Most of you know I adopted a BMW R1200 GS a couple years ago for longer trips/touring, and it's become my commuting/weekend bike too. I've tried to put my FZ up for sale a couple times, but a last, balls-to-the-wall ride through the mountains convinces me to keep her awhile longer. It's...

First off, what an amazing tire! I commute pretty much everyday, all year long, on my FZ. No matter the weather, hot or cold, (light)rain or sun, I'm taking the Fz to school or work. The wet/rain capability of the pr4's is quite impressive. I've never once felt a slip or had moments of...

Today I changed the oil+filter, did a coolant flush/replacement, and changed the air filter. The oil was blacker than Satan's arse hole and smelled extra burnt. Coolant was low and the reservoir was borderline dry. No leaks though. Put in premium (93 octane) instead of the regular(87) gasoline...

I wonder it compromises the traction on the tires..! Will it? Anybody ever tries? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi_Fh8Y6ops

As many miles as I've logged on a bike and I've never actually picked out tires. On my last bike I just went with what was on there because they seemed good (perelli sport demons). Now the Dunlop Q3's on my recently acquired FZ6 are 5 years old and, tread or not, in need of replacement. The vast...

So I replaced the tires last week and the brakes aren't as firm as they use to be. Will bleeding them solve the problem?

:) Hi, Well.... fz6n does not have a chance against sport bikes (especially 1000cc or high-reving 600cc) however I did my best on the track and my old bt-023 tires had really long 2 days. Just bits of this or that corner ... Enjoy the show ;) Slovakiaring + fz6n Best lap: 2:53 Top speed...

Like the title states I'm in dear need of new tires, rear only but would rather get both. Bike has 4k so far. Do you guys happens to know of a sale going on right now? Would like to pilot roads if possible but open to other options. Thanks you!

Hey all, I see a huge number of tire posts on here and am still a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I just got an email from Cycle Gear with what seemed like a decent deal on some bridgestone BT-016 Pro tires for $179 + install. I don't track my bike and just mainly ride the city...

Is it okay to run two different tires brands on my FZ or is it just taboo? Basically, I only need a rear tire and don't want to use the same brand... My front tire is still in great condition. Should I just bite the bullet and buy two new tires, same brand?

Anyone have any experience with these tires? Reviews look pretty good. Dunlop Sportmax Q2 Tire Combo | MotoSport Canada

I just finished using some great tires which are Bridgestone's Battlax S20's. Loved them and have gotten about about 5000 miles out of them with room to spare for maybe 1k or more. I mostly commute on the freeway now though instead of the twisties and would like to look for more of a touring...

Cold and nasty here in Missouri and time to blow some money.. I still have the OEM tires on my 2008 with about 4300 miles on it.. Tread is still good, but they are getting hard and have some cracking on the front tire.. I have it narrowed down to these 2 tires.. Rocky Mountain has the PR4...

Pr3's were put on at 32,750 miles, and just took them off at 51,000 miles. That is a little over 18k miles on a set of tires!! (15,000 commuting/ the rest spirited weekend riding) Great tires! I would recommend them to anyone that is going to be commuting. They were also awesome for weekend...

I had a flat late last week and found myself " pluggin it for "temporary" use (hoping to stretch it out another 1K miles). As I closely inspect my tires upon getting home I realized what looked to me as a box cutter slash marks!! I'm like WTF, bad enough to slash anyone's tires....but on a...

Pirelli has published a technical guide which lays out its own recommended tire pressure for each of their tires specific to every motorcycle. For example I'm running their basic Pirelli Diablo street tire and here's Pirelli's pressure for the FZ6: Front 2.50 bar / 36.26 psi Rear 2.9 bar /...

I have had my 08 FZ6 for about a year now and it has 4100 miles on it (bought with only 2300 on the clock) With the miles being low but it being about 6 years old, what service would you recommend on it? I see things for higher mileage like plugs and servicing forks, but more curious about the...

Hey guys, my wheels seem to be offset but the alignment is good. I replaced both tires about 500 miles ago myself. Obviously, I pooch screwed something on reassembly or didn't get everything aligned. Assuming all spacers/washers/bearings are in the correct location, any ideas on how to...

I've had my 06 FZ6 for a year and a half now and have put a considerable amount of miles on it. It is my first bike and I bought it with 18k and now it probably has around 28k. The only maintenance I have done to it are: Regular Oil Changes Clutch Cable Lube Chain and Sprocket Replacement...
