Hello, my name is Dave but my friends call me Batman. I am a HUGE Batman nut if you could not tell. I am originally from Florida but moved up to Kansas about 5 years ago. I grew up riding and just bought my 2004 Yamaha FZ6 about a month ago. I went way to long with out a bike and when I saw her I had to have her. I am building her little by little to be an everyday ridden show bike. I would also like to ad some more power to her so we will see what all can be done, she tops out at 159mph as is. I am still learning about these bikes (I had never seen one before) so any help would be great.

Hello! New member here.

Greetings from Chicago. Just picked up a 2008 FZ6 in midnight blue (the faster color). Been riding vintage bikes for the last 15 years and felt it was time to get something that wasn't already 40 years old.

Really liking the bike and can't wait to explore the forum.

Thanks!
Gabe

Hello, I am from Washington and just bought a 2007 fz6 with custom green paint job and 6300 miles. I researched many bikes but found I like the style, look, and feel of this bike the best. I am a student working towards my degree in Chemical engineering. I would upload pic but it brings me to webpage cannot display page.

I really appreciate this site. I live in upstate New York and I'm brand new to riding. The 2007 FZ6 is my first bike which I will purchase next week. My taste for the bike isn't it's speed or power but rather the balance I felt will test driving her. The one thing I don't really like about the bike is that the previous owner put on an after market exhaust, I don't know the brand, but they are loud and that is not my thing. I'll keep my eye on the forum for solutions, it great to read about everyone tastes and lives with their rides.

HEYYYYYYYY!!!!

Its Samantha here from the lovely state of Oregon! I picked up my 86 FZ600 on my birthday in march, it is quite the project. I bought it from my brother who got it from some guy, it had been sitting in the back of a shop for the last 5 years.

After the massive headache its been so far i finally got to ride it yesterday. It was like heaven on earth! still have some issues to work out and might be needing advice on. So far i've cleaned the carbs and replaced the clutches. The carbs have been nothing but a nightmare! Im having an issue with the RPMs shooting up to 4K and not dropping down until i let the clutch out.


So if anyone has any advice im all ears! :rockon:

Hi All,

New member and proud new owner of a Red 2006 Yamaha FZ6 with a little over 12K miles on it! I'm a product designer working in beautiful San Diego :D

I've been lurking for a few weeks now, and have already found great help in doing maintenance, etc. in this FZ6 forum website.

Thanks!

-Felix

Greetings from London (the British one). I was an unregistered lurker and am now the proud owner of a well kept '09 FZ6-Fazer-S2 ABS in midnight black :D Really loving the bike, have given it a little TLC since picking it up a week ago and now looks and feels even better than it did on the ride home. Some getting used to the slightly higher ride height than what I have been on lately but after 100 miles I was well programmed in to my new beastie's handling characteristics :thumbup: In another life I used to ride 250 dirtbikes (always white) on the street and I can feel the hooligan in me coming out again with the ease of riding combined with the sportiness of the FZ6. I think its the perfect all round bike..without going "adventure" crazy. I just wish it was white :ban:
