I drive a 2000 Saab Viggen, modified to make a stupid amount of front-drive power. These days, though, I get most of my go-fast thrills on the FZ6. Thrills come more easily when you're not wrapped in steel. Better gas mileage too. And the Viggen is partial to premium.

The tall screen looks good to me, but the way I read their site Cee Bailey doesn't sell a windscreen for the '04 to '06 FZ6.

Thanks for all the responses. I don't mind the way they look, though the one for the '07 and newer looks like a cleaner installation. What are those white stripes on the earlier one? A clamp of some sort? This gadget would be a bit less than $100 with shipping. I guess I need to compare...

Has anyone tried one of these? They look like they would be effective. Laminar Products for Yamaha FZ-6 I had a nice ride this afternoon, but it was a bit windy, and I'd like more wind protection.

Good price... no wonder the used bike prices are also down.

I'm curious... what are they asking for a brand new '09?

Nice tutorial... Thanks!

That's also plausible... I usually take the tank bag off before I jockey the bike around, but this time I didn't for some reason.

Thanks... that sounds like a reasonable answer, when I had absolutely no idea!

The bike is a 2006 with about 8200 miles. I've owned it for 1,000 miles or so. I rode home from work 50 miles. While jockeying the bike into position in the garage, when I cranked the bars all the way to the right, the check engine light came on and an odd noise was emitted. Sounded like a...

I pay about $330 per year to insure 3 bikes with two riders, myself and my 20-year-old son. That's for full coverage with $500 deductible. The bikes are an '86 Honda Nighthawk, '07 Ninja 500, and my '06 FZ6. My Allstate agent says that Allstate and Progressive are the only companies who...

I'm talking about the New York Harbor price, which is the biggest market for trading commodities. The individual gas stations will always pay more than the New York Harbor price.

Actually, I am seeing spreads between PBOB and RBOB of anywhere between 15 and 35 cents per gallon, New York Harbor price. Maybe 20 cents on average. FYI, RBOB means reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending. PBOB means premium RBOB. Refineries don't generally make gasoline any more...

FYI, looks to me like an '04 or '05.

As a recent FZ6 buyer, I would recommend you take the mods off and sell them separately. Potential buyers probably won't know what mods they will want, so they won't be willing to pay you top dollar for the mods. It's a bigger hassle, of course, and it will take longer, but selling the mods...

How do you define "cleaner?"

Still 90F in Houston. I took the scenic route to and from church for a meeting this morning, got in 50 miles all together. The new (used) Corbin seat works well. Rain is threatening for this afternoon though. I hope it clears up. Some friends of my wife are getting married this afternoon...

Does anyone know if the OP ever bought an FZ6? He hasn't posted here for a long time, though this thread lives on.

I'm afraid our plant has no Delta V. We're all Honeywell. But though I do a little bit of everything, the biggest part of my work is on multivariable control applications, not down in the DCS system.

The manual says regular, so I use regular. I generally use Chevron, or another tier 1 gasoline.
