    New Bike Time?

    Two bits of info. First, I didn't seek out an FZ6, it found me. I helped a friend on my son (then high-school aged) purchase his first street bike. When he went in the Navy a few years later I bought it from him because he didn't know what to do with it when they deployed him. It sat in my...

    Coolant is dark brown

    My bike is a 2008 with 9000 miles and I'm the 3rd owner. Do you think it's just rust from years of previous owners not changing it often enough?

    My name is Mack. I just got a naked version 2010 FZ6 S2 from a friend in the U.K. I'm not really into bikes when I was younger and just learned to ride 3 years ago. There are a lot of things that I still don't know so please bear with me. I hope we can all get along. Thanks!

    06 FZ6 Overhaul (primary)

    So, not so long ago in a town far too far away... I was an owner of a pretty good looking 06 FZ6. Got it in 2010 for 5k and was a summer rider (Washington state isnt exactly a year round riding state). A couple years ago, I had moved and with it wanted to overhaul the bike. Sadly though, it...

    1st unofficial post from L3FTY, after storage, injectors leaking?

    L3FTY Hi and welcome to the 4'uhm Mr L3fty. I am sharing this here vs a PM as I think others will benefit from your methods and perhaps the outcome of this process. That said I also find it unlikely 8 different injectors leak so we are on the same page. What I want to question is the...

    significant mileage moment

    Hi all, Last night on my way home I hit 50,000 km. Now for some that still makes me a spring chicken and others will say I finally got the motor run in. And I'm ok with all that. Still, its nice to see those little figures climb and then tumble over. And before some bright spark says I must...

    What years of front fairing parts will fit a 2005 fz6?

    I recently bought a 2005 FZ6 that went down in a crash and lost its whole front fairing and headlights. I am thinking to find an OEM full fairing to install though I may go naked. Either way I would like to use OEM parts. Can anyone tell me what years of fairing parts will fit the 2005? Is it...

    2007 FZ6 Restoration from Storage Help

    Hi everyone, I bought a 2007 Yamaha FZ6 brand new in 2007 when I was in college. Drove it for about 900 miles and respected all of the break-in period rules. I ended up having to move after I graduated in 2008 and couldn't keep the bike and sold it to my father who put it in his garage. For a...

    Location devices for safety

    I know many riders don't ride the terrain we do here in SoCal but this is not just about riding. My wife and I love nature and we hike when ever we get a chance to. We have many local trails in beautiful areas (canyons) within 2 miles of us. This story about a couple hiking in Joshua Tree...

    I'm thinking about coming back... from a GL1800

    Thinking about coming back... from a Goldwing I had a 2007 FZ6 for over five years and it's always been my favorite bike. When my wife became interested in joining me on rides, I went to a Goldwing. She's done riding, so I'm wondering if I'll still love an FZ6 as much after riding a Goldwing...

    Ok. Some of the bikers in my city have been posting on our citys sport biker Facebook page that "if you store your bike with regular fuel in it, it's not good. Even with stabilizer!" Now I've been storing my bikes for years with regular fuel and stabilizer and have had no problems. Whats...
