trip

After 5 cross country trips on the FZ6, I have one more trip to take to hit 3 states until I'll have ridden in all of the lower 48. The killer is Oklahoma, I came close to it, but didn't cross the border. That makes this the trip a bit longer than it has to be (the other two states are Florida...

Hello fellow FZ6 riders! I wanted a place to document my 2004 Faster Blue FZ6 adventures and thought this forum would be a great place! I've been obsessed with the FZ6 ever since my dad bought a silver one in 2005. He recently passed it off to my brother and got a 1997 BMW R850R to ride. When we...

Hello everyone, I am new here, but I have been riding on and off for about 7 years. I own a 06 Yamaha FZ6 with about 10,000 miles on it. Most of them are from me. This is my second motorcycle, and I love it. I got it in college and have commuted to college, as well as to work and back with...

The battery died! The two year old BikeMaster Gel battery is not recommended by me. I went back to YUASA I also did suffer a torn bottom rubber lip to my LS2 helmet, two false neutrals while shifting and the bike burned some oil for the first time. As to the trip, it was along the...

Wow what a special one this was! This was our 1st time going to Maine so we wanted to make the most of it. We left at 8am Saturday and rode 5 hours straight to get to Portland. Consumed copious quantities of lobster rolls. Checked into our hotel and then uber'd back to town center for some...

A friend and I are planning to throw the bikes in the back of one of our pickups and drive down to the Smokey Mountains in a little over a month. Right now we have planned to do the Tail of the Dragon/ Cherohala Skyway Loop and The Blue Ridge Parkway Loop. We have one more free day to fill...

Last year my brother and I rode to Tail of the Dragon, was alot of fun (our dad, since passed on, used to ride, so this is something we can do that's fun in memory of him). This year, we are going to hit upstate NY - maybe even as far north as Canada. I have the Butler map, and need to do some...

I bought an '08 last summer that one of the previous owners had done a naked conversion on. Some of the work seemed kind of shoddy, but I wasn't going to complain for the price. Anyways, my dash resets every time I turn the bike off. Odometer is fine, but the trip and clock reset which is...

Not really a 'big trip' per se, but more than a day-ride, so that is progress for me ('05 FZ6 since last October). Leaving on Wednesday (post-work) from Phila PA to my big brother's place in Virginia (Shenandoah Valley), will pick him up on his Suzuki Boulevard and we'll head down towards...

It’s hard to believe that it had been 9 years since I took my first cross country motorcycle trip, and now I’m back from my fifth (Act I, Act II, Act III, Act IV). As we visit more and more of the country, it becomes difficult to plan a new route, but luckily there is still a lot of the country...

Someone on the GTA motorcycle forums has embarked on a trip and set huge expectations and goals. He's planning on 10+ hours of riding and 1000 KM a day on a mainly stock 2009 FZ6. The 6 to Vancouver - packing list and preparation Not sure if he's on here. I've been told he isn't, but it's...

Hello guys, We had a small trip ;) of 857 miles, over a 51 hour period (weekend trip), started on Friday afternoon, and returned back on Sunday evening. Myself, Sunil (Linus) and Pranay [(kingxirol) on his Harley], stayed at 74 Deals Gap road. 1. The trip was amazing, tiring, fun, exhausting...

Hello guys, We had a weekend trip to TOD over the weekend, which was 850 miles, before the trip started, I lubed the chain, and didn't lube it in the middle of my trip. Now, I see the chain is bouncing, a bit. It was a bit bouncy, after lubing it, the bounciness reduced a bit, but it is still...

Got the old girl patched up a little more after some electrical issues. New R/R, plugs, and battery seems to have fixed her up and she's peppy as ever. My 2nd cylinder spark plug had burn marks on the white ceramic part, which makes me suspect it wasn't seated fully. The threads in the plug...

. . . and got an '05 Wee-Strom, along with a HF Tag Along trailer. My wife (SV650) and I are headed to Nova Scotia on a camping trip. Joe

Well me and 3 friends of mine got thinking and we all thought it would be great to plan a 4 day trip to Normandy (From North Holland). It will be 1 day ride to get there (with a break and/or a bit of minor road riding), 2days riding around the area and then the trip home (also with a stop off...

So the past 3.5 my FZ6 has been my commuter and occasional 2up bike. I'm toying with the idea of replacing it with something a little more comfortable, for both longer solo rides and light 2up touring. I've experimented with 3 different seats and 2 different handlebars and risers on my FZ6...

A couple of weekends ago I went on a trip to Scotland with a (large) group from my work (about 40). We travelled over on the DFDS Ferry from IJmuiden to Newcastle on the Thursday evening and slept on the boat. On the Friday morning we threw our overnight bags in the bus which was our support...
