weight

Title says it all. Ride up to Wally World for supplies. Go to get on the bike (engine is off) to leave,I'm geared up. Left foot on left peg, swing right leg partially over, OVER and off to the left side BOTH I and the bike go. WTF???? I know the side stand was down. Bike was on a...

Hey folks, for those of you who switched out their fork springs, did anyone get a .95kg weight? and how does it feel? I'm 100 kg, 6ft2. The reason I ask the question is the Dublin suspension specialists suggested I go for a .90kg spring to compensate for Irish and UK roads compared to the...

Hi all, Few years ago i did a swap and put the FZ1 handlebar. Really liked it at start, but after doing some lessons from the California superbike school, i find it hard to get to the right position on the bike with this handlebars. Main reason is probably my weight (beer belly :P), doesn't...

What is/are your new years resolutions? Mine are: 1) get fit(ter). 2) Lose weight 3) Post at least an average of 1 message a day on this forum (It seems to be a bit quiet of late).

Hi guys, completed ~3000 miles before I hit the 3 month ownership. I want to say I love my bike, and love all of you guys. You're so helpful and friendly. Just want to share my feeling for my FZ6 after riding to a couple of mountain roads, twisties, city riding and hundreds of interstate rides...

Selling a bike for a friend of mine. We are in need of a single bar end weight. I scrounged one up from a riding buddy, just missing one side. Anyone have one?

As one could figure out from the title, I'm looking for some advice from other riders with the R6 fork conversion. I had them dialed in nicely last season, but I've since taken ~ 10 lbs from the front of the bike with my naked conversion. I noticed a borderline tank slapper yesterday under hard...

Hey folks, I have read a few threads wrt the titled... but I hoped to get some personal feedback. I have a chance to pick up a FZ8 (2013) for a great deal. Is it an upgrade/side-grade? I know wet weight is almost the same as our bike, but how nimble is it? Is the engine that much better...

Bike is 05 fz6. I weigh 220 pounds. They call for .95 but was wondering if I should get the 1.0? I was thinking getting the .95 and 15 wt oil. I will not ever be on a track I dont think and just use the bike to go out and play around on. Has many people near my weight done the swap?

My left fork is leaking oil so I want to replace the oil and seals, but I'm unsure what weight to use. As I'm sure many of you will know, yamaha simply say to use their owm '01' oil, however on wemoto it suggest you use a common synthetic fork oil and lets you choose the weight you want...

I'm curious about this because I was reading the 15t front sprocket thread, and someone reported having the smaller front sprocket and still getting roughly 60 miles per gallon. I have a stock setup, ride it like a total (meow), and very seldomly ride two up... I usually get about 48-52 mpg...
