First, glad to hear that you escaped the incident with little/minimal damage. I'm always careful around painted lines for this very reason. I was riding up Hwy 52 here in North Georgia a few weeks ago and watched a guy suffer the same fate as you. Same story, early in the day and dew on the...

MSRP at just under $8K USD makes the new Yamaha FZ-09 a steal. I really want a Speed Triple but I would definitely consider the FZ-09. I had an old TX-750 that we stripped down and converted to a dirt bike and that triple ran awesome!

UPDATE: Got the TPS sensor replaced and she runs like a top. I also had the fork oil/seals changed.

You might want to give the VIN to your local Yammy dealer and have them run it to see if the TPS recall affected your unit. Also might want to check with the previous owner and see if the valves have been checked lately. Just a couple of items that came to mind. I awlays change the oil and ALL...

Really sharp looking bike now! Awesome!

Great price. Speaking on behalf of the Triumph Trips, they have power everywhere. If I had the money, I would own a Speed Triple. My friend has one in blaze orange and it is an absolutely stunning machine as far as looks and performance. I'm curious to see how this new Yam triple performs. I...

RYNO Motors Full Story - YouTube This was interesting too. There is a dealership over here in Marietta, GA that sells Zero Engineering electric bikes. Saw them in Cycle World a year or two ago. The torque from an electric motor is definitely impressive. Have a good weekend.

HAHA That's hilarious! It would have scared the crap out of me too! I saw in the news a few weeks back where the Pike's Peak race was won by an all electric motorcycle. Electric Motorcycles Pikes Peak Lightning Superbike - YouTube BTW - I really enjoy this forum. I read alot of good...

My 05 fz6 was doing this terrible stumbling at highway speed and at first I thought it was bad gas because I just filled up the tank. I ran some injector cleaner through her and ham-fisted it around on to really keep the injectors pumping. This happened a few times and I finally pulled my...

I have that exact same fairing except the speedo is mounted directly to my handlebars with some straps that look like extra-wide zip ties - it's off center to the right side a little bit. I changed out that bunkass headlight bulb with a good H4 or H6, I can't remember..whichever one was the high...

Here is a pic of Lucille. She has bar ends, an after market fairing of unknown origin (probably China) with a single H4 bulb, adjustable levers, big ass frame sliders (I call 'em highway pegs), Michelin PR2's, drilled cans, and usually my ass hanging off of her. Let's ride! :BLAA:

Wow, that sounds really good. What website did you find them on and how much were they? I would love to upgrade on the cheap..I've already drilled my stock exhaust.. Thanks for posting the before and after vids!

Hi all. New to the forum and I currently reside in Flowery Branch, GA USA. I love my FZ and look forward to many safe miles. I'm currently trying to sort out my aftermarket headlight and wiring that came on my used bike. Wish me luck! TM
