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...

I have a question for MSF coaches. (You OH guys are all former MSF now, right Blah) What newer program bikes do you see on your ranges? At PKB in West Virginia we have mostly Honda Nighthawks with a few Rebels, two CRF230's, Suzuki GV's and a single Yamaha Star 250. Good bikes but they're...

Long(er) story short, last Sunday was an interesting day for me. 1) I bought a new winter project - a 1990 Yamaha FZR600. It is not running, and the condition is kinda' unknown. It was very cheap ($300), has 57k miles, and comes with a 2nd-engine and a bunch of unopened OEM/Yamaha parts...

The https://m-h-c.ca/ couple are upgrading to adventure-touring bikes, which means their trusty and well-maintained road bikes are now up for sale! STATS: One Royal Red 2006 Yamaha FZ-6. One owner, excellent condition: 60,575 Kms (mostly touring Kms). Michelin Pilot 5 Road tires (2019). One...

Hi guys could you help me figure out which bikes require the least amount of major maintencae, such as valve adjustsments? The Fz6 was my favorite bike I wanted but the fact that it required the valves to be check roughly every 25k miles definetly help me not look at Aprilia and Ducati. I was...

Getting ready for spring 2019, I ordered a handfull of goodies. New Yamaha 5gh oil filter, air filter, going to pickup a battery just because. I've got a few extra bucks and would like to replace the stock rubber brake lines. I did it on my other bikes and love the difference. However this bike...

Aloha from the frigid coast of Hawaii Island ! So, I'm a bike guy. Ive owned over a hundred motorcycles and have been riding for 40 years this coming Christmas. I've worked in the motorcycle industry as a parts distributor and at the OEM level doing new product development. I've ridden a few...

$150 shipped. 19,XXX miles. Great condition. Comes with all 3 rubber bushings and mounting screws. Great upgrade for S1 bikes, especially when going naked. If going naked, you'll want to buy one of these depending on your headlight setup (or if you have a fly screen or not). Also, if you have...

Bought this during the summer. Definitely a fixer-upper, but it ran/was rideable. Due to some unexpected circumstances, I ended up with 3 bikes... my neighbor gave me an '82 XJ750 Maxim project to fix up (non-running). That took awhile, but got it running and addressed some issues, sold via...

Good condition top bar clamp that fits both S1 and S2 bikes, really nice upgrade for S1 bikes. A few light scratches but overall good condition. Comes with the 4 required OEM Yamaha stainless bolts. $35 shipped

Found these cheap throttle body balancing gauges, question is to buy or not and try to use them? Anyone know if they might work on our bikes? I don't want to pay 15 times a much for something ill only use once and may even need no adjustment at all...

Hello everyone, Im new to the forum from Toronto Ontario! Im currently riding a Kawasaki ex500 but am looking at getting an FZ6 and hope you all could share some of your knowledge about these amazing machines. Im going to go look at a 2006 model with 5000kms on it. Is there anything in...

I just recently acquired my FZ6 with 8k miles and plan on putting a lot more in time hopefully. I am curious to hear your guys mileage on your bikes. What would you say are a lot of miles for that motor?

Hi Everyone, My name is Nick and once again after a very long time I became a proud owner of a 2008 black Yamaha FZ6. Looking forwards to making new friends, having chats, group rides and exchanging info and ideas about our bikes with everyone. feel free to message. I'd be glad to help out in...

Per title, for US bikes only. You should be able to verify any recalls. Like the S1 Throttle Position Sensor (TPS recall) USA Yamaha recall information (Enter VIN)

I am a member on numerous motorcycle forums. I think forums are a great resource to get a barometer reading on the info you are seeking. I have owned about 45 different motorcycles and scooters . In my earlier years of motorcycling, I was a mileage junky. I used to ride a lot and loved long...

I was thinking of an un-offical poll type of thing. My FZ6 more than satisfies my need for the twisties and getting my knee down, but thats just not enough. I have a lady in my life who wants to get on the back, however I have to say the FZ6 is not a particularly comfortable pew for a long...

Well Facebook gave me a reminder this morning that I'm going to the Assen TT tomorrow, as if I'd forget :rolleyes: Looking forward to it, I went with the kids last year (kids under 15 are free on the grass banks) but unfortunately they both have some pretty heavy end of school year exams this...

OK so here's my story. My current lineup of bikes is a 2007 GSXR1000, 14 KTM RC8r 1190, & a Honda CRF250L. I was/am totally happy with that lineup and was not interested at all in (well I'm always interested in adding bikes to the garage but...you know) adding any bikes to my garage...until my...

I've been coming here ever since I bought my '07 FZ6 new nine years ago. Although I never posted much I always tuned in to see what was happening and get the latest info on the bike and it's riders. I can honestly say that the FZ has performed flawlessly over the years. It rates up there as one...
