tires

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...

Bought this during the summer. Definitely a fixer-upper, but it ran/was rideable. Due to some unexpected circumstances, I ended up with 3 bikes... my neighbor gave me an '82 XJ750 Maxim project to fix up (non-running). That took awhile, but got it running and addressed some issues, sold via...

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 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...

I have a set of tires sitting at home to go on after the current ones wear out, but they're hypersport tires (Bridgestone S21). Anyone have experience with that class of tires in rainy weather? Would I be better off getting some PR4s or roadtec 01s for the wetter months of the year? I can...

*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...

Greetings! I am looking to purchase some wheels for the FZ6. Front and rear wheels. Any color is fine. It would be great if the brake discs were still attached. I want to have a set of tires for track-use only so I can have more fun at the track without burning up my regular street tires...

Just wanted to give y'all a little heads up on this deal I saw on Slickdeals.net (love that site). Title says it all. Slickdeals: https://slickdeals.net/f/10004728-dunlop-roadsmart-ii-front-and-rear-motorcycle-tires-200-w-free-shipping#commentsBox Front: Dunlop RoadSmart II Sport Touring...

Hi, So I am at the point where I need to replace my tires soon and I was wondering if I should switch. In the approx 40K miles Ive put on my two FZ6s in the last 4 years (got a 2009 to replace the 2006 back in Aug) I have been running the newest model of the Michelin Pilot Roads available. 3s...

So, my Pirelli Angels are almost worn out and I am out shopping for the next set of tires for my bike. Have run Metzeler Z8 earlier, long life but dull rides. Pirellis have been fun, less mileage though. Both tires have not had any issue with grip - dry or wet - for my riding style, although...

Few minutes from my lunch ride. Pretty much all of the roads around me are like this. One of the reasons I moved here :) Oh and the ride up the driveway at the end.. FJR with sport touring tires is definitely not the best tool for the job :| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRF0O68UCEE

I recently bought a new set of Conti Motion tires for my 2009 FZ6. The tires are mounted correctly with the rotation arrows on the sidewalls in the correct direction. I noticed that the sipping on the rear tire run one way but the sipping on the front tire runs in the opposite direction. The...

Hello guys, I need suggestions on bringing back the colors of my bike back to (close to) new. I would like to know what you guys use for plastics and paint on metal (like tank and wheels). 1. Mother Back to Black for plastics; probably similar form Turtle wax or Meguiars 2. Maxima SC...

I just got my tires replaced on my 04 fz6 they supposedly balanced my tires after they mounted them. At lower speeds it felt fine until I got to higher speeds of around 110ish mph then the front would start to wobble not to vigorous but noticeable. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing...

Sold thanks

How's it going fellow riders, Just introducing myself to the forum, and I noticed this site has an abundant amount of information. I see my self spending some nights soaking it up haha. I have been riding for about 4 years now and have owned a handful of bikes. The first being an 06 Zzr 600, 12...

I've been looking around and I'm trying to come up with a general list of items I'll need. Back in the fall I was riding at night and hit something in the middle of the road that put a dent in both my front and rear rim. Luckily I didn't drop the bike or crash! Now tires still hold air and I...

Hey guys, New to the forum, new to the bike. I recently picked up an '08 FZ6 from a guy a couple hours away and am honestly in love with the bike. This forum has been a huge help so far too so hi to you all. The previous owner pointed out the bike needs a new rear tire. This would be...

Hard to believe, you can pick up a new 2015 - 2016 model with all the bells and whistles for under $4,000! Yeah, it's a 250, but who cares, I may just have to get one and get those tires studded to become my dedicated winter bike. CSC MOTORCYCLES - 2015 MOTORCYCLES

tires, and a heck of a ride First what tires do you guys recommend for spirited riding, bike currently has battle axes which did okay. But I would like something a little more performance oriented but will last more than 3k miles. Now for the ride part. Went on a ride with an r6 and a...
