    After 17 years, bought a new car

    With snow threatening, I wonder if @VEGASRIDER will have any new snow-pics to share (!!)

    Seriously Considering FZ

    I have an '05 and it functions exactly like that for me. I've done some light-touring with it (east-coast to Canada, Tale of the Dragon, etc), I do indeed have Givi side-bags and topbox/monokey (bike came with topbox, I bought bags on CL). I don't love the bracket on there for when I'm not...

    Exhaust back preasure

    Dear Lord.... my car right now (3rd party exhaust - drone, loudness, it's God-awful). I now hate my car.

    calculating electrical load

    Quiet here, so I'll throw this one out. A few weeks ago I was sorting the ('05) FZ6 for winter riding. Minor stuff, but it included stringing a new wire from the battery to support my new warm n safe controller (I have an older heated vest - controller is new tho'), and that got me to...

    OGIO Bag Mount - Photo Needed

    Well, they were mounted on my bike when I bought it. Let me see if I can find any old/decent pictures of them (I don't think I kept them on long). Back in a bit. (a bit later) I can't tell/don't remember if this assumed you the givi top box mount bracket or not. I do know I removed them...

    OGIO Bag Mount - Photo Needed

    Sorry @Gary in NJ - I found the old thread. They were not Ogios.... https://www.600riders.com/threads/free-ortlieb-soft-saddlebags.56675/

    OGIO Bag Mount - Photo Needed

    Not me personally. BUT - maybe @agf back when he had his FZ? I bought FZ, a few years back - it had some soft bags (and maybe bracket?) that I shipped to him... but honestly I dont' remember exactly what it was. But it _might_ have been something like this. @agf still there and listening...

    Question Split lanes with bags

    Got it. Sorry for not understanding. Yeah, mine _do_ stick out more/further than my legs. I'm honestly not certain when if ever there was a _need_ to lane split when on longer road trips. Maybe in more populous areas... good luck

    Question Split lanes with bags

    FWIW - I don't lane split (illegal in my state), and only have 'bags' on for longer road trips, so that's sparingly - bottom line, not sure I'm the best to definitively answer this. Here is my 2 cents - if I recall, the Givi side bags were not the issue for me (as their weight is kept low) -...

    Chain tension too much at certain point?

    Right - I've seen/have this illustration. And perhaps I'm being pedantic, but I wasn't sure what exactly to infer from this drawing. Personally I would interpret this as 45-55mm from the _top_ of chain at the upper measurement to _bottom_ of chain at the lower measurement. Being unsure, I was...

    Chain tension too much at certain point?

    While we are here - 50MM measuring from where? Middle of chain when at its' highest and lowest points? Or _include_ the chain, so upper-of-chain at top and lower-of-chain at bottom?

    ~~~ What did you do to your Bike Today Thread??? ~~~

    Soo.... with temperatures dropping, figured it was time to install the new wire (to battery) for the replacement controller (Warm n Safe) for my heated vest. Always a PITA to get the plastics out, etc, so "while I'm in there...." - new wire to battery installed (yes, it has a fuse) -...

    Happy 8-year Anniversary

    On this day - October 9, 2015 - I officially purchased and brought my FZ6 home. First bike I've owned since forever (teenager)! Bought it sight-unseen (my older brother drove an hour to check it out for me), bought it before ever riding on one, or sitting on one, or even seeing one in person -...

    Gary, you are going to need a bigger garage in about 3 years, is my prediction....

    2012 Yamaha fz6r high idle

    So first, this site/forum is dedicated to the FZ6 - your FZ6R is a totally different bike. Having said that, it is a friendly and very knowledgeable bunch (me not so much - on the knowledgeable side). When you say "it's not the cable there is slack" - are you referring to your throttle cable...

    Information Well that was pointless...

    Plus One on this... I have it, I believe it has helped and not an expensive 'fix'/tweak.

    Rear sprocket - plus 2 teeth

    maybe it's just me but without any periods to demarcate the different sentences, I just see... one massive run-on sentence. (shrug)

    Replacement Ignition switch re-key?

    @TownsendsFJR1300 was making/selling them for a bit - I have one, still use it. He provided instructions to re-key to your ignition key. Dunno about any others, but that would be my guess

    Snapped Exhaust Stud....now what?

    machine shop is probably best. But if you insist on doing yourself, I would (personally) do something like: - centering drill bits to make a hole in the center of the remaining bolt - https://www.amazon.com/self-centering-drill-bit/s?k=self+centering+drill+bit - then take a torx bit, slightly...
