Hey there, I just got a GPS last week for the bike and I ended up getting a Garmin Nuvi 550. The Nuvi 500 & 550 are waterproof like the Zumos from what I found (the other Nuvis are your normal car type) but no they don't have bluetooth or a speaker out if that is something you want. I was...

Cool bike, looks like fun. The handlebars have an interesting bend to them too. How did the tank look inside (rust etc)? My last bike, I remember being told to check the tank (that was a Kawi & i guess they are bad for that though)...

Hey, I've been thinking about getting some wheel stripes too, same colour bike. Here's an ebay store I just found: WHEEL STRIPES RIM TAPE DECAL FOR YAMAHA FZ6 FZ1 FZ1000:eBay Motors (item 280365083162 end time Jul-29-09 14:11:09 PDT) To me the dark blue (3rd from the right in top row of...

I got these ones (ebay from OES) about a month back - they seem pretty good to me. They have an aluminum insert, not just pure delrin which is supposed to be better for torquing them down i guess. OES FRAME SLIDERS 04-08 YAMAHA FZ6 MADE IN USA NEW:eBay Motors (item 310135846000 end time...

I concur:D Ya thats nuts... I'm in London (Ontario) and I had to ask my dealer to order a 2009 FZ-6 in from the Yamaha Canada site unseen b/c none of the local dealers I checked even had one in stock this year (lots of fz6-R's tho...). I was kinda surprised. Maybe it would take sales away...

Those are some pretty slick setups, I think I might have to search some old threads for some more info, voltmeter + 12v outlet would be sweet. Any other useful gauges that ppl have added (besides that DGV)?

That's what I figured too, after almost buying one last week. To me that one looks the cleanest especially with the way the plate light is worked in. I think I might go order one too!

Hey All, new FZ-6 owner here from London Ontario, Canada - just got the bike wednesday and have only about 150km's on it. So far a sweet and smooth ride. Thanks for all the info I've got from this site so far, I'm sure I'll be getting much more in the future.

'87 honda XL 185 was my first bike (umm, the other kids at that time 1991-1995 thought dual shocks on a dirt bike were quite amusing...) (not my actual bike btw, but identical...) '91 Kawasaki Zephyr 550, my first street bike. Bought in 2006, still mine (for now). And currently riding...

Just wanted to say hello and thanks for all the info I have gleaned from this site over the last couple weeks (with more to come for sure), definitely helped make my decision to get a nice new FZ6:D which I just picked up today:D:D To be brief bike feels great (coming off a '91 kawi zephyr...
