Welcome Tyler! Congrats on buying Shoop's ride. I haven't ridden West of the Mississippi yet... but can emphatically state that WV has THE BEST motorcycle roads on this side of it. You're blessed to live there!

Forgot the /s, Scott!

Nice bike. Title of post should be FZ6? GLWS.

PM me your email address, I'll send you an FSM copy for the S1 FZ6.

That’s a great find!

Gary gets the 'A' this time for his response...especially about people sucking. New OEM triple clamp and ignition lock part numbers for your S1 are below (from RonAyers.com). Might be able to find the triple clamp used somewhere for big savings. Crown, Handle 5VX-23435-10-00 Main Switch...

Sold my FZ this past summer, upgraded to a BMW 850GS. I miss the FZ but the BMW fits my frame better (6’2). As I got older my knees yelled at me after sitting on the FZ for a few hours. Cruise control is a game changer, and I appreciate the ABS for safety. But as I said, I do miss the FZ6.

After doing a little research, I realize that you saw the true benefit of the "Vermont Loophole" is for when the title is lost or there's an issue with existing one. And besides...it appears it's $76/year for the car registration in VT. I'd be spending about 40 bucks more per year. I thought...

What Gary said. I emphasize his bit about "ENGINE is RUNNING". Just turning the bike key to 'ON' will not send power to the headlights. You have to start it first; you can then kill it with the red switch and it will stay on (power will be present, at least) for troubleshooting. (You...

Thanks boys!

Great job! Can't beat the mileage. Vermont registration...hmmm. Think I can register my car in Vermont, and avoid the insane priced annual PA registration fee and annual inspection process? Intrigued.

Welcome! It should carve up those twisties like a beast. Bike looks sharp! FYI, from the photo it's clear your bike is an S1. You say it's a 2008; I know that some countries put the year of the bike as the year it was sold; but just for info the S1 version was made in 2004-2006. S2 was...

Old eBay link. Try this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-FZ6-FAZER-HANDLEBAR-BAR-RISERS-/265049303384?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Thanks Cliff! You were my first mod (your dual headlight relay). You always remember your first ;)

Seem to be a few of these posts lately. After being a two bike owner for about 8 months, I have sold the FZ6 in favor of the BMW F850 GS. As most say...I will probably regret it. If that happens I'll get another! But life is short, and for now I'm moving on. The good news is I sold her...

3 weeks? Was it new? Must have been doing a lot of burn outs! My Michelin PR2's last 5000 miles at least.

Are all four hoses connected together at the manometer end properly? I would think that an extreme vacuum in cylinder 4 should be pulling the fluid from each of the other 3, not just the adjacent tubing. Wondering if your tool is at fault?

I went the very inexpensive route. You may choose to go with Givi or some other brand names, up to you! For the top case, I installed the OEM Shad top rack mount to get started. Most expensive piece of the pie. FZ6 Shad Top Rack The top case is off-brand from Amazon ('Bestem'), currently...

I’ve done thousands and thousands of long distance touring miles on my ‘05. The bike is absolutely perfect for it. Chews up the highway miles with ease, and is ready to carve up the canyons when called upon. It’s two different bikes, really, depending on the RPM’s. Docile in low range...a...

Someone posted the link below for a replacement pump, might be a cheaper option. No sender included, though. https://www.highflowfuel.com/i-23900353-quantum-intank-efi-fuel-pump-for-yamaha-fz6-fazer-2004-2009.html Here’s the thread: https://www.600riders.com/threads/aftermarket-fuel-pump.59545/
