Its almost time for new tires. I got 10k miles on my set of PR4s but the front is showing its age. I have probably until the end of the riding season here which is october. I took a look and noone has PR4s in the FZ6 size. Has anyone run the PR5s yet and can tell me how they felt? I loved my PR4s.

Hey everyone. I had a humpty dumpty moment with my bike today. Loading it into the truck bed, had a slip and toppled over to right side. It damaged a lot to the naked eye, and I am going to do a full tear down to see if there is any hidden damage. Its a 2008. So far I know I will need these...

Hi All, So I've had my FZ6 for close to 3 years now. One thing I have still been unable to do is shift smoothly with a passenger on back. Especially going from 1st-2nd I just expect a wack in the back of the head. I know that the clutch grab point on these bikes is in a terrible spot, but when...

Not sure if this is the correct spot to post this but anyway here we go. On top of my FZ6 I also have a 1982 Yamaha Seca 550. Practically the older brother to the FZ6. Well this Seca is about to undergo a cafe transformation in the next few months and one of the items on the list of things to...

Hello Everyone, After my recent track day I want to go back. Bad. But... my FZ6 is my workhorse, I go touring on it, commuting, pleasure rides. I do NOT want to hurt it. So.... Track bike is needed. I'm not ready to dump money just yet, but I started looking. 07-09 FZ6. I am on an 08...

I just moved from New York to Greenville South Carolina. Looking to see if any fellow FZ6 riders are in this area.

Hi all. Yesterday the gate closed on my bike and I when the wind decided to whip it shut. The bike and I survived minus the left side mirror. Anyone got one for sale? I need it for a 2008 FZ6. My zip code is 11710. Thanks!

On Saturday I did my first track day at New York Safety Track. It was an amazing experience and I highly suggest it if you live in the Northeast. Friday I took the ride up from Long Island to Albany where my friend lives. I had the FZ6 in full touring mode. I had custom built hardcases, a tail...

A friend and I are planning to throw the bikes in the back of one of our pickups and drive down to the Smokey Mountains in a little over a month. Right now we have planned to do the Tail of the Dragon/ Cherohala Skyway Loop and The Blue Ridge Parkway Loop. We have one more free day to fill...

Hello Friends, I just wanted to send out a quick reminder to everyone for whenever they are working on something important. DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY OTHERS. I was diligently working on my valve adjustment (only needed to do 1 exhaust valve thankfully) while having two different people text me at...

For this years winter (if it ever shows up) I got a set of Bikemaster Heated Grips. I quickly threw them onto the bike yesterday and just hooked them directly onto the battery to test them. Now I want to integrate the grips with the bike so that they shut completely off when the bike is off. I...

Hey everyone, my buddy has a 1982 Yamaha Seca 550. He missed a shift recently and over revved the engine. Piston rings are fried. So we plan on replacing the rings, and a good old honing to clean up the cylinders. The problem is he is going to spend about $130 just for 4 sets of rings. Turns out...

Anyone use this front caliper rebuild kit? I don't have an issue paying more for something better, but to piece together an OEM kit seems to be way too much. These look like they should be high quality. 2007 - 2009 YAMAHA FZ6 FZ 6 - FRONT BRAKE CALIPER NEW SEAL KIT Thanks, Happy Riding

Hello everyone, So over the past 2 days when starting my bike and riding for the first 5-10 minutes there is a new noise that has come up. Its hard to describe but it sounds like a low whining noise. I know its not the fuel pump because I can hear that sucker clear as day. It sounds to me like...

Hey everyone, So today while changing the plugs on my bike I noticed a dent in the gas tank. its in an awful spot (right where the lines of the top and of the side of the tank meet each other). I really want to get the damn thing out but I don't think it will pop. I'm going to post pictures...

Hey everyone, happy spring! So I have had the bike for a while and love how I fit on it. But now I got a new girl in my life who loves going for rides. I notice that for me to sit up decently straight I am pretty much humping the tank (leaving a lot of the seat behind me open). So when I have...

Hey everyone, This is a question that I feel like I know the answer to but maybe someone has a better answer. I need to drain the gas out of my tank. Where is the easiest point to disconnect? As of now I'm looking at the bottom of the tank thinking that is it.

Hey everyone, so during this winter I have decided that I would like to pick up a throttle lock. My wrist isn't what it used to be so having a few seconds to relax it at 70 mph would be great. Any suggestions on which to go for? I see some for $20 and then all the way up to $150. I'm guessing...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a stock 2008 windshield. Either clear or smoked. Please let me know if you got one. Thanks

Hello, I have a 2008 FZ6 in blue that recently suffered a fall. I need a fairing, left side mirror, left side headlight mole, left side cover, left side stator cover, clutch lever. Please PM me or post on here if you have any of these items. I'm trying to put humpty dumpty back together again...
