Does the Yamaha windscreen work as Yamaha says? Is it significantly better than the stock windscreen?
Thanks

I bought that windscreen...can't say I notice that much of a difference, but there is a difference...I also think it makes my bike look better, and since the sprocket change, I'm stuck at about 110mph versus the 133mph I was doing...so I wouldn't notice as much of a difference...I do love the windscreen though...I was gonna get the PUIG but Yammie's says FZ6R on it

its shorter than the stock screen, I dont see how it can be any better unless the shape is different?
The shape is different...its a double bubble where the stock is flat...so even though it is shorter it sticks out approx. two inches toward the front wheel, shooting the wind up earlier and basically tumbling the air higher...for what I use my bike for, the windscreen works for me but is not that noticable...in the event that I should decide to "race" I can see the added benefit

gotcha! I have not payed attention to pics of them to notice the difference
I just put on the clear double bubble Yamaha windscreen a week ago and was waiting to take some better pics of it for everyone to see. I was waiting for an aftermarket touring type screen, but found a good deal on the Yamaha one ($55). I've included some pics (not the best) from the night I put it on to compare the OEM to this one. I'll take some better pics in the daytime so you can see how it looks. The one on the right is the stock. You can see how the new one is more curved. There isn't a huge difference, but a noticeable one. The wind seems to be more smooth and less turbulent. I'm 6'3", so the wind still doesn't go over my helmet, but its not as turbulent as it was. Plus, it looks a lot better. I would recommend it more for the looks than the function. I figured, for $55 I would give it a shot until zero gravity or the others come out with a tall screen. Like I said, I'll get some better pics here soon so you all can see.

The fully tinted screen is shorter, the clear with lower tint is the same size as stock.
Yes the tinted one is smaller I love it...and as far as redirecting the wind...it will direct the wind over the helmet much better in crouched positions...stock windscreen...i could feel the wind pushing on my helmet when going +100mph, now I hardly feel anything...when just riding regularly I do not think it matters that much but there is still a small difference...here's some pics of the tinted windscreen on my bike
Here's the link where I bought it form: 2009 Yamaha FZ6R Yamaha Raised Bubble Windscreen (Clear) at Stadium Yamaha
YES! That was absolutely ridiculous! I ended up carefully using a razor blade to scrape it off, then used duct tape to remove the residue, and Goof-off to finish it off.
yeah, I posted that up in another thread.... someone asking about the gas tank sticker, I told'em just wait till you get the bubble screen...
Someone should tell Yamaha about those clear plastic "stickers" that just cling to materials... seems they are stuck (no pun) on using this super duty sticker that is very resistant to removing.
I like that one. Where did you buy it from?
Get it from your dealer, or order it from anywhere that carries Yamaha:
