    My name is Mack. I just got a naked version 2010 FZ6 S2 from a friend in the U.K. I'm not really into bikes when I was younger and just learned to ride 3 years ago. There are a lot of things that I still don't know so please bear with me. I hope we can all get along. Thanks!

    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

    Thoughts on converting 05FZ6 to dedicated track bike?

    I don't have a lot of track experience (1 CS course) but interested in converting my current 05 FZ6 commuter into a dedicated track bike. I heard it is better to start on a 300 for a track bike and it's a lot cheaper (tires go through faster?) Curious what everyone's thoughts are

    Getting used to the throttle on the FZ6

    Hi Everyone, new FZ6 owner here. Came from four (yes 4) years on a Ninja 250. I still love that bike, has a lot to offer other than power. I picked up a 2009 FZ6 with 4k miles on it in near mint condition. Love this bike as well and holy moly it has a lot of power. One thing that is taking...

    Girls Weekend

    I did it! I got away with a lady rider friend for the weekend. We left Reno early Saturday morning (7:30am) and headed North into California. We took Highway 70 to Quincy. We saw some smoke from a fire near there, but not bad. Then we took highway 89 to Lake Almanor. It had a lot of...

    How many miles are on your FZ6?

    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?

    Fz6 puig racing screen with mra-xcreen touring, it fits!

    Hi all, still did not get a chance to test drive, but I am happy that it fits. I'll post some picks later and a review on how it performs next week. Hopefully it will get rid of the turbulence and provide some calm winds. I do a lot of highway driving and it becomes very tiresome trying to keep...

    FZ6 converting from 78hp to 98

    Hello, I know this topic has been discussed a lot of times however there are so many different answers that I think it is reasonable to make a new one to be sure. I would like to convert my limited 2006 Yamaha Fz6 from 78hp to 98hp. I've seen a lot of posts saying that grind limiter on...

    Never Ever Have I Been Told Not To

    Park in a parking stall! That's right, casino security approached me instructing me that I had to park my motorcycle in motorcycle parking. I'm all for it, but considering the casino lot was nearly empty on a Sunday morning, and motorcycle parking was located at the very end of the parking...

    Cylinder #3 is all normal?

    Evening all Did some bits to the bike today and to finish I decided to balance the throttle bodies After doing it and having them all pretty close at idle the bike does seem smoother to ride and a lot of the vibration I had before has gone so seems to be running right but have a couple of...

    Finally registered! Just bought 2008 FZ6

    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...

    Received my Motors Certificate

    I may not be a cop, but I can sure ride like one. The local Sheriff's Motors Unit offered an advanced Motor's class to us civilians. One day, 8 hours, mostly riding around a bunch of cones. The same patterns and dimensions that the officers must get certified in order for them to ride...

    Cracked Frames?

    My cousin is selling a 2005 FZ6 and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, after doing some research, it looks like they are prone to frame cracks. How common is this problem? Where should I be looking to see if the frame is cracked? I like the bike a lot but the thought of a cracked frame is pretty...

    Looking for comfort

    Hey everyone, happy spring! So I have had the bike for a while and love how I fit on it. But now I got a new girl in my life who loves going for rides. I notice that for me to sit up decently straight I am pretty much humping the tank (leaving a lot of the seat behind me open). So when I have...

    Cooling system

    So to start with every time I ride I hover between 160 and 185 and I know my fan works when I get over 212. Now the problem is, normally I pull into work and the bike warms up to 190 heading across the parking lot, but once a week or so i turn it off and it jumps to 226 and the fan runs. It...

    Upgrading to FZ1 but a couple of questions first

    O.k. I know this is an FZ6 forum but you guys are so damn smart and have helped me out a lot in the past I thought I would ask you first before I posted on your sister site. Besides I know a lot of you have also upgraded to the FZ1. As it states in the title I am going to sell my FZ6 and will...

Just wanted to say thanks to all here who's posts I have enjoyed over the last few years and have learned a heck of a lot from. Your guidance has been key. I'll be checking in...
