    Looking to buy an exhaust

    Your best bet is to check the for sale section in this forum as they come up quite often from members putting their bike back to stock before selling. I think it's kind of a sticker shock for new FZ6 owners to see what a slip on exhaust actually costs. Not sure if that's because there are two...

    Triples, Twins, That's All

    Yes I know the FZ 09 has aftermarket windscreens but it is my opinion that any windscreen large enough to offer significant wind protection looks out of place without at least some fairings.

    Triples, Twins, That's All

    +1 on this one. I so want to get the FZ-09 but after recently riding my buddies naked Kawasaki ZRX 1200 I couldn't stand the wind buffeting. I don't want full fairings either but a little half fairing like on the FZ6 or FZ1 would be great. I'm looking forward to see what the FJ-09 will look like.

    up and back bar risers

    When I bought the bike it came with FZ1 bars and I was thinking of switching to FZ6R bars but thought I would try risers as an easier alternative so hopefully I'm not leaning on my wrists as much.

    up and back bar risers

    I have these grips right now which are a fatter type but seem to be made of rubber. Road/Street Grips - Oury Grip USA I too think I will go to a gel type grip and was looking at set of these. https://www.motomummy.com/grips/driven-d-axis-grips/ As well as giving this dohicky a try...

    up and back bar risers

    I thought I would try some up and back bar risers to see if it would help with hand numbness but not sure if I want to spend a lot if I don't like them so thought I would see if any forum members had some lying about that they would like to sell. Let me know if you have anything. I can get a...

    Hot 90+ weather Jacket

    As stated before keep an eye out on Motorcycle Closeout's website for tempory insanity deals. You can get a good mesh jacket for around $100 or cheaper. For example I have this one which I really like for hot weather. Although it may be just me but I don't feel as well protected in a mesh as...

    05 seat

    ^+1. Had mine done by Spencer's and am very pleased. He didn't even charge me for the lowering of the seat!

    Fender Eliminator [help]

    That is the same FE kit that I have and I found it easier to switch to LED's than try to modify my stock lights(plus they look better). You can get the connector that I posted earlier and plug that into the wiring harness that is behind the rear fendor/sideplate (there are two of them, one for...

    Fender Eliminator [help]

    If it's this fender eliminator I don't think you can use your stock lights with it. Yamaha FZ6 FZ 6 Fender Eliminator 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Black 2T s NL | eBay You will have to get LED's. Then you can either splice into your existing wiring or get this connector to plug into you...

    Yamaha fz6 2005 hunting

    What does it mean if a motorcycle is hunting? I've never heard that term.

    Modding and I don't even have a license yet lol

    Here is the best setup in my opinion so it doesn't looked "hacked up" if you want LED's in the front. Use this relay to keep your same blink rate. LF1-S-FLAT Universal Motorcycle Electronic Flasher | Flashers & Load Resistors | Car Bulb Installation Supplies | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright...

    Sand and turns..

    Accelerate. Like if your off-roading and your buddy yells to you as your chugging up a sand hill "Give it the beans man!"Blah But seriously if your going through a suspect corner don't accelerate hard until your through it.

    Sand and turns..

    Sounds to me like you might be overthinking things a bit, not uncommen for new riders. As stated before take your time and you'll be fine. Also if you are making a left or right turn and you think there might be sand or gravel in the road don't give it the beans until your through the turn and...

    Wait wait.. FZ-07?

    I know the MT-07 has been around for a couple years. They must of decided to see how well it would sell in North America. I still would rather have to FZ-09 but I do like the looks of that seat way more and wish it would be an option for the 09.

    the2Wheel Levers

    I have the new 7-click shorty style for my bike and so far so good as far as the fading and coming out of adjustment. But of course they have not seen too much extended times in bright sunshine yet as it's only the beginning of May. We'll see how they look come the middle of summer when I have...

    New Member - DMV

    Welcome, nice looking naked you have there! You'll love the forum, the folks on it are awesome with tons of FZ6 knowledge. Looking at your posted photo you might want to check your chain tension, it's looking a little slack. Also if the fluids (brake, coolant, fork) haven't been changed that...
