    Finally dropped/crashed the bike

    slow mo drop First of all thanks to the people in this forum for all of the posts and threads for new riders, especially the slow motion drills and practice suggestions and links. It is far easier and safer to figure out your new motorcycle (I'd say bike, but I have one of those too)...

    New windscreen..

    Puig windscreen Puig makes at least 3 windscreens for the FZ6: a standard and a touring (taller) both "strictly follow the shape of the oem windscreen" and a racing double bubble screen.

    Puig Windscreen Smoke

    I just installed a smoke Puig windscreen on my 2005 FZ6. It is thinner than the stock screen, it doesn't have the flange that fits above the headlights or the hooks to keep the mirror mount rubber down. First, the double bubble design gives more strength than the flat stock shape. Second, I...

    Do you wave to other riders??

    70 degrees in Knoxville today. A sportbiker dropped his left hand and waved as I approached, I gave him a big head nod. Made my day. Its the shared experience thing. "We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Ben Franklin

    The meaning of life?

    A Buddhist walks up to the hotdog vendor and says "Make me one with everything". A feeling of weightlessness, the illusion of great speed and the view from outside your body. A flawless shift, a perfectly executed corner, the Zen of motorcycles. Nice lines and beautiful curves (I could go...

    repair kit

    My used 2005 FZ6 had an owners manual but no tool kit. Could someone please tell me what is in the factory tool kit? Why does the underseat storage space have that strange shape? What tools and repair items do you carry? Bandaids (I'm kidding)? Tire patches and CO2 cartridges or an...

    New member welcome thread..

    Thanks Mike. I have taught kayaking on the Nantahala, Ocoee, Hiawassee, Pigeon, Chattahoochee and E. WA, N. ID. I'm not a Vol fan, my wife and I coached our daughter's soccer team for 5 years - give me a game well played, teams with heart and an emotional attachment. Ice and rain in...

    help me pick out the right slider

    I wish that I had found this forum before ordering my first set of frame sliders from ebaymotors. Knowing only that I wanted some kind of protection for my almost new motorcycle and seeing many delrin plastic sliders for sale on a "Yamaha FZ6" search, I ordered the extended length (4") and...

    New member welcome thread..

    What a fun ride! I took the MSF course in Atlanta GA in 1984 and didn't have reason or time to get on a motorcycle. I was driving a '71 Dodge Challenger R/T (440 cu. in. 4 spd., ask me about the engine mods) and teaching white-water kayaking. Twenty-three years later, the leather jacket still...
