    What are these (non-FZ6)?

    Long-story shorter, I purchased a 1990 Yamaha FZR600R a few months back. It's a definite fix-up project, as it's not clear was it was last running, or even started. As I understand it, the previous owner (1-owner bike, has 57k miles) is currently in an Alzheimers facility. His wife is...

    New Bike Time?

    Two bits of info. First, I didn't seek out an FZ6, it found me. I helped a friend on my son (then high-school aged) purchase his first street bike. When he went in the Navy a few years later I bought it from him because he didn't know what to do with it when they deployed him. It sat in my...

    Blown Engine Come Back

    I had posted back in April seeking help after losing power suddenly on the highway. That post was accidentally deleted. Observations among other things were badly burned spark plugs. The electrodes were just gone. It's amazing that it ran as long as it did. I suspected it was running...

    I recently bought an FZ6s1 in nice shape but with a lot of mileage on it. I'd like to have the bike a long time and came across someone selling an s2 engine with very low mileage (and also a colour I prefer :rolleyes: ) Does anyone know how much of a headache or even possibility there is...

    It’s gone, I sold my FZ6!

    Had the bike for about 13;years. With over 106k miles, I made enough memories to last me a lifetime. I just didn’t ride it enough plus the bike needed repairs so I sold it for $700. With a naked conversion kit and some work, the bike could look almost brand new in my opinion. The engine was...

    FZ6 S2 - Acceleration issue when riding in the rain

    Apologies if this isn't in the right place. I've recently been on a longer trip and I got caught in the rain a few times for long period of time. When this happened I'd have an issue with the acceleration. From around 4-4.5k rpm the bike would accelerate very slowly, so the revs would slowly go...

    Oil And types you can use

    07 charging problem?

    I'm new here, but already I have my first issue with the bike. Not how I wanted to start posting. My '07 has ~3800 miles on it, so not much use at all. I'm the third owner, the first barely broke it in, and the second rode it about 250 miles per year. It hadn't been ridden since last fall...

    Cam questions

    Has anyone been able to figure out how to identify the differences between the cams from looking at them if they are out of the bike besides having a different part #?? according to the FSM they have the same profiles which should technically make them interchangeable from either exhaust or...
