    Vemar Jiano Flip-up Helmet First Look

    I have a KBC envy modular helmet, the chin bar is not completely removable but it opens up completely giving it a Transformers look and not protecting half of my face. I crashed recently, not too violently but enough to crack every single part of the front fairing (some pieces are still...

    FZ8 Official picture

    It is now. Maybe if we all sign up they will get the hint and release it over here. Or I can keep dreaming forever. I need a new headlight and shipping is expensive from Europe

    Rate Your Own Visibility

    11.25 for me! No fluorescent clothing (black leather jacket), no hand signals (not even gloves), almost never try to make myself visible, not any kind of modulator/extra light, ... That's the way to go!

    Which tire catches the nails?

    I voted none but I got my first "nail" on the front tire. It was actually a huge piece of metal that sent the bike flying away with me. The tire (as well as the front fairing) is ripped after only 2000 highway miles (South Florida-Atlanta, GA)

    Ignition switch

    When you put WD40 it doesn't immediately help. You have to force the key to turn until it becomes smooth (usually at least 20times in each direction). once in a while wipe the key and the black substance / dirt that your key and the wd40 collected. I get to do that every 3 to 6 months and my...

    Selling my baby

    Did you drop your price to only $3000? :eek: I actually noticed your ad on Craigslist first. I wish you posted that faster red one before I bought my 2005 silver FZ6 =/

    What headlights will fit?

    I'm done cleaning everything up. I put all of the cables inside of the headlight so it looks all clean and installed some cheap turn signals I bought a while ago on ebay when I planed to fix my old bike. Then I noticed that I had the headlight upside down so I did everything over again. I also...

    What headlights will fit?

    Yes you do :( I lend it to a friend for a few months and got it back today in this state (there's also a broken mirror just like on the FZ6, he paid me for the damages). Amazing considering the speed of a 50cc chinese scooter (about 35mph max), but at least I have my two wheels transportation...

    What headlights will fit?

    I polished the poor thing with a sander and stainless steel polish, it did miracles (from rusty brown back to metallic colour). It's getting dark and I have class soon so I will continue tomorrow. The light plugs right in the low/high beam socket, so I plugged it into the high beam and the...

    What headlights will fit?

    I just thought about my dead old 1992 Suzuki GS500e sitting in the backyard. I am trying to fit its round headlight, having a good time so far. I will let you know how it goes.

    What headlights will fit?

    Fitting a 1992 Suzuki GS500e headlight on my 2005 FZ6 I laid down my bike yesterday and the front is pretty much destroyed. I want to go naked and I want to know the different options available before ordering the FZ1N kit. Did anyone try to fit the Aprilia Shiver 750 headlight? What about...

    Has anyone tried the Bikemaster "OEM" mirrors?

    Is the Burlington Yamaha FZ1N kit the cheapest/easiest option? Burlington Yamaha | FZ1N Headlight Kit

    Has anyone tried the Bikemaster "OEM" mirrors?

    Thank you :) When the police came and filed a report, they didn't seem to believe me because they couldn't find the piece of metal. After the crash a bunch of people stopped and helped me, and one of them took that piece of metal and surely threw it away, I couldn't find it and neither could...

    Has anyone tried the Bikemaster "OEM" mirrors?

    I don't have insurance for my bike, it isn't required in Florida and I never really thought about it / had enough money to afford it. It will definitely cross my mind once I get everything fixed. I was only wearing my leather jacket and helmet, I managed to keep my head off the ground so I am...

    Has anyone tried the Bikemaster "OEM" mirrors?

    I crashed my bike yesterday, there was a huge piece of metal on the road and it made me and my bike fly, it will cost about $1000 in parts not including the paint. My right mirror is destroyed just like everything about the front fairing, I saw an OEM replacement on motorcycle superstore...

    Excess oil

    Whenever I do an oil change I just dump the three 1liter bottles so it's a little higher than max (3 liters = 3.17 quarts). I use the longer filter so I figured I could put slightly more, is that bad for my FZ6?

    Waiting for The Great Pumpkin!

    I won a halloween car decoration contest in high school last year. I had a 1992 Suzuki Gs500e at that time, it had purple (luckily my school's color!) leopard fur instead of the paint! I rode it like that until the pumpkin went bad and disappeared. I plan to do it again with the FZ6 this year...

    Help! Changing rear tyre/removing wheel

    Thanks everyone, I finally got it off! I actually managed to get it off with a succession of hammering the wrench and turning it with all my strength. I think Burger King was the solution as I only weighted 125lbs before I swallowed their garbage. Both new tires are now on. I don't know if...

    Help! Changing rear tyre/removing wheel

    I can't get the axle bolt off, I have tried everything, jumping on the wrench, filling it with wd40, and getting the bike to almost fall off a few times, they over tightened it and it won't move. Any suggestion?
