neighbor guy wanted to see my bike. long story short, I only got my 2006 FZ6 out of storage a week ago. Put the battery in (3 years old & on a tender this winter) started it up, rode 7 miles after prep/lube,etc., parked in garage. started up 2 days ago for about 5 minutes. everything...

Hurts me to say it, but I may have to sell the FZ6. The spose wants a different bike she will ride on and the 6 isn't it, even thought this is my "just me" bike. Gasp ! I'm still trying to negotiate but....

What's the best way/ location on the bike to tie down/hook my staps to on my FZ6 when on a trailer ? directions ? any pictures. I just want to be sure I'm doing it without damageing anything and keeping it secure. I did a search, but maybe I phased it wrong.

I was looking at the bikes a few days ago, sunny and warm, dreaming about getting to ride...Now this ! (our second 3 day, so far, storm!)

Does ayone know the best way to touch up the tank after a chip of paint came off (rock from truck-no dent !) I have a red '06 FZ6. Where can I get the necessary paint and what should I do or how to I prepare / fix this ? It's about 1/8 inch in diameter.

I lost a almost new front tire to a nail just before winter. Yet to replace it. I was going to replace identical. Thinking I might like the M. Pilot Road 2 tire as a replacement over stock. How would this affect handling with the rear different than the PR 2 ? The tread seems similiar...

Does anyone have or has looked at the Harper stealth 3100 saddlebags and your input on them for the FZ6 please. Does the Cortech sport bags need a saddlebag support ? My Thanks to anyone who can respond with information on this.

Sorry I posted in the "Garage" section, Didn't see this topic. Need help. I know little about tires. I quess my main question is mixing a different front tire than whats on the reas. I punctured a front tire today and have the orginal dunlops 252 D 170 70 17 R's (front size) Local dealer does...

Does anyone have or seen the chase harper stealth 3100 series saddlebag and what is your opinion ? Anyone have or can find the yamaha ones ? Seems cortech are favorites. Next most popular ? I have an "06 Don't want a huge saddlebag, but would like to stuff a MC jaclet in one.

I just attempted to take my "06 out of winter storage. I put the battery back in. The instrument panel lights, etc all turn on. The bike goes thu it's cycle up whine when I turn the key on, clock starts, leds all show up for fuel, miles, numbers, etc, but....It just makes a buzzing noise when I...

There is a fuel hose under the tank that limits moving the tank backwards or up. how do you move the tank to get to the battery. I did so, but it was not easy. Perhaps I did something wrong ? Second question. Are there any ways to attach leads so I can charge the battery without removing the...

Boy, this will seem dumb but....I'm having some small difficulty taking off the side panels in order to lift the tank. How does the clip under the rubber molding around the mirror detach from the panel ? I'm having a heck of a time with this specific attachment ? I can't see that area very well...

Sounds dumb, but I have little experience with chain driven bikes. After reading various posts here, it "seems" like dupont teflon wax or something like it may be a good product to use ?...but....how best to apply, exactely where on the chain and how often ? :don'tknow:

My speedometer is off about 5 mph and I'm wondering if there is a relatively cheap fix for this that others have found ? Not that big a deal, my Goldwing is the same, but... sorta a pet peave. Wouldn't ya know, the bikes I've choosen to keep all seem to have this problem, except one. Others...

Hi folks. Just had my first 600 mile service done. Seems like I now have a slight vibration that I notice in the hand grips and the foot pegs as well that was not present prior. It seems I can "almost" feel it in the tank as well. Anyone else experience this or have some thoughts on this ...

A little help please. What is the belly pan I hear about, where can I find one, anyone with pics ? Second question. Does anyone know if the break-a-way cruise control works on the 06 FZ6 and does anyone use it ? pics ? I see lots of throttlemiester and vista cruise comments. Thanks for...

hi folks' Has anyone compared the Puig Double bubble race screen vs the calsci + 9 windshield ? Pro's and cons ? What do you like and dislike. Clearly (for me) the Puig "looks" better, but what about performance ? Thoughts ????:confused: Thanks for any input !

I would like to reduce the vibration on the grips as my throttle hand goes numb rather quickly. Question (s): Will grip puppies work with throttlemeister cruise control ? (thinking about getting this cruise control-thoughts on this or other crusie controls ?) Does the heavy Throttlemister...
