    Thoughts on the FZ-09

    Sorry if this is the wrong section to post...but what do you think of Yamaha's new three cylinder? I'm very curious, I've got a Triumph and I love the i-3. Where do you think they'll go from here? I like the shorty exhaust that comes standard too, I like the simplistic look of it. I think...

    Help! Headlight won't turn on

    Original problem - headlights, turn signals (indicators, flashers, etc) stopped working while I was riding last weekend. I replaced/swapped out the fuses trying to figure out what went where, and the one that is separate from the rest (labeled 'tail') was burned out. I replaced it, and the...

    Streetfighter - what to do with old fairing?

    I'm wrapping up my other streetfighter project (an ex500), and thinking about my fz. What do you guys do with your old headlight/front fairing assembly? Is there much demand for parting it out/selling the whole assembly? I looked around the for sale section and ebay, and didn't see much...

    2006 FZ6 BLUE (fastest color)

    Here's what I posted on Craigslist, I'd take as little as 2900 from a forum member (provided you came and got it). For sale is my 2006 Yamaha FZ6. It's got 18xxx miles (my daily commuter, so mileage will go up). R titled, previous owner did a stoppie and fell over. Luckily, he had frame...

    Hey guys, I'm going on a trip this weekend and wanted to carry some tools in the underseat compartment. I don't think it gets TOO hot under there, but does anyone have any experience with container to put down there? I was thinking a tupperware type thing, or maybe just zip tying a plastic bag...

    Luggage

    What sort of saddle/tail bags do you guys use? I would like to be able to store my sneakers, rain gear, and maybe a six pack (for when I'm done riding, of course). I also don't want to hurt my wallet too badly. I've seen the ones that "fit any sport bike!", but I don't often believe the one...

    Noob track days?

    Hey guys, not sure if this is the right sub to post in, but here goes. I'm a novice rider (a little over a year riding, about 3k miles), and want to get better. I've read that going to track days is probably the best way to do this. My question is, what does one need to do to get ready for a...

    Sport vs. Sport touring?

    I recently bought a 2006 FZ6, and am going to need new tires soon. The rear is squaring out, the front looks decent, but I'd rather not mix tires. My question is whether or not to get sport tires or sport touring. I will probably be riding 2 up 1/3 of the time with ~130lb passenger. The rest...

    Rain Gear

    Hey guys, first post here. I've been riding for a little over a year now, just got an FZ6 this week. I've been looking into rain gear since I have a 45 minute (at the speed limit) commute to work, and in NW PA it can rain any time it pleases. So my question is, what rain gear seems to work...
