Probably depends on your type of buns, but for most, the stock seat not made for long rides. It can be more comfortable than on some other bikes, but still far from perfect. When I bought my bike the it came with Corbin and the owner gave me stock too. Well the Corbin was brick hard and...

Well, yeah if the lane is wide enough, then it's better to sit close to the yellow line so the cagers would drive by on right. (many times it's enough space even to pass a car turning left. Passing a left-turning car/bike on a right is totally legal in NJ If the lane is narrow, then yeah, it...

Where exactly have you stopped for a turn? ie in the middle or far left of the lane? In such cases I normally stop as close to the yellow line, or even in between them. I read in "Motorcycle Magazine" that another way to do, is to pull over to the right and wait out for traffic to pass, then...

It might be my impression, but I think that 07 -09 model has wider tank near the seat area. This makes the sitting position less comfortable...

I have this MRA X-Creen Tour Clamp-On Variable Windscreen Spoiler Blade Windshield Extension - TwistedThrottle.com It's a touring one. Not cheap at all, but does the job. It cost a bit more because it''s not only bolt's into the screen, but can be clamped on it as well. Bolt-on only - MRA...

Some people contacted me thru PM about the camera, so I will write a little about it here for everyone to read who is interested. I'm selling it because I have another camera - Drift Ghost, and I came to conclusion that I don't need 2 cameras. It is too much work in terms of post-processing, not...

Put 7.5 wt. Feels much better.

I tryed several windshields and there is no perfect one for the task. The best one so far is to cut the stock to the mirror base. No buffeting nor noise. However the highway ride over 70 is hard on the chest. To solve that, I bought an MRA spoiler and problem solved. Best wind protection as it...

Is there a drain plug, or it has to be pumped out?

Do you change fork oil based. on time of mileage? Also which weight is coming from the factory? Would it be ok to have 5w for a smoother ride over NJ bumpy roads? Thanks.

The tech doesn't bother me much. I already got used to the digital one on 06 fz6. And the fun factor overrides every other little thing on 09. As for s3pl, in my view Yamaha is livelier and more reliable too.

...cause you'll buy it or will dream of buying it! I test-drove to fz09 and I fell in love with it. It is so nimble, light and full of life. Pure joy. Narrow tank makes it very flickable, and it moves well at any gear. I Came from FZ6R to FZ6 and this is nearly how I felt in comparison to 6r...

This only partially will solve the problem. My cans and the topcase are all getting covered in water and mud and it goes all the way over the topcase. Maybe a rear huger like on a GS would help, but I'm not sure how it would look on the FZ...

I got a 45 litres Shad topcase and the rack at Yamaha dealer. $169 for the case and 120 for the rack. Not a bad deal. No backrest needed. Passenger can lean on the box.

Wow, 10 pages already... Didn't know FZ6'rs are so anal about pipes. But they do look so good after the cleaning. Reminds me of the HD riders who're constantly polishing pipes...

I assume you had to take them off? So this way it's also possible to paint in silver or gold... hmmm

OMG they look like a mirror :) Thanks.

Any one has these ugly stains on the exhaust pipes? They were spotless when I bought the bike, but after few months of riding they starting to accumulate. I did not have a naked bike before, so had never paid attention to it. Now when they're exposed it just stands out...

I'd guess you can do that... Didn't think of flipping them over as they're tall enough as is :)
