    Looking at a used FZ6... what do I need to know?

    I've got a blue one (06) and I love it, I also have an R6, love that too, both totally different rides but basically the FZ6 does everything I want it too, simply put it is an excellent bike, you will love it!!

    Crankcase...failure

    What about a little bit of heat directed at the bolts from the outside of the crankcase, may loosen the loctite enough to free them. Just a thought

    2006 FZ6 wind buffeting problem

    I had the same problem with buffeting on my 06 so I installed the genuine Yamaha taller screen which I got from E Bay, it has made a noticeable difference but takes away from the styling slightly, I will get used to it but may take awhile.

    Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

    True...It would be nice to hear a few types beforehand but it's kinda tricky at the moment as we have 2 feet of snow and no chance of getting my bike out for at least another 5 weeks, I would really like the pipes on by then. Thanks

    Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

    Not really, I want to keep the noise down to street legal and for long rides, not sure how the Scorps sound or whether they give you a headache or not. I keep reading threads on exhaust systems but I am no expert but it just seemed the Akros fitted my need. TBs from what I can gather are...

    leo vince exhaust

    I saw this as well but according to my mechanic Titanium does not stand up to well to vibration and expansion making for very weak welds, he is always fixing Titanium exhausts, it still looks good though but for the right price, $450 is getting up there again even if it is good condition it is...

    Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

    Ok Cycle Gear prices for the TBs as they dont do Akropovic as follows, Aluminum $719.99, Carbon $899.99 and the Titanium $899.99 all US plus $25.00 shipping. Still a bit pricey when you do the conversion, I will still try and get down to around $600 US if I can.

    Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

    Yep seen that one, I have it in my watched file on E Bay, the $670 set are the cheapest so far brings the price out to around $850 CDN plus shipping if they will, I have e mailed them just in case. Dennis Kirk will supply and ship for around $800 US approx $1000 CDN but then we have the tax...

    Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

    Just e mailed both companies for shipping costs but the pipes are still a lot of money because of the conversion rate US to CDN, does any one know if they can be bought in Canada?

    Where to buy Akrapovic slip on cans

    Just as the title says where is the most reasonable place to purchase the Akrapovic exhaust for the FZ6? Tried E Bay but with the lousy dollar it makes more sense to purchase here in Canada now, maybe Alberta and save a tax or will I get screwed because it would be posted to BC? Any or all...

    handle bar

    The Suburbans look aggresive but they are not, I find I am leaning forward approx 2'' over the stock bars which is just what I wanted to reduce helmet buffering, there is also a lot of adjustment to be had so the choice would be yours as to how much you need. Installation was a snap, everything...

    Help wanted to buy 2001 R6

    Sounds good, you can get R1s in the US for amazing prices, I have had a look but we still have to pay the tax/import duty on it coming back to Canada,(so much for free trade!!!) and now the US Dollar has clawed it's way out of the poop it's not that good a deal for us poor Canadians. What we...
