thing

I picked up an 05 FZ6 for $700 with no front fairings and a crap ton of zip ties holding the headlight. Runs, shifts into all gears, needs a few things here and there, but overall not too bad. My goal is to keep the cost down on this project and daily this thing for a while. With that being said...

Does browningbuck still sell batteries? I sent $160 to him and have not heard a thing.

Hey guys, I am the lucky owner of a new (old) FZ6 S2 and it has been a blast for the last few days. I have had a few surprises though and because I am not familiar with this bike it feels a bit awkward for me. The FZ6 I have feels very different from what I rode in the past. When I turn at...

I'm attempting to replace my battery, and I cannot, for the life of me, get the + terminal screw unscrewed. The damn thing just spins. I've used a screwdriver, ratchet, 10 mm crescent wrench, even, pliers and it just spins. No matter which direction I turn and for how long, the whole thing spins...

Hello everyone, I just recently brought a 2007 Yamaha fz6 from a coworker and it needed a few parts. I started to search about doing research on parts prices and etc, but there was one thing that stumped me and it was the difference between a S1 and S2. I couldn't really find out what it meant...

Hey everyone, So today while changing the plugs on my bike I noticed a dent in the gas tank. its in an awful spot (right where the lines of the top and of the side of the tank meet each other). I really want to get the damn thing out but I don't think it will pop. I'm going to post pictures...

Have all the parts I pulled off of my fz6 when I went naked..gonna sell as a lot. 100$ for the whole thing

This has been on my Bucket List for a long time. Going to try to get to it this year. I will be on my XR250R. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, skip to the 20 minute mark. https://youtu.be/FSHZSM9PrFc

On my way out of work, on the nicely repaved asphalt skating rink, I lost it at 5mph. The parking lot was a bit wet after an unexpected lake effect shower. I was going to make a turn and the next thing I know I was on the ground watching my bike side away from me. Im ok, but my pride took a...

Prolly the coolest thing I've watched/read this year: WATCH: World War II Vets Start Dance Party at Airport | Fox News Insider :thumbup:

Victory Motorcycles is coming out with an all electric bike, end of this year. Only $20K! I've always liked the workmanship on Victories, only thing bad I've heard about them is their gearboxes aren't very smooth. Surprisingly, this thing has a six-speed gearbox! Electric cars that I know of...

Tonight as i was getting on the bike my zipper hit the gas tank. Now I have a tiny white paint chip on my nice black bike. The only chip or scratch on the entire thing! Anyone have any suggestions to fix it? Im going to go to the dealership tomorrow and see if they have any touchup pens or can...

On Saturday's ride I ran out of gas in Pocono's mountains of PA. Just forgot to fill up beforehand and didn't pay enough attention on a dashboard. The good thing is that the bike stopped just near some garage in the woods down the road, with dirt bikes and a quad, where a guy gave me about half...

Cutting to the chase.... I am being cheap! Just bought a new DID 530 chain/sprocket set to install before the 2015 riding season. I realized that I needed a tool to rivet the new chain, but I was pissed to see that a good price for a tool that I will likely need once will cost me over 50% of...

Bike was covered in dust due to sitting untouched in the PO garage for 1 to 2 years. It would not start no matter what we did...being as dumb as I am took a gamble and gave the owner an offer. He accepted and at this point I had bought my first motorcycle and it didn't run. :spank: I bought a...

Didn't get to ride too much today, since I was meeting a friend (a fellow rider coach from NJ who got to escape the cold!).. he got there late, which left us with slim pickings. Still had a good time though. VMAX: (stock photo) Yes, it's got lots and lots of torque and power. For me...

Hi guys I'm looking to sell my bike - I've never had so much as a boot scuff on the thing since I've had it. Today I spent ages washing it, but as I was wheeling it back into the garden I dropped the damn thing!! It landed on a plant pot (weird I know) and the only part that's cracked is...

Finally got the exhaust ordered. This exhaust requires cutting the existing exhaust, but videos show to be very easy to remove. A sawsall and grinder should make it work. Shows a 5 hp increase w/ a 10lbs weight savings. That's all I care about. It's rather pricey being 380$ albeit a great...

So to make the off-season more exciting, I purchased a Shoei Rf-1200 to replace my old (and too-large) HJC RPS-10. I am getting ready to mount my Sena SMH10 (not the R) and the most obvious thing is the I want to make sure that don't underestimate the lower rim of the Shoei is scalloped unlike...

How cold have you ridden? So after 2 weeks of not riding due to cold, rain, ice and snow I decided to suck it up this Friday morning and ride the bike into work. As I wheeled the FZ6 out of my garage across the frosted grass my bike gauge temp registered 20F! I wasn't so sure this was...
