Sold my FZ6 and now selling the parts I have left. All prices are plus shipping. Will add photos tomorrow. Seat ($65) - stock from a 2007, good condition with no tears or holes. Voltage Regulator ($40) - works keeps the voltage at 14V while charging. Swingarg & rear axel ($60) - 2004 silver...

After replacing the voltage regulator and stator the bike started missing at low RPM. Off idle throttle response can be very bad. Above 3,000RPM the bike runs great. Lifted the tank, poked aroung and re-arranged some stuff. Bike ran great, miss gone. Parked it for a week and problem is...

Bought a new bike and the boss (wife) said the FZ6 must go. 2004 Yamaha FZ6, 39300 miles, $2,100. The FZ6 is based on the 2003 Yamaha R6 with the fuel injected engine tuned for better midrange power, an exposed cast aluminum frame and half faring leaving the beautiful engine exposed. At...

My trusty Yammaha (2004 FZ6 with 39,000 miles) let me down tonight. On the ride home it VERY suddenly quit running. First the engine light, tried to re-start but no go, just clicking and the oil light went on. Was at a 4 way stop so turned off the street and hit the 4 way flashers which very...

Picked up a 2003 Honda Metropolitan a while back. It is a big 49cc scooter - can you say s p e e d! When they key was turned the bike would power up for a second or two and then shut down. After much checking and investigating I discovered the problem: The stock electric fuel pump had been...

A great road near Chattanooga is the New Hope road which goes from I24 on the south side of Nickajack Lake thru the town of New Hope and across the Tennessee river to South Pittsburg TN. It has a couple of great twisty sections which are not long but can be entertaining. When going east on it...

Today after riding 150 miles noticed the chain making a clacking noise as I acclerated from a stop up to 25 or 30 MPH. After that it quit. When I returned home - another 150 miles, the noise was the same. With the bike on the center stand rotated the rear wheel and the clacking noise was very...

For those who have Barber Museum tags, tomorrow, Sat June 9th is tag appreciation day at Barber Museum for motorcycles with a Barber tag. Be there by 11AM and get to do a parade lap around the track.

Last weekend I installed the new chain and sprockets from Sprocket Center. A little history: Wanted a SuperSprox rear sprocket because is looked nice and was lighter than stock. Started out by looking for the individual parts and was going to go with a stock front, stock size rear SuperSprox...

Bought a 2007 swingarm and shock from Flosabe and put it on last weekend. Learned some stuff along the way so decided to post a quick "how I did it". Step 1. Cleaned up the "new" swingarm, removed all the old grease from the bearings including the shock bearing. Used no residue brake and...

Michelin PR2 front tire, 120/70 17 front tire with about 1/2 of tread depth left. Date code is 0909 and it was made in Spain. Would like to get $40 plus shipping. I bought from the Michelin dealer at a WERA race last summer. It was a takeoff and I planned to use it to replace the PR2 front...

Any FZ6's going to be at Barber's this weekend? Mine will be there, if you are going to be there post up and maybe can get some folks together for a photo op.

Saw an FZ6 on 280 near the water works today. Just wondering if it was one of the forum members. Maybe I'm not quick to spot FZ6's but very rarely see them here.

In less than 2 weeks I'm going to ride to Barber's Motorsports Park for the AMA races - long trip for me, about 25 minutes. Anybody else going to be there? Any FZ6's? It would be great if we could get a group of FZ6's in front of the museum or somewhere around the track for a group photo...
