I said I would attach photos with my previous post, I couldn't find any on my computer at the time, but I've managed to dig them out. Photos are all taken looking from front to back of bike. Front tyre wear before replacing: Brake caliper and rotor left: Brake caliper and rotor right...

It appears the product is unheard of in the UK. I can try get some shipped out from the US albeit very pricey if you believe it will make a difference!

I have a few updates here: I was really busy over the Christmas period and have only just got round to having some time off to look at the bike, which has been mainly focused around giving the bike a good service, changing out tyres and replacing the chain and sprockets. I had learned to live...

Just had a little look and I can't find it sold anywhere online, is this a popping down to the Yamaha store jobby? May be worth a try. My bike has just ticked over 25,000 miles, so I'm not quite at your 45k mark yet! Now we're delving into the world of things I've not done to the bike...

Only thing that's been modified on the bike is the exhaust and that was done last year shortly after I got the bike. Only thing I had to do was up the idle a little and it ran fine. Plugs looked spot on when I pulled them, tan coloured, none of them looked fouled. CO settings are back to...

So for the past few months my bikes not been entirely happy, fuel mileage has dropped and this irregular idle problem has come out of nowhere. When starting the bike while the engine is still warm, but not at full operating temperature, for instance leaving it off for 5 minutes and starting...

I'm in a love hate relationship with my fz6 right now, everything about the bike is great - it's looks, it's practicality the amount of power and fun you can have on it. But most of the time I get on the bike i'm just not enjoying myself because I the darn thing feels like it doesn't want to...
