Re: 15 HP for $25.00?
I'd go with something more name-brand....power commander, two brothers....etc

That's just personal choice, and I'd want something tested and true. Besides...is the FZ6 not fast enough for ya?

Not a chance... 15hp? We've got members that spend well over $1,000 here on mods and got 6 - 8 hp tops. Please, don't believe them!

That's kinda how I feel. 15 horsies for 25 bucks vs $200-$300 for Power commander. Usually if it sounds too good to be true...
Your last quote is the scariest question I've had to think about lately... but I have to answer, "NO!" (I thought that when I was done with personal preference / comfort mods, I was done! WRONG! )

So..... you've exceeded your riding abilities on the FZ6 and have pushed the bike beyond its OWN capabilities?

Re: 15 HP for $25.00?
this has been discussed before, general consensus is that these things are just resistors that make the bike think that the air is cold so it dumps more fuel, not goo for the engine or performance on a bike that runs notoriously "Fat" anyway.

I totally agree! I have not read anything on this forum about it, so I probably should have known and answered my own question... I have bought quite a bit off of Ebay, and been pleased, but this ad is really pushing it- IMHO
Thank you, ready
