on there.
Its a bit blowy at speed, so a fly screen is on the list.
Reason I changed from the other Fazer was I found it gave me cramp on long journeys (this still does anyway), it was to big for lots of filtering, the 02 wasn't any good on track and I prefer fuel injection.
We'll see how I get on with this, and how well it lasts. It's been looked after so far so I'm hoping I can keep it in good nick. Get the feeling that the build quality isn't anywhere near the standard of the early ones though.
The other reason I bought it is I only paid 2.5k. Considering the prices of hornets and the old shape Fazers its only about £500 more for something 4 years younger with half the miles.

Done, its insured and ready to go very soon. Just needs tax and my restrictor kit fitted *cough* and shes ready .
Did luke drop the tyres round btw? I might need them for this

And where are you getting your monies from? Is it Action Man royalties?
I quite like the look of them, heard bad things about the gearboxes though. |
I've currently got 4 inline 4's .
I like them, rode an SV650 and wasn't a fan at all. Next thing to try is a triple as I think they'll suit my needs the best but the street triple was way out of budget.
Plus I'm restricted as to what I can actually buy because insurance is rather expensive for me being 18.
What you heard about the gearbox's? They sorted the second gear issues in 04 and I've not heard any other bad words.
Monies is from working. I had some money put aside from my non fault accident not long ago for uni incase I didn't have a job, to allow me to keep a bike running. Seeing as I've kept my job I've used that to buy this, and when I sell my other 2 bikes will top that fund back up again.
Paddy, cheers! I'll come get them in a couple of weeks  .
Rob, mine is fine for the first 60 miles. Then it just hurts like hell. In the long run I'm either going to buy or make some gilles rear sets or similar. I'm planning a few track days too and might take this so the extra ground clearance would be nice too.

Can get a Striple for 4k. That's less than the Daytona and the FZ6 combined. |
Gearbox feels nice. Not the smoothest change in the world but its not bad at all.
I'd love Striple, insurance was 1k though. Also, reason I've got 2 bikes is the FZ6 is for uni, wouldn't want a 4k bike to ride around Swansea on. This was pushing it!

That is a seriously nice bike. However I would still have a striple.
Can you please update your sig. I am getting extremely confused about what bikes you currently own. Are most not on the road?

Well,
Done a few miles on it now.
I think this is actually the best bike I've ever ridden. Everytime I ride it, I come back with a big grin on my face.
Even went out on the Daytona and was dissapointed!
Would highly reccomend!

That solves it. I have space and no bike currently, send it down baby |
I would, however its not running right at all. Need to work out why!
Also, brakes feel a bit shite too. So need to look at that!

Either way, me love you long time... I need to ride that bike again... Pains me everyday knowing you have one. 
My brakes were painfully crap... I just went slower. |
I've tried the stock map which was the worst.
Waiting for the weather to improve so I can try again!
