    engine cuts out

    So, what would cause the engine to completely cut out when riding? Riding on interstate at about 80 and the engine just died like fuel was either cut off, or the ignition turned off. Power was fine till then, and it came back. I wasnt able to replicate it. So I am not sure what check out. Any...

    Great to be back in the fz6 pack!

    I can’t tell you all how great it is to have my butt back on the seat of an fz! I sold my 2007 quite some time ago, and experienced immediate sellers remorse as the happy new owner rode it away. At that moment I would have gladly given him $200 more than he paid to get it back! It took years...

    Let the Modding Begin!

    It's that time of year where some have the bike stored and will do the mods while the riding season is less than optimal. Here are some ideas to give inspiration and at least put a smile on your face. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc

    Upside down handle bars or sport bars FZ6

    Hey guys! I was wondering if there was a way to have a spotier riding position on the FZ6 faired. Some guy on youtube said it's possible to flip the stock handles upside down to give that R1 feel, but that the handlebars would touch the fairings. Is there a fix to that, or any other solution...

    It's Been A Long Time

    Hello to my FZ-6 Family, Man, it's been awhile since I've been on this Forum. I've been slipping, well, finally the weather is about the change and riding will once again be at the forefront. Each year I tell myself I'm going to ride more and I always miss that mark. How many of you feel...

    Riding above ~7K

    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...

    Bike warm-up acting strange

    2005 S1, 50,000 miles Observation - For a few months now, bike seems to take longer to warm up. Recently, if ridden as soon as the tach stops blinking, it will start blinking again in a few minutes of riding. After that it goes solid and stays there. Also recently, once warm up is done and...

    Going Naked

    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...

    A rider waiting for an accident

    I had an encounter with a rider on what looked like an older Suzuki Bandit today. Have you ever seen a rider just doing everything wrong? This guy was riding in the far right of the lane, myopically riding half a car length behind the vehicles in front. Every time he got a clear space...

    Rebuild Kits

    Anyone use this front caliper rebuild kit? I don't have an issue paying more for something better, but to piece together an OEM kit seems to be way too much. These look like they should be high quality. 2007 - 2009 YAMAHA FZ6 FZ 6 - FRONT BRAKE CALIPER NEW SEAL KIT Thanks, Happy Riding
