For me: 45 MPG in colder weather, ie 50F or lower 52 MPG above 50F, 55 MPG for daytrips Mostly commuting, 40 Miles one way, and yes, I ride like a pansy. Leo Vince exhaust improved fuel mileage about 2 MPG. I don't think K&N air filter changed mileage. No other modifications Happy...

Thanks dmmcd for the switches and shock. Great pics, communication, quick and accurate. Happy Riding DJ

Hi, I bought the following two items and work well for me. Yamaha FZ6 Accessories, Yamaha FZ6 Top Case Mounting Kits by SHAD Extra Large Detachable Motorcycle Scooter Trunk + Light | eBay The rack needed a little patience to install. I also ordered the extra light when I got the...

I used the lock graphite that sprays in then dries. It worked good, but later when the lock was sticky and I applied it, it did not fix the lock. I sprayed some Wet Dupont lube in and it works good again. So I think the graphite was gumming it up, and I needed to clean it out. Maybe I used...

I have this screen and use it most of the time. It offers good protection, and I really like the hand protection in cold and rain. In the summer, I prefer more windflow with a smaller windscreen, but it depends on how you use the bike. Only drawback is more wind buffetting arround the...

I believe the master link is equal to the continuous chain for durability. Failure of most chains is wearing out, or links binding, Not breakage. Probably in mass production it costs less to make a continuous chain than to have a person assemble a master link. But for replacing a chain, it...

I regreased my steering head bearings at 22,000 miles. Never touched before that. They were in perfect condition with no signs of wear, failure or rust. There was an adequite amount of factory grease, but not as much as I prefer. No need to change the bearings for me. I did pack them with...

Hmm... OK, glad you sold it. However it is little unusual that within 30 min of recieving pictures I responded I would take it. Seems strange someone else bought it within that short time for an item that was for sale for 6 days prior. Also, there was no responce after a 2 day follow-up...

Hi Yammi-tiger I sent an e-mail saying I would take the seat, 4 days ago, but haven't heard back. Is it still available? Happy Riding, DJ

Lately I have been downshifting to 1st at about 5 mph. The shift is smoother with less clunk than at other speeds. Also, when upshifting from 1st to second, I have been shifting to Neutral, then 2nd. Again, for less clunk. This is for normal, acceleration arround town, and I dont do it if...

HI Yes, I have a 2009 FZ6. Not FZ6R, so it will fit. Thanks AK864. Happy Riding DJ

My last oil change was Amsoil and changed at 6,500 Miles. I figured this was before the 2 X 4000 mile interval recomended for full synthetics. All my previous chnages were at much less miles. However, the bike shifted and ran better with fresh oil, So I won't go that long again. Maybe...

Looking for Fork springs and/or a rear spring stiffer than stock FZ6. Let me know what you have. Rate, use, condition, price. Happy Riding, DJ

I bought a dual pane (Non heated) Shieled for my Bell Vortex and works good. No fog. It is heavier and not as "easy" to see thru as a standard shield, but very nice for preventing fog. I tried Fog city inserts and they did not work for me. I considered pinlock, but it was more than $60 and...

Thanks Ben for the suit and shipping it out quickly. Regards Dan
