Hey guys, so my chain broke while I was riding. I have an 09 fz6r, and when I started taking it apart to replace the chain and sprocket, I noticed there was more damage to the bike then I was hoping. I'm not sure exactly what it is that's broken, so I was hoping someone can tell me what it's...
Hey all,
Here in the south sound of WA, I am parting out my 06 FZ6. Tried swapping 07 engine in, doesn't match. Given up and gonna part her out. I have the original engine in pieces. Had 60k miles on it. 07 engine has less than 20k miles. XChain has maybe 2k miles on it. Tank has small dent...
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...
I thought I would try here first if anyone in the Tampa area is looking for a FZ6:
08 Yamaha FZ6 -- $1,700 FIRM -- 600cc, 120k miles, original owner, Title in hand, Add ons: Frame Sliders, K&N Air Filter, New YUASA battery, AS IS. Also included is a Haynes manual and the original rear...
After I sold my FZ6 and bought a 08 FZ1 I was wanting to own a V Twin (no hardley ablesons for me) that would suite my need for speed and handling plus the suspension for the bumpy back roads of Northern California. In 2012 I traded the FZ1 in on a new left over 2010 KTM 990 Supermoto. That's it...
Im a new owner of an 04 fz6, it has 42k miles on it and runs really great, it had a few minor issues, (needed new clutch, adjusted CO1 and CO2 to make it run richer bc it ran lean,) i might sync the throttle bodies when i get the money, but what kind of maintenance should i do at 42k miles, the...
Which would you guys buy?
A high milage bike that's super clean and has $1000 worth of hard luggage on it or a stock machine with low miles that I'll have to figure out a luggage solution for?
Both are 2006 fz6's for the sameish price.
Hi everyone!
Just thought I'd drop in and extend a warm thank you and perhaps goodbye to all you wonderful people who provided me with invaluable resources to maintain my motorcycle.
I tried to limp my way over the 100k mile mark, but at last, I must throw in the towel 12k miles shy of my goal...
These are the tires I just had put on my bike. Second choice was a 2CT Michellin, but I liked the sound of Made in Japan tires so I went with them. I now noticed that a lot of the reviews for them are from the ~2010 era so I'm suspecting that they are old tech. The shop wanted to offer Pirellis...
I notice the odometer switches to a F and begins counting miles but curious how many miles I actually have before I am out of gas. 05 FZ6 if the year matters.
SOLD: Givi V46 Monokey Top Case 46L
Used for several years, but in excellent shape. I always used 303 protectant on it to keep it looking new-ish. Functions as new. I moved up to Givi V56, so I no longer need this one.
$130 + actual shipping or pick up for free (can meet you within 100 miles...
I am looking to get a new set of tires, the back definitely needs replaced and the front will too here soon. I have mainly been looking at the Pirelli Angel Sport Touring tires. Has anyone had any experience with these. I am also looking for some suggestions. I'm looking to get a lot of miles...
Hi all, for people who need a frame cap I ordered and fitted 45mm plastic tube cap with great success, its only £1 free postage uk and they fit the right hand side hole nicely just need pushing in a bit and they stay there and I think look miles better than the hole and nut even though its...
Just took the MSF course a few weeks ago (first time on a motorcycle of any kind, ever at 50!), bought an 05 FZ7 one week ago, and have ridden it 10-20 miles a days learning what I am doing. I joined up here because it looks like a great resource and community.

Ok guys I'm having an issue with the bike and I was wondering if anyone had anything similar happen to them. I took the bike out Saturday and got a ways out from my house and pulled up to a stop light and it stalled out. I had no running issues till then seemed fine till the light. So I tried to...
Garage kept with no mechanical issues. Purchased used in 2015 w/ 8000 miles on the odometer. One previous owner. Regular oil changes every 3000 miles and chain maintenance every 500. Used primarily for commuting with the occasional weekend cruise in the mountains. The mileage will climb slightly...

*SOLD* For sale is my 2005 Yamaha Fz6 with approx 24,400 miles. The bike is well maintained and mechanically very sound. Has quite a few upgrades to make it handle nicer than the stock version, along with a Givi storage for longer rides. It is fully serviced for this year with brand new (just...
