    Gas tank anyone?

    I returned a subwoofer to B&H and fedex wanted $80 to ship it. I asked B&H what shipping options I had and they had a corporate account I could use; the shipping was $11 and they just deducted it from my refund. I wish the shipping companies were more favorable to individuals because that's a...

    Gas tank anyone?

    I actually do have a brand new tank in the box still in the garage. I got it back in 2010 after I dropped my baby. I figured I was going to drop her again and then I'd have an excuse to replace it but that's never happened. I paid the full list price on that back in the day. I'll sell...

    I'm still sporting my '09 6R with 36k miles under her belt without issues -- although that Aprilia RS 660 is calling my name.

    Thanks!!

    Tall person seriously thinking about purchasing FZ6R.

    Not at all, I’m 6’0 and 205. After you get some miles under your belt the only thing I’d recommend doing to the bike is maybe change out the suspension springs for your weight. You’ll be very happy on the 6R. It was my first bike 10 years ago and I’m still riding it almost every weekend

    Woodcraft clip on handlebar mod

    TL;DR - I'd recommend the 41MM 2.5 inch risers for the FZ6R instead of the 1.5 inch risers. So I went ahead and did this mod using the 1.5 inch riser clip ons. I hated the fact I didn't have full range on the steering input and the fact the brake lever touched the fairing made me really...

    Front Fork Rebuild questions

    This is probably a bit late for you but I just rebuilt my front forks at the start of the season. The Yammi kit is ok - it has some of the parts you need but i'd highly recommend replacing the o-rings's and getting rid of that crappy OEM snap ring! that thing is a nightmare to get off. If...

    Flushmounts...

    I had been using the proton flush mounts but they just never were bright enough to be seen during the day. I upgraded to the TST industries set and i'm pretty happy with those. Link below. https://tstindustries.com/yamaha-fz6r-all-years/ Protons...

    update 2: I've been informed there's only a single rider coach in the state certified to teach level 2 so nothing will be offered until late summer/early fall. A nice update was a Level 1 offering that's not even listed on the TC website yet that will be offered July 11th. You can sign...

    Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic (ARC 1 & 2) - Colorado 2020

    Haha, update 1. Lee Parks bought the Iron buffalo riding school and now that's the only school to offer the ARC classes in Colorado! BTW: T3RG is a great riding school, I highly recommend them - I used them my initial intermediate rider training along with my refreshers over the years...

    Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic (ARC 1 & 2) - Colorado 2020

    LED Headlight Mod

    Marketing tells us that LED headlamps can be about 275 percent brighter than their halogen counterparts, and they create a more natural-looking light as well. LEDs also require roughly 260 percent less energy to achieve those benefits. I don' t know about all that but what I can say is every...

    SOLD 2009 - 2012 Factory Service Manual Genuine Yamaha
