bike

just wanted to say thanks to you all for the help, advice and encouragement you all provide. Ive had alot of personal things going on this yr (separated and in process of divorcing my spouse). I sold my bike recently for a variety of reasons. Anyway, just wanted to say how much I appreciated you...

My 2009 FZ6r has drained two different brand new batteries. The first one within a week of install. The second within a day. I am assuming there is a ground or something along those lines because when it runs there are no additional electrical issues. How can I diagnose and fix this problem? Has...

What type of gas do you run threw your bike? I run mid grade no ethanol. Just curious if the bike runs better on a different type on gas or not. thanks

Whats up guys. I recently repoed my yzf600r after the idiot i sold it too wrecked it. He stopped paying so i got stuck with my first bike again. On the other hand i figured there must be something this bike would have to offer to my fz6r, being that they are both yamaha's. I took a look...

Most of you already know that I've been pounding miles on my 6R for the past few years, all 46K of them. I bough myself a FZ09 about 1 year ago and put a solid 10K miles on it already. That include 2 little trip in the Smokies and 2 track days. Also this past week I had the chance to build an...

Been riding everything since I was 14. Now in early sixties. Last bike was a Honda VTX1800. Last fully faired bike was a 92 FZR600. More than 20 years ago. From what I can remember from that, this one is miles ahead in all aspects. I want to shift forever. Starting to get better telling...

I'm deciding to get a new bike, but I want some input. I'm looking at a 2013 ninja 1000 for 9500 Also looking at a 2014 yamaha fz09 for 7990 I like the hooligan fz09 low end usable power and it's a wheelie machine It would be a blast around time just snapping the throttle Then...

Hello I recently bought a FZ6R. I noticed when i was cruising at 60 to 70 mph the rpm where getting really high. Just wondering if this is normal and also if I ride at that speed for a long period of time will it hurt the bike?

Hey everybody, I live in Canada and I may only have a couple more weeks until I decide my hands are cold enough to end the season. I have the 2014 fz6r and it is this is my first bike in my first season of riding. Can anybody tell me what you recommend for storing the bike for the winter? I...

I cant believe Yamaha will sell a bike like the FZ6R W/O one and with no good way to get the bike off the ground is just silly. Coming from heavy cruisers, the chain is new to me to deal with so I fabed up one in my shop so I can quite griping about it.:D Didn't want to spend the big bucks...

Finally got around to doing some things on my wife's bike today. It's an '09 white pearl with 5500 miles on it. It came with a lowering link on it but I removed it and lowered the front 1.8". Also has 2bros full exhaust. So today I deleted the mirrors. Installed flush mount signals in the...

My last bike was a cruiser and the tires lasted forever, with relatively flat wear patterns. So maybe I'm freaking out about nothing... At 6200 miles, I am getting close to the wear marker on my back tire (Dunlop Roadsmart). It's the front tire that concerns me. Yesterday when I got off the...

Living in Western PA, late summer/early autumn is definitely one of the best times of the year: The wretched humidity is gone, temps stay in the 70s, and rainy days are far and few between (by PA standards.) Oh, an there's pumpkin beer. It's especially refreshing this year after the incessant...

What do you do for a living? I'm an airborne weather forecaster in the USAF, working with the Army right now. How long have you owned your FZ6? 1 year What other modes of transport do you have? My ballin' 2012 Ford Focus gets me around in the rain. If you could have any bike what...

Hi all, My name is Landon, I recently got my 2013 FZ6 and I'm not new to riding but new to this style and bike. Been riding cruisers since the middle 80's and just got board and burned out on the heavy bike (2001 Road star) Still have it though. Went to local shop to get a dirt bike to...

I have a little Honda beginner bike for a season. I wanted to upgrade to a little bit faster ride for highway riding. The FZ-07 has gotten a tons of great review lately. This is the bike I wanted to get going into the demo ride. I got there around 10:15am and the earliest they have me on a...

Hi all, I took a spill a week and a half ago. I'll post a thread about it, what i learned, advice, all that jazz soon. Came out relatively unscathed because of all the gear I had on. In the meantime though I'm in the midst of repairs. I dropped my bike off to the shop but they won't be...

Hey guys. Yamaha newbie here. Bought a new 2014 FZ6R about a month ago and put 1k miles on it since. It's my third bike, first being a ninja 250, second an FZR 1000, and this is my first brand new vehicle. Hoping to get some good ideas in how to make the bike better :)

I had a low side slide going around a corner after an intersection on my New to Me 2011 FZ6R....It was more embarrassing than hurtful. I did knock my left signal off (not broken) it still works when u plug the connector up. I have some sciffs on the side and some on the left fairings. It bentu...

I bought this bike and want to buy the newer version! It is in great shape. two brothers exhaust from headers back. Rear tire is in great shape, front might need replacing in a 1000 miles. full LEDGlow kit, mirror mod, fender eliminatior and all that jazz. more and more.. Anyways... it comes...
