Nobody here will remember but 5 years ago I took my FZ from Toronto to Sarasota. That was quite ordeal since I managed to do it on weekend when they measured highest temperatures ever recorded in Eastern part of USA. So this time going back I was not to repeat past mistakes. What happened is...

Soon I will be selling my FZ6 :( I am just wondering do you guys allow buyer a test ride? Maybe stupid question but when selling a car you ride right seat. With bike you can't do that. I wouldn't like to see back of my bike disappearing down a road and no money in hand.

Hi there, Don't know where exactly where to put this post, general or mechanical help so I'll try here first. I have 2007 FZ6 and for years already I am experiencing subtle vibration in my right hand side grip. It's not like Harley where on traffic light stop whole bike, including tips of...

Yesterday I arrived from Toronto to beloved Sarasota, FL. Took Uber to our place counting on my trusty FZ6 sitting in garage. Before going to sleep I plugged in battery charger to get it ready for tomorrow. Normally I keep it on all the time but this time it was unplugged for 2 months. More...

Hi everybody, It is not a big deal but I got enough of stock skinny grips and decided to improve that situation. I kind of feel small vibration on right side and my fingers get numb after a while. That is a hand you can't rest by removing from the handle bar since it is a gas so bike slows down...

Hi everybody, I like FZ6 and all that but I can tell that Yamaha engineers didn't kill themselves when developing lights. There is simply not enough light available. I did mod so both LH and RH are lit up for low beam but still not much of improvement. There is no enough power to light up the...

Hi everybody! Remember me, I moved FZ6 using Honda Odyssey mini van and small ramp. We went like that several times back and forth on route Toronto – Sarasota. This time I decided to bring it up a notch or two and actually ride it out from Toronto to Florida. I work 5 days a weeks and all trips...

Hi there, You can see my other post with battery troubles. They sold me bad brand new battery. It didn't work and I didn't want to believe that new battery is bad so I measured what's coming from alternator. At about 900 RPM idle motorcycle is sucking about 1.5A out of the battery. Voltage...

Hi there, It looks like my battery is kaput and have to buy new one. Does anybody know max battery size (WxHxD)? I know that Wal Mart carries some motorcycle batteries. I am in Canada and I don't think we have that Wal Mart that well equipped as you do in USA. I guess I will have to search...

Hi there, Can anyone identify P/N for FZ6 battery? After 3 months leaving bike in garage I found battery dead. Before 10 month sitting in garage didn't kill it but 3 months ago I installed Acuman display and I am suspecting that it drained the battery. Would you find new one in Walmart? P/N? I...

Hi there, Last weekend I was fooling around a oil change and clutch cable oiling. i disassembled the cable (2 pieces) but had almost no luck pushing oil from oiling can to cable sleeve. Can anybody recommend some kind of tool for that purpose? Zack

Hi there, After learning to ride and riding it for one season ('08) my son purchased 2006 GSXR 750. If you remember, last year we went to Buffalo together (from Toronto) and imported brand new FZ6, cobalt blue. We both shared it last summer and now he is very happy owner of the gixxer, yellow...

Hi there, I am having a bit of trouble with clutch or transmission. Many times when I want to change a gear either up or down shifter is resisting kind of half way. It is like there is something preventing it from going to new position. If I am shifting down I let go of clutch a bit, it...

I know, this theme is beaten to death with no real results many times. Here is how I see it. All helmets are DOT and SNELL approved so that takes care about safety factor (USA, Canada). So what is there remained and is so important? Here is my priority list and I will explain later: 1...

Hi everybody, Maybe you remember, maybe not but last year in Fall I described moving a FZ6 to Sarasota, Florida. Now it came up time to bring baby back to Toronto. Snow is gone and riding season is (almost) every day. Since I don't have trailer or pickup Honda Odyssey serves as...

My son set his eyes on GSXR750 for a longer time. That's a dream bike for him. 3 days ago he brought it home, yellow and black, quite nice looking. Looks and sounds terrific. After putting together every dollar he could muster he is all happy with deal he got. 8300 bucks for '06 with 2200 km...

Hi there, Does anybody have Akuma helmet with active visor? Going tinted after flicking a switch sounds like super idea. How are other important things like noise? Thanks, Zack
