    Yamaha FZ6 S2 Fazer 2007-2009 SIDE FAIRINGS, LOWER FAIRINGS Up for sale is a pair of lower fairs cowlings panels for a 2007 2008 2009 Yamaha FZ6. These will NOT fit a FZ6R. I bought them off eBay and didn’t realize that they didn’t come with the mounting hardware. Yamaha, based on their...

    Tank Bag?

    THanks I like the GIVI E41 Keyless side cases for their capacity, but, unfortunately, I ran into problems with the combination locks from the start. Givi was great and sent a replacement lock for the first lock that gave me problems. Maybe a year later, the other lock started giving me...

    Tank Bag?

    I bought the SW-MOTECH TankBag. I like that the bag because it doesn't sit on the tank, but rather sits slight above the tank as it protects the paint. This is accomplished by a ring that you bolt on to the gas tank, and the bag clamps on to it. Also, it is really secure and doesn't move...

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    I have been noticing the same thing, people that buy the ninja are always ecstatic and very pleased. They tend to keep their bikes too. For example, they don't foresee a need to upgrade or change their bike. For the FJ, people are often omitting to buying the bike because it is good for...

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    I was in Burnaby Kawasaki more than a few weeks ago, and I may have been sitting on your bike contemplating.

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    Thank you for the clarification. I made a mistake and remembered incorrectly. It is the traction control that cannot be toggled off while riding. 403 Forbidden

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    How can you say no to a bike that looks like that? Thanks for sharing the link. I have never ridden a inline 3, but the idea (after thinking about it for a while) of the FJ's torque/jump throughout the power band doesn't thrill me for city driving. I know you can power it down with power...

    My thoughts after 2 month on FZ6 2009

    I could barely stand riding my bike on the highway to Prince George last year in July when the weather was hot. I don't remember the ambient temperature, but the heat coming off my bike and wallowing around me at highway speeds was astonishing. I couldn't believe it, and at one point, I was...

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and ideas on this topic. I still have not decided what I am going to do for sure, but for a $2000 difference, I leaning towards the Ninja. *The suspension is better on the Ninja, and I prefer a stiffer ride. *I can sit flat footed on Ninja whereas...

    Thinking of trading FZ6 for Ninja Z1000SX (sport tour) or FJ09 (MT09)

    Well, I am considering trading in my beloved 2008 FZ06 for a 2015 FJ09 or a 2015 Ninja Z1000SX. I ride 12 months of the year and find traction control, power select options, and ABS extremely luring. They are the features that caused me to start thinking about trading in my FZ6. The extra...

    Scorpion Alarm

    Re: Scorpion Alarm -- Thans for .... Hey mxgolf, It is now clear why you never got back to me about the shipping cost. That said, I was guessing someone else probably offered you more than what you were asking and is why I wasn't hearing back from you, despite me sending follow up emails...

    Shaky front end (no hands)

    I have the same bike (year etc) and experienced the same problem. I asked different motorcycle mechanics about the problem when I was buying stuff and/or getting the bike serviced. None of them gave me an answer that solved the problem. I changed my tires recently (from stock to RP4s), and I...

    Givi panniers?

    I have the E55 LUX and Keyless E41 cases from Givi. Like what another person said, it was an expensive setup, but for me it was worth it because my motorcycle is my only form of transportation. I purchased the E41 because they have more room inside when compared to the V35 cases. The E41 are...

    Polishing Exhaust Headers

    That is one thing that I did buy from Europe, a stainless steel radiator cover.

    Polishing Exhaust Headers

    When I bought my bike, I had a wish list of accessories, and the front fender extender was on the list for consideration. I have invested so much into it (much more expensive in Canada) at this point that accessories not bought have been, in a way, forgot. My focus is now more about money for...

    Polishing Exhaust Headers

    I always wondered how I might be able to clean the pipes. Mine don't look so good after 24km and with year around riding. I never heard of this stuff before, but I will be buying it for sure. Thanks.

    EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads –Too good and not allowing the triggering of the brake switch?

    Thank you all for your feedback. It is good to hear the outcome of the EBC front pad installation is not isolated to my experience only. In my humble opinion though, I feel it is unfortunate that the installation of the pads result in not activating the brake light under normal braking...

    EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads –Too good and not allowing the triggering of the brake switch?

    Recently, I had my tires changed. During the tire change, I learned that my front brake pads were worn and required changing. So, I ordered the EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads. Anyway, I found with the OEM pads that I had to squeeze really hard for them to really grip, and I was hoping that...
