    How much did you pay for your FZ6R?

    Now that is a steal! I paid $5,250 for mine in April of 2015, but it was brand new with 0 miles at a dealer. I would have gone for yours if it had been available then.

    Time to say goodbye

    Excellent choice. Unless you can find a deal on a Lotus Elise you won't find many cars that will give you the lightweight thrill of an MX-5.

    Pictures/ Video of my Air Scoop Switchback LEDs,TBR exhaust,Yamaha OEM led turn

    Nice! I have a '13 which is the same as yours except with a red frame. I like your mods. Personally I hate the way the stock front turns look, but like the LED option you chose. At least it updates the look. I went with Motodynamic LED's to give it the flush mount look.

    Is it safe to store my FZ6R in a hot garage that an AC unit emits exhaust into

    Agree with others here. Anything covered is better than out in direct sun or rain.

    If you have an OEM filter - why wouldn't you use it?

    2015 FZ6R Parts Compatability?

    The shop telling you the "bike is too new" when we are in 2016 and the bike came out in 09 is pretty suspect. I would be suspect of the shops ability.

    Cleaning the engine.

    Simple Green is good stuff or any degreaser you can find at the auto parts store(I use Greased Lightening diluted in a spray bottle). Just don't let it dry on the motor as it can streak.

    Replacement is the only way to go. The metal is weakened once it is bent.

    Help buying used FZ6R

    I have put 130 miles on my 2013 in a year.... That is a great price for an essentially new bike. I would go and take a look. It is only an hour south. Just make sure he is cool with you getting it checked out before you buy it.

    what is the depreciation value of our bike ?

    To be fair $2,630 is TRADE IN value to a dealer. Retail for the bike at a dealer is $3,840 at the same source. I certainly wouldn't sell mine privately at trade in value(somewhere in between would be a fair number) but then again the bike in question has been dropped, is naked and needs a tire.

    OTD Price

    Let me guess - Mountain Motorsports? I really hope you check with the guys I suggested above in Seneca, SC. They were awesome to deal with and no tricks.... What we discussed on the phone was exactly what was on the paperwork when I drove up there.

    OTD Price

    According to the specs I am reading on the manufacturers web sites a 15' CB500F is ~420# and a FZ6R is ~467#. 47# is a decent difference to me even with the power increase.... Understand your reasoning about the fairings. Did you consider the Honda CBR650F? I looked at those last year as...

    OTD Price

    I bought my leftover 2013 from a dealer in April of 2015 and paid $5,814 OTD. The base price was $5,250 and they added $375 for freight and $189 for doc fees. Yours is a couple of years newer, but I wouldn't pay over $6,500 OTD. I would suggest you call several dealers. I ended up buying my...
