My Dad and I finished up the initial 600 mile service on my red '07 FZ6 today. The service was very straightforwards. We just followed the instructions in the Yamaha service manual, and we ran into no difficulties.
I went with Rotella T 5w-40 oil, and a HiFlow oil filter.
The steering head was a little loose, so we tightned that up per the specs in the service manual.
The chain was in spec and did not require adjustment - just a good lube and clean.
I installed some Shogun frame sliders and checked out the torque on the other engine mounts. To my suprise I found them to be quite loose! I have a feeling that getting the engine mounts torqued properly might eliminate most of the buzz I get at about 5000 rpm.
Thats all for now!
