Its almost time for new tires. I got 10k miles on my set of PR4s but the front is showing its age. I have probably until the end of the riding season here which is october. I took a look and noone has PR4s in the FZ6 size. Has anyone run the PR5s yet and can tell me how they felt? I loved my PR4s.
Yamaha has released lighting parts in EU but not in the US. Can someone point me towards a trusted dealer who won't rip me off? Perhaps a web url or call them and ask about pricing on these?

I plan on running a KandN air filter, NGK iridiums, Cat delete pipe, airbox mod, Delkevic midpipe and silencers with no baffles, and a juicebox. I run 87 octane now which I notice actually gives me a little more snap than 91 octane. But Im worried with much higher flowing intake, exhaust, and...
I learned to expect the unexpected at any time and in any spot in a group. Some things you just can't help so make sure you can control it.

I just finished my 6th season as a biker all inclusive years having the FZ6.
It's been a good run with many zen moments, exhilaration and friends made.
The vibe this year was just totally different. 2 of my good riding buddies domestic situations have changed (think turning into real grownups...
Rode ~260 miles of really twisted roads this past weekend and when we stopped I noticed the front tire of the Triumph 675 had maybe used 2/3 of the tire while the back was like mine with maybe an 1/4" of chicken.
The Two FZs and the Brutale had used much more of the front tire.

So I have done a search on the site and a google search to find a answer but most answers I found were 7-10 years old.
The quick story...I have been running K&N oil filter and Rotella T6 5w-40 for almost 2500 miles. Bike is almost due for an oil change. Would it be a bad thing to run the...
Ran a PR4 on the rear on the Tiger and managed 7K miles so for the cost difference between a T30 and PR4, 111.00 and 162.00 from American Motorcycle Tire, I'm going back to the T30.
Keep in mind that I run a 150/70 ZR17 and most of you run a larger size so your milage may vary.
On a side...
I'll be heading to Pine Bluff Sunday morning and then to Leland in the late afternoon for the Slimey Crud run. We're riding from North Central WI. Should be a good 400+ mile day!
Anyone any fz6'ers going?
My crew will consist of some of my local friends:
Jon- Buell 1125R
Ricky- VFR800...
Built homemade manometer. Warm engine,set idle at 1350,shut off, install tubes. When I start back up it sucks all oil out of #4 tube within a second or so. Tried closing it down(clockwise) no help,open it up a couple turns no help, did everything in between. I can't run the bike long enough...
