This is the day after I pick up my new bike so it will be my first ride to work on it (first of many) :cheer::cheer::cheer:

Happy Birthday Senior & degake, Hope you both have an amazing day. :cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

Welcome to the Forum Mister E, it would be great to see a pic of your new machine :) :needpics: Have fun and ride safe :thumbup:

Congratulations on your new bike Otto, pleased to hear you've fixed your problem, with the help of the wonderful people on this forum. Don't be a stranger :)

Thanks Cliff, I kinda guessed that it should be interchangeable, but just wanted to confirm it, the guy in the shop couldn't guarantee it, but I did get him to agree on selling me the top box for €150 instead of €250 if the plate didn't fit, but obviously it's cheaper to keep my old box. I'll...

I'm hoping that someone can help me out, I have just ordered a Tracer with a rack (standaard from the accessories page). I was wondering if any one had any experience of mounting another plate or using some kind of adaptor to make a (FZ6) yamaha top box fit it. This is the rack I have on the...

I just moved to your side Andz :rolleyes: Just ordered my Tracer 900 this morning :cheer:

Thanks Scott but TBH I had also asked if they could notify me of any ECU they know about, whether it was just 2nd hand or if they had checked it. Yes the customer service was lousy, but they stated at the time of repair that corrosion had gotten into the chip, which is why they weren't willing...

Thanks for the tip Scott, my ECU is repaired by these guys just over a year ago, as my dealer sent it to them for repair (cost €329.50) . Unfortunately a year later it's broken again, and as it's just over a year later there is no guarantee :spank: I did talk to them and they said it was...

:cheer::cheer::cheer:Happy Birthday Adrian :cheer::cheer::cheer: agf Hope you have an amazing day.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem likely, my FZ6 is off the road at the moment, hopefully I can find a second hand ECU for my SAHG model, type number FUA0018, there seem to be plenty of pre 2007 ECU's around but none with the ABS option. New from Yamaha the whole key/transponder/CDU set costs...

I've got 144000 Km's (89477 miles) on mine, bought it new in 2007. It's always been kept outside and has done me well :thumbup: I must admit I'm looking for a new (to me) bike at the mo, but I seem to keep coming back to the FZ6 features as best, among others the reliability.

I think I would buy a new one if they were still on the market, and although they are great bikes I'm thinking about buying a new bike for ten years, or buying another FZ6 for now. The problem is My mrs's has agreed I could have €10000 for now to buy a new/other bike, but it has to last for a...

Well I found a couple of companies (ao: Motomtrix | Reset Motocycle ECU) that can reset CDI's for (euro) FZ6's and then using your red key you can recode it, so you don't have to replace the ignition transmitter and all the other locks (seat, helmet & fuelcap). The big problem now is finding a...

Great to hear that you still get some joy from your FZ6, but on the other hand shame that you have to get rid of it. A real PITA that you had to repair your BMW, despite the large fan club I've seen more broken down BMW's than any other bike :eek: Also a pain that you kept your bike for that...

That's the point Adrian the FZ6 can do a bit of everything, the power is enough for me but a bit more would be nice, problem is most of the 600 commuters are well under the FZ6's 98 HP. I even tried the Honda NC750 as it's one of the most economical in it's class, after riding it I knew why :( I...

Took a test ride last Thursday. I thought that the engine was great, bags of punch on fastest setting and still plenty on standard setting., I would love it if they could put this engine block in the FZ6 :drool:. My biggest problem was the sitting position, the bikes seat is taller than the FZ6...

RIP Nicky :(

A Big welcome to the forum Robert, congrats on your new bike, hope you like it, have fun and ride safely :cheer::cheer:

Thanks DruGus, the problem of misfiring was helped when the ECU was "repaired" just over a year ago (now just outside of waranty :( ). I was told that the printed circuit Card which the chip was mounted on was corroded and this was repaired. Now I'm getting all sorts of Ecu fault codes. I'm...
