But since was stolen and dumped last year (everything fixed except right side fairing scratched up) I just don't feel the same about her. I've hardly ridden the bike since then even though nothing mechanically wrong, just doesn't feel the same. My fiance actually gets it and agrees I should...

Had the bike about 3 years. 2 years ago had back surgery end of May destroyed that season, last year got stolen 4th of July weekend recovered but wrecked and didn't have the money to get fixed so last season pretty much shot. This year got needed things fixed (except scraped up right fairing...

So after getting bike back fixed since stolen and wrecked I went for the 1st real ride this year. I rode home from dealership after work was done week ago but that 34 mile ride didn't count as it was all highway. So yesterday finally got time to do a real ride, Felt great to get back out again...

Since she got stolen last 4th of July weekend and thief lowsided her I didn't ride her but few times for few miles to keep liquids flowing. Finally took her to the shop yesterday in the cold and got showered on (fingers completely frozen by time got there. Rode from Providence to North Kingston...

So Geico estimated damage at $1450 and I have $1000 deductible so just going to fix what I have to and ride a scraped up bike. I need triple tree since the ignition cylinder bracket broken, new ignition cylinder and new right front signal. The bent reaer brake lever is usable and the scrapes to...

Can't believe it but Providence PD then Pawtucket PD call about 10pm last night saying found my bike in Pawtucket and it's at tow shop. Pawtucket cop told me of course ignition gone (I found ignition on ground here), at turn signal broken and scratches one side. Not bad damage wise so not going...

Go out to the driveway this morning, something not right, oh hell the bike is gone!!!! Steering was locked so they broke the ignition off. Police came and said will contact if recovered (fat chance, knew what they were doing). Gieco called and agent handling my claim will call Tuesday. Have...

Well my cheapo cover blew off months ago and bike pretty much sat in a snowdrift until recent melt. Bike actually loos pretty good and started right up but alot of surface rust on chain. Will be going in for start of season service soon but figured should clean up the rusty chain first. Ideas on...

Was just reading elsewhere that Yamaha bringing the naked FZ8 to the U.S. and can order thru dealer the Super Tenere. Thoughts?

What do you do for a living? Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, retired U.S. Navy Chief Master-at-Arms How long have you owned your FZ6R? About a year and a half What other modes of transport do you have? 2010 Kia Soul (in alien green lol) If you could have any bike what would...

Well for over 2 months didn't ride due to badly protruding L5 S1 (horrible sciatic pain down left leg and foot was numb)and Dr. had me out of work couple weeks before surgery. Had an L4-L5 fusion on 24May. Right at 6 week anniversary of surgery releasing me back to work. At 2 1/2 week check-up...

A bit from todays ride down SR102 in RI. Sound is horrible, fair warning. http://s401.photobucket.com/albums/pp100/wolf46_2008/?action=view&current=003.flv

Well yesterday went out for about 5 hours. Had googled bike roads in New England and one of the closest to Providence was up in Mass (SR 140) so hopped on I95 to I495 and got on SR140. Not a bad road but can get stuck behind traffic, had some decent sweepers. Anyway, rode up past Wachusett Mt a...

Ok, going thru Givi site for topcases for FZ6R (there's only 1 sidebags on the Canadian site which are WAY expensive) so thinking about the topcases. All the decent looking ones are Monokey and say they come with universal mounting kit. Then it says the kit won't fit and you have to order the...

This was from another forum STN but thought ya'll might be interested. I am surprised the review wasn't more something like the Ninja 650R and GSX650F as they are closer related to the FZ6R. I looked hard at the Ninja650R and GSX650F but the Ninja just didn't feel comfortable to me though alot...

Ok, let's start using these new topics. I have the Dunnie stocks, anyone have the other brand stocks? and what do ya'll think of the stock they put on? I think for dry pavement the stocks seem pretty good but the times I've got caught in the rain they seem very squirrely (misspell I think.) When...

Looks different but not too much so with some more topic areas. Nice. Now we need something bike related up top instead of just the mns logo. How about a nice Yamaha "blue" FZ6R?

I see that now when I click FZ6R related discussion only FZ6R topics come up. It does make it easier and easy enough to hit the main forum for the full FZ6 and FZ6R. Thanks domain owner.:thumbup:

Getting tired of waiting for someone to make a bigger shield and HARDCASE luggage. Around end of July want to make the trip from RI to western PA and would like to have before I go, grrrrrrr

Ok, remember couple weeks ago I took off my decals. Well right after I did it I scrubbed right side (if sitting on bike) with goo gone for well over an hour to get adhesive off. This weekend before my 375 mile ride I worked on the other side for about 15 minutes maybe and only got not even a...
