I think ChainWax is the greatest. Quick, easy, effective, and no slippery drips on my back tire. Speaking of chain lube, isn't the center stand on the FZ6 an awesome plus?

My FZ6 is only a few months old and the clutch feels very stiff compared to other bikes I've owned. I lubed it and tested it while disconnected to see how much resistance there was in the cable. There was no change in the way it felt afterward. The clutch is definitely stiff by design (heavy...

I'd go for the seat over the exhaust. Doesn't the Corbin seat have a detatchable, short back rest for the passenger?

Sounds similar to my "crash" only mine was on the pavement. The only damage to my bike was a dent in the tank from my knee as I struggled to keep it from falling over. Glad to hear noting was damaged. Grass is a great place to drop a bike if you have to drop it.

Looked at the FZ1, but never really considered it. In fact the FZ6 is the only bike I truly considered. I sat on one at a bike shop in 2005 and knew that if I ever did get another bike, that would be it. When I saw the 2007, I couldn't resist any longer. 1. Perfect size and power 2...

Riding is a very personal thing. I was married at 18 and had 3 kids by the time I was 22. Three more kids along the way, and all along there wasn't much in my life that was just MINE alone. My bikes were my escape. Cars are tools to get you from one place to another. A bike is an adventure...

Nope. Wouldn't choose it over the current FZ6 design. Looks like an R6 with high handle bars. Hate the can on the side. Like the split seat though, but less appealing for two-up rides.

[Great weather, new friends, terrific experience, and memories that will last a lot longer than my chicken strips did. Jake rocks! Thanks for letting me tag along.:D

Never wore them before last Sunday when I went on my first sport ride with a group (thanks again, Jake!). We went over 300 miles and hit speeds that I've never even seen in a car, and I was extremely glad to have the ear plugs. I used the disposable, wax plugs and they were very comfortable...

Smoother and less buzzy than any of the other bikes I've owned.

Blocked Vision So I'm riding down a divided road with 2 lanes in each direction at about 35 mph on a beautiful afternoon. There's a big motor home stopped in the right lane with his turn signal on to turn right. Just as I'm passing him on his left, a minivan pulls out right right in front of...

I have the Yamaha FZ6 Cover I bought the Yamaha FZ6 cover when I got the bike. It really fits like a glove without a lot of extra fabric catching the breeze. It's water proof and soft lined on the inside. I think it cost a little over $100, but I think it's worth it. You can order it from...

Have you checked the tire pressure?

Nice. I've been thinking about sliders, but haven't gone there yet. I did drop my bike on it's side, but was lucky as He!! and didn't put a scratch on the engine.

I like the purrr and growl of the Two Bros the best of all the options I've heard. Maybe someday I'll go that route, but I've got to finish paying for the bike before I spend that much on a mod.

The simple windscreen that comes standard on the FZ6 sold in the US is the only choice for me. I've owned several naked bikes and always ended up adding a windscreen. But, you gotta show off that engine! Yamaha got it just right. :thumbup:

Hey, Jake! I didn't know there was anyone else on the forum from the Melbourne area. I live in Palm Bay. Did you get your bike at the House of Power? Ever go on any group rides? Know of any great places to go for a weekend ride? ecurb

Viagra and bikes have a lot in common. It's all about having power between your legs! :rockon:

Hats off to all the guys with enough nerve and skill to do that for fun or money. Hellgate and all you other guys that race (or have in the past) have my respect! :rockon:

That's great. You had me worried about recommending Goo Gone. Thanks for clearing it up. :thumbup:
