You are probably fine, but if you are not, the price is pretty expensive. If Yamaha can prove you are out of spec, you'll pay. Frankly, the warranty is short and so you'll pay anyways.
For me, I'm not changing oil a lot. Yamaha recommends 10W-40 or 20W-50. I buy synthetic 10W-40 Mobile 1...
I know your dilemma. That why my wife doesn't ride anymore.
I have friends who ride Harley's. They wear no gear. They never have an answer for why they think that is ok. Oh well, it's not!
I picked up the Purolator Pure One PL14610 oil filter and a gal of Shell Rotella T6 full synthetic oil. Am I setup with the ultimate engine saving super lube system?!
Since this stuff was published a couple of years ago, have people had issues? Or is there something better now?
For occasional use, the heat packs can't be beat. If you need a commuter, good gloves and/or headed grips are a good idea. I only have good gloves, but I don't ride below 38ish. My ride is about 30 min one way.

Regarding boots, I have the same kind of issue. Still, some of the touring boots might be walking...
Next really DO get gear ands lots of it. Gear will help you ride more comfortably in weather or cold and more confidently all the time knowing one get off will probably be OK.
Helmet: IMO, get one which does what you want. For me, that is fit, airflow, anti-fog and last sunshade
Jacket...
My experience says "bulky" is a matter of a couple of things. Bike gear is bulky feeling off the bike. That is kind of a fact of life.
Also on an FZ6, any excess material will make gear feel bulky riding. I like to wear my gear a tad small, when possible to keep the pads in place and...
Good to hear you bought the stuff. Good for the economy.
I bought the e41's cause they hold more, and I really wanted to avoid a top case. I have to swing my leg over. How do you top case'rs do it?
