    New Kawi 636...

    Damn! Nice looking Bike! The insurance is much higher than our FZ6R. I just called my carrier and they said it would be nearly double what I am paying now since the Ninja is considered a super sport bike where our FZ6R is considered sport-touring bike. Plus, I just couldn't bring myself to...

    How to install Front turn signals on your 2012 Yamaha fz-6r

    pics of fender eliminator Here are 2 pics of fender eliminator. The Fender eliminator kits are pretty nice! I love the look of the LED stalk lights as it keeps the almost stock look but cleans it up a lot! You lose all that amber lens look of the huge stock lights. I definitely suggest this...

    Shifting the FZ6R

    You are correct that this is my first 2000+ yamaha but My brother bought an R6 back in 2004 and at the same time I bought a new GSX-R750. We both broke the bikes in together and even switched back and forth while on rides. He often complained about the Yamaha gear box and he also was not a...

    Shifting the FZ6R

    Clunky shifting on fz6r I have had these bikes in the past: Honda CBR F2, CBR f4, GSX-R600, GSX-R750, and an assortment of cafe racers as well. I just recently picked up a 2012 fz6r for my daily commute and I am pretty pissed at how clunky the transmission is on this bike. The only way I...
