there is some great advice given, much better than my humble words for sure. living with regret on what you could have done and not done is not nice. it keeps nagging you your whole life, so go for it. your current friends will still remain and if you can skype etc, it will not be too hard...

to the op - as you can see everyone is different so as such no helped you decide! that being said i d love a v twin as my second bike for put putting along and using it s torque. yamaha bulldog or mt01 spring to mind

great move dan. i must do something about my weight issue too, i have to lose at least 15kg to be good. keep it up. to find the will and keep going with it is the most difficult for me.

the k3 was never a racing helmet. it just has the graphics copied over from the gp tech (the agv racing helmet) that rossi used. its a good helmet, but dont let anyone fool you by telling its the officaial racing helmet used by rossi.

i would re paint it black and buy a decal off yamaha. that way the decal colour matches perfectly to the bike. the problem i found with sticker shops is that they never have the exact colour of the bike so it would look a bit off. that s the best solution for a clean look. or else buy a...

i feel sorry for you and angry for what happened, there s no justice and people dont know where to draw the line as to what is their s and what is not. Erci' s suggestion is actually very good, find an older bike that doesnt need a lot of tinkering. many can be had for decent prices. it will...

hi xavias, first of all im very happy that YOU were unscathed in the accident and the bike has minimal damage. i would check the handlebar also, since the bar end took a large hit, it may have torqued the handlebar out of shape without you noticing at first glance. rotate the steering to...

if you can somehow make them an xl i ll have them :BLAA:

since you miss your klr and so dirt riding, i go with the two bike option, if you do not tour a lot two up, then there is no need for the fjr, the fz1 or ninja will do it for me, i d get the fz1 over the ninja because it s cheaper to get 2nd hand (like you stated), so you would have a bit more...

redger actually yes the fz6 exist detuned as well before the fz6r (xj6 for us europeans) came around. when the fz6 s2 came around it had the full power, but the fz6 s1 (namely the 06 model with the black frame) kept being produced as a detuned model. i don t know if this practice was carried...

the worst issue i find is if the fuel tank is rusty and the fuel injectors are gummed up. you need to spend a lot of money on top of the 3000 to make it running as it should. cleanining a rusty fuel tank is not always a simple task, so beware

i put xjr bars on mine. a bit wider too with more rise, you sit more upright and the front end feels lighter. the only issue i had were the original stock brake lines, they are a bit of a strectch to fit the master cylinder over the bar but cables seem to be ok (even if the throttle is sticking...

as far as i know the 78hp retained the same shape of the 04 - 06 fz6 (S1 series) even if it came out in 07 onwards it still retained the old shape. the new s2 versions came with full power. i dont know about the position of the bracket as i never checked on mine

good to see you upbeat about the accident. heal quick and take it easy during rehab. the bike doesnt look too bad, the plastics seem to have taken the brunt, the forks seem straight. nice lid btw

based on looks alone ( i dont have aftermarket exhaust so i cannot offer an expert opinion) i d choose 1) 2 bros 2) arrow/Mivv. they seem to fit the fz best withouth them sticking out farther than the taillamp. as i said i cant say anything about sound

love the projectors. they changed the look of the bike

i had a tank cover from top sellerie but i removed it. first off they did not send all the straps to keep it tied down securely. the quality is very good otherwise but as i said they ommitted two of the securing straps. it used to catch a lot of dust under it and scratched my lacquer a bit so i...

i have found this site that states colours there is one named DNBME yamaha blue stone its called. Yamaha Archived Articles: FZ6/Fazer History: all models, all colours 1998-2009 - Page 3 go to page 3 and you should see it the first one under the 2004 caption

the deep purplish blue metallic (DPBMC) is actually the yamaha racing blue (team yamaha blue), so i bet its different than what you have on your fz here's a pic of dpbmc

that color scheme only came out in 06 so its not that common, to come by. congrats on the purchase. very neat looking
