Without getting at all scientific, I think the average passenger car would need roughly 600hp to match acceleration with our bikes. That is rare company.

CalSci windscreen... massive improvement for freeway riding. No helmet buffeting, turbulence free head checks. A bit louder, but earplugs mitigate that nicely. My bike went from being fairly miserable and slightly unsafe feeling on the freeway to very comfortable.

True, no need to see through the stock screen. I’d prefer smoke to black in the stock screen and clear in a touring screen.

My red (faster) '07 was dropped by the previous owner and has some rash and a crack on the left side fairing. For some inexplicable reason the previous owner also painted the windscreen flat black, making it impenetrable to light. I'd like to replace these parts. I live in the...

Stator and rotor are also bad. One of the coils had come unattatched at some point and thrashed around under the rotor before settling into a place where it apparently went unnoticed for some time. It is hard to believe it ran at all, let alone without some terrible noise. I looked at the...

My mechanic told me the stator and regulator/rectifier both tested bad. He said it is possible someone jump started the bike with a running car, or the reg/rec overheated some other way. Hopefully I am on the road to recovery after ordering some new parts.

So in this case I would likely install a power commander, or have a shop re-flash the ECU?

Apologies in advance if I am asking something everyone is tired of talking about... The 2007 FZ6 is new to me, is my first bike with an ECU and fuel injection. I did search the forum a bit regarding throttle response, and have learned some useful information, but thought I would selfishly start...

Ok, sounds like good advice then. I didn't consider that the rod would no longer be dampening.

Awesome, thanks! I'm having them installed, but I will probably need to tune them at some point. I was curious about oil weight... I'm 165lbs and I do like to ride fast on the ridges and hollers here in Kentucky. I wasn't sure if I'd give up too much compliance if I went to 10 or 15 weight...

I do have the S2, US model. I think for now I'll keep the fairing though... it has grown on me. Not the best protection, but I had a 1.5hr, 80mph ride home on Sunday, and appreciated the bit of relief it afforded after riding all day in the twisties.

That would have been the smart thing to do, wouldn't it? It died on me again. I had ridden for a few hours on my favorite twisty roads. I stopped for lunch and she fired right back up. I switched on the high beam at some point, not remembering that I suspected a problem with charging, and...

I've had my FZ6 for several weeks now, and have put it through it's paces in the twisties. I'm not an advanced rider, but I want more out of the suspension. The front end dives under breaking, and feels unstable in turns. It is very, very soft and springy. It may actually be low on oil; I'll...

have we had luck with these? overpriced? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Headlight-Set-Head-Light-Kit-Assembly-FitFor-Yamaha-FZ6-FZ6N-FZ6S-2007-2008-2009/273129774090

So far so good with the new, better quality battery. I haven not checked the voltage with the bike running yet, but I've had it out several times including one all-day ride and no issues. I'll still check it one of these days when I am not too lazy to unbolt the tank.

It turns out the battery that was in the bike is very cheap and low quality. It may be the problem. I put a new, higher quality battery in the bike to ride it home. As soon as I can, I'll check the voltage with the bike running and see if it is being charged adequately. I do tend to leave...

I'm new here, but already I have my first issue with the bike. Not how I wanted to start posting. My '07 has ~3800 miles on it, so not much use at all. I'm the third owner, the first barely broke it in, and the second rode it about 250 miles per year. It hadn't been ridden since last fall...

Hello friends! I just became the owner of a red 2007 FZ6. It has only 3775 miles on it, the last 75 put on by me on the ride home. It is all stock, and I plan to change a few things. Exhaust, hard bags, etc. Most of my bikes have been middle-weight inline 4s, and I set out this time...
