KBB is saying my bike should be around $2,600 for a trade-in, which about lines up with what you were valuated at. To be honest, if I could get anything above $2,000 for a trade I would be happy. I know I could get more money selling the bike privately on craigslist or cycletrader, but my time...

Well my best avenue may be to trade the FZ6 in to the dealer. The bike I'm looking at is used at a BMW dealer, and it's at an unbelievably low price. I want the bike NOW and I don't want to procrastinate because it may be gone if I wait much longer.

Unfortunately I'm considering moving on from my FZ6. I have my eye on a Super Tenere and I didn't want to waste my time with craigslist / cycletrader, so dealer trade-in is my strategy. KBB says for my year and condition bike, I should get $2,600 for trade-in. My bike has about 14,500 miles...

motojoe122, how is that any different than just getting the MRA X-Creen for use with my stock screen?

Sounds like this might suit my needs? Puig Touring Windscreen Yamaha FZ6 2007-2010 - RevZilla

I am in the market for a different windscreen for my 2007. I'm 6', maybe an inch taller with boots and helmet on. I do mostly commuting but go out for country rides on the weekends and occasional highway trips for the day. Below highway speeds the stock screen is fine. But once I approach 65mph...

I'm getting the MIVV Oval Carbon Cap exhaust tomorrow (in the picture) and I've heard that the db killers are difficult to remove. I don't know if the baffles on some MIVV models are easier to remove than others, but from what I've read you need to drill out rivets and beat them out with a...

Hey all, I just got my first bike, the FZ6, on Saturday. I've been practicing the last few days in parking lots for about one hour each day. This evening I went to start my bike and the engine wouldn't fire. After a few more attempts at starting it, the battery was dead. I put the battery on...

Hey folks, I was interested in installing some fog/running lights on my bike. They will be primarily for extra visibility to other motorists and not so much for more road illumination. Something like small LEDs (golf ball size lenses). Has anybody done anything like this or have...

Hey everyone! Just got my first bike yesterday, a 2007 FZ6 (naturally). Candy red, 11xxx miles, all stock except for the fender eliminator the one previous owner did. Looking forward to learning and loving this bike!
