Lots of things were. I finally got things sorted out, I think. I still need to make room for my fat feet and loosen up my Knee bend. After A couple of hours my knees go stiff and getting them down for a landing gets rough. Like I told the last cop to stop me for running a stop sign; "but I yield for red lights."
Which is a bad habit, sorta. I normally roll through stop signs in first at 15 to 20 MPH. I'll stop for a red light if there is a lot of traffic. A bad habit to get into. Not so much for me but I sometimes ride with kids and they don't need to pick up my bad habits.
I have rear sets to put on the next good day and the next tire change I will put on a new shock and spring. Check and lube the swing arm while I'm at it. That should pretty much do it for 2015. Unless, of course, my high beam dies. Low beam went and I have a new one ordered. I should have ordered another high, since it is not a bad idea to replace them together.
The Battery is good (fingers crossed) but 10 years is pretty good and I keep it on a battery tender Jr. but eventually it will go.
American law requires that a parts inventory be maintained for 10 years after a model is sold. That is the point in being 10 years old. Since the FZ-6 was the #1 selling 600 worldwide in '05 and '06, Yamaha will probably keep the parts chain going.
