My First Bike!!

[nazrym]

Woohoo!! I finally got me a bike! 2006 Yamaha FZ6! Got it used with 5500 miles on it, but it is new to me. I'm so excited and have been riding everywhere with it. I got bikers putting their hands out waving. Sure feels good to be a part of something.

I got it on 10/7/08. Still getting used to playing with the clutch and the throttle. I took the MSF course, never ridden a bike, got my license, and found me a bike! Then I forgot that I needed insurance. Haha. But I got them now.

Nice choice....:thumbup:

I see you got the widely-acknowledged superior color, so that's a doubly good choice. Now it's time to get to modding! If you aren't interested in that now, you will be if you hang out on the forum enough. Looks like you already have frame sliders, the most important mod.

Nice bike and welcome to the site.

Now just take it easy and get used to the bike because it really can kill you if you are not careful.

Welcome aboard!!! I had one just like it.:thumbup:

































and yes RED is the fastest color

:welcome: and congrats on the first bike! You'll love the FZ.

For now, keep it under 7k, over that and the bike is no longer n00b-friendly...

Edit-

Nice choice on the red! I hear its faster than the "other" color

It has around 5600 miles on it. I need to get the tank pad to prevent the tank being scratched up. I was also thinking of replacing the exhaust with Scorpion exhaust. But then I heard that at times I will have to adjust the fuel injector because the fuel might be too rich or something. Sounds a little more complicated than what I would want to work with.

How do I maintain the bike anyways?

change the oil, lube the chain, check air pressure in your tires before every ride. periodically check all fasteners for proper torque. adjust your chain. these are the basics and we can help you do all of them!!:thumbup:

And even more important than knowing how to wrench on your bike, is knowing how to ride your bike.

It won't all come naturally no matter who you are...it's a thinking man's activity and there is an endless list of things to learn...subscribe to some mags like motorcyclist/sportrider, get some books, read the forum, and have fun...you'll soon get addicted to improving your understanding/skills...as the safety & fun factors will rise exponentially with skill/knowledge.

Welcome to the forum....nice looking bike...now remove those ugly swingarm stickers please!

Oh yeah, real men (and women ) wear gear :thumbup:
