Hi there, Newish rider (1 year, 10k miles) with a 05 FZ6 as my first bike. I remember reading early on when I was first deciding about getting this bike as my first bike about something keeping it under 7-8K otherwise she gets crazy. It's been a year and I feel comfortable with the bike...

Hey all, I am a new rider and just purchased a 2008 all black FZ6 as my first bike. It was kept in immaculate condition by the PO and I got it for a steal. Pics are in my profile and you should be able to see it in my pro-pic / avatar. At any rate, I am posting to ask what mods / gear /...

I`ve come full circle. Had an FZ6-S as my first step up bike, 4 years ago. Sold it and regretted it ever since. My road registered bike is now a K1 GSX-R 1000.. uncomfortable as ****, but crazy awesome power. 6 months ago I purchased a race ready, 2006 FZ6-N, Ex - Yamaha cup, minus the pimp...

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...

I finally lost to one of our motor units in the annual slow bike race. I played by the motor units rule, NO BRAKES, clutch only. A little suspicious that he decided to activate his emergency lights that has a ton of LED's and strobe lights on the rear of the bike once we start rolling and sees...

I have been troubleshooting a fuel delivery isssue on my 2005 fz6 for a couple of weeks now and have narrowed it down to an electrical issue. I tested the injectors individually out of the bike and they all operate fine, but they aren't opening when I try starting the bike. I checked the fuses...

So with the recent tropical storm Jose, I was notified by my apartment complex's maintenance guy (also a rider), that the wind had knocked my bike over not once, but twice (he picked it up once). When I got home that evening, there was a large puddle of oil next to the bike and oil spread all...

Hello everyone. I'm a former FZ6 owner and current Ducati Monster owner. I'm thinking of getting a second bike as a sporty light tourer/commuter with storage and I'd like to hear your input. This is my next motorcycle short list: '09 FZ6 - I've owned and crashed one of these before and I...

2006 FZ6 w/~18k miles Background: I have very little experience working with motorcycles, but have been a backyard auto-mechanic most of my life and am comfortable working on engines. This bike sat for almost a year and even though I'd drained and replaced the fuel she still wasn't running...

Hello all, I don't have my bike anymore but I still have the exhaust. It looks fantastic vs stock and sounds sooo much better. I ended up buying P1X tips to lower the noise volume for early morning getaways this fall but never installed them before I sold the bike. $400 USD for the exhaust plus...

First off, glad to be apart of the forums hopefully I can find some much needed help here. I've purchased this 2004 FZ6 earlier this year as my first bike. Its been an amazing experience so far. This bike was posted for $2200 with 22k miles on it. Ended up paying around $1700 for it so i felt it...

Nobody here will remember but 5 years ago I took my FZ from Toronto to Sarasota. That was quite ordeal since I managed to do it on weekend when they measured highest temperatures ever recorded in Eastern part of USA. So this time going back I was not to repeat past mistakes. What happened is...

I cannot seem to find fairings anywhere. Any help would be helpful. I have a 2006 fz6 Any color would work I have paint for the bike

I've owned an FZ6 for a few years now (it might be 4 years?). I bought it from a friend of my son to help him out. I've done some mods to it such as RaceTech Emulators in the forks, a Two Bros exhaust and a gel seat. But of the four bikes I own, this bike gets ridden very little - maybe 200...
