    Just bought an '07 FZ6 and looking for some parts

    Just bought a 2007 FZ6. It doesn't have front or rear turn signals, so I'm thinking about stopping by CycleGear and just picking up some cheap front signals and a fender eliminator kit that includes rear signals. Would they have these parts that would fit the FZ6? Also looking for a belly...

    Tire Valve Concern

    Hello hello! I'm concerned that my rear tire valve is not ok, even though the mechanic has assured me it is. Story here is that my rear tire was leaking, and neither I nor the mechanic (Lane's Yamaha, who I've always regarded highly) could find the leak. Very slow leak, like 1psi every...

    The last person in the world to finally do an R6 fork swap...

    Hi all, I bought the R6 forks and brakes from Tom here on the forum. They came with R6 calipers, axle and shims. The forks were just rebuilt with new seals and had 1kg springs installed, which are perfect for my fat self (220lbs). I then spent over a month drooling over the parts because...

    Ebay bar risers :thumbs up:

    I'm 5 7' and have to lean slightly forward to reach the bars. It's never put an ache in my back but after seeing everyone compliment the comfort after installing risers I decided to try a pair. At around 30 bucks I didn't have much to lose. The risers I purchased are 30mm up/20mm back. I'm...

    I am toying with the idea of changing the rear sprocket

    Goals are simple. A bit of extra umph in the lower RPMS, not a wheelie machine (not yet at least :D. I do not ride on the highway and rarely go over 80 mph. Thankfully this bike gets out of first around 55mph, but even then I find myself climbing up those RPMs to get that power on the street...

    Uber Maintenance

    Yesterday was a boat load of maintenance on the front of the FZ6. Having recently acquired the bike and having looked it over it was going to need some maintenance and upgrades to get it to my spec. For some reason the person that serviced the front brakes thought that if a little grease on...

The turn signals on the right side work both front and back but the left side nothing front and back but the front left one lights up when I start the bike. running lights work...

    R6 vs FZ6 S2 other models front calipers

    Hello, I'm left with an extra set of 03-05 R6 brake calipers which I will sell locally. There are many bikes, such as the FZ6 S2 (the S1 has different mounting holes), early R1, R6, Road star, etc- pretty much everything that is Yamaha, axial, and has the two painted spline circles have (at...

    How not to get a tow!

    A lot of strange technique here. Got his front pulled out from under himself. Maybe the rider is in an altered state? https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=fxDy_1546882752

    Squeaky/whistle-like sound at highway speeds?

    Noticed a weird squeaky, siren-like sound at highway speeds near the front of the bike. Thought it was the front bearing so had the replace and still hear it. Any ideas?

    Replace both tires at once or 2 fronts to 1 rear?

    I am around 13K miles on my PR4s on my 05 FZ6. Rear looks pretty solid based on wear indicators but I can probably could get a few more K from the front but I think my front bearing needs replacement (started hearing squeak sounds) so debating just doing the front (PR4s are out of stock...

    latest project - '87 FZR1000

    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...
