    Front Fork Oil, Steering head bearings, tires!

    All Balls Racing steering head bearings, noob question!

    ^^^ Ick. I'm convinced that Yamaha installs muck into the steering bearing during assembly. Mine were the same too. All of my bikes except for one all have All Balls bearings; head tube, front and rear wheels.

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    Because Yamaha does't provide the correct category for it and they needed to put it somewhere. With that reasoning I can argue a Yugo is a sports car.

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    That is not even close to a stock SR. The SR500 was never sold as a sport bike. It was an inexpensive, low power commuter. The RD400, Seca 550, and the Vision were Yamaha's small bore sport bikes back then.

    Good call Kenny. While cycling today it hit me, a VW Jetta! That's it.

    question about fork bushes

    If you're in there you may as well replace them. Fork bushings are cheap and easy to replace, all of $6.00 each. 4TX-23135-B0-00 METAL, SLIDE 2, 4TX-23125-B0-00 METAL, SLIDE 1 Yamaha Motorcycle Parts 2009 FZ6 - FZS6YCB FRONT FORK Diagram

    What Kind Of Bike Is The FZ6?

    If your FZ6 was a car it would be something like a Lexus or Infiniti sedan, a small one albeit. An R6 or R1 is a true sport bike.

    FJ-09; A most certain replacement for my FZ6

    My Tuono V4R gets 27. My car gets 19. Who cares? I saw regular at $2.64 today. I figure I'm making out on the Tuono. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2 at 37000 feet.

    Mods for more aggresive riding position?

    I did Converting Bars and set back plates. They made all the difference in the world. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

    Motus MST American V4 Sportbike

    I checked them out at the Austin MotoGP back in April...still no bikes out yet. This is years in the making. Deep pockets...

    Turbo time. Seriously.

    I'm pretty sure the R6 cams will give you greater overlap so you can cram in MORE mixture. :)

    Eh, don't feel too bad, I've bought motorcycles like that before!

    Did I screw up my engine?

    Tom, you're fine, mellow, chill. Has your oil been changed recently? Check. Are your tires in good shape? Check em. If they're cupped, replace 'em. If they are squared, replace 'em Have you changed anything else? Nope. Air tires, fuel tank, lube chain, for for a ride.
