    Has anyone run on PR5s

    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.

    Trusted Yamaha service parts EU

    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? Short video in operation. Winkers w/DRL Front: PN# YME-FLB2F-00-00 https://youtu.be/tcJ8rI-mPk4...

    Opinions needed. Should I run 91 octane in my S2 FZ6 after I install performance mods?

    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...

    What Did i learn last night?

    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. Hit and run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPjJzrGJjwk

    The thrill is gone

    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...

    Front Chicken of Street 675 vs FZ and Brutale

    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. Point: is the...

    Oil filter life question

    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...

    Michelin PR4 on my Tiger

    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...
