Someone said the Bt21's are dual compound tyres, is this so? I have put 500km on the new BT21 rear and there is now problems with the front tyre 'tracking'. The front has done 14,000km and maybe the rubber is hard or the tyre has grown as suggested by Bidgestone. Maybe the camber of the road...

Nice trip boys, it gets a bit busy this time of the year aye!!!!Maybe the reason I move from my house at Lorne in to Geelong between November and March!!! I am right behind the Indian Cafe in Smith Street opposite the Police Station. For me though, it is of the best rides in Oz. Catch Ya...

To all you FZ6N and FZ6S riders, a safe and prosperous upright new year. Early night for me, I got up and baked 5 bags of South Australian potatoes for my nephew who has potatoe ovens. Can't find anyone to work New Years day!! Lucky I don't drink and a bit of extra cash to pay for the new...

I think the digital temperature readout is a good feature, especially in a hot country like Australia. i watch mine in summer like a Hawk. Have also noticed occassionally that small pebbles sometimes foul the radiator fan (see other post on this) and check it regularly for clearance. I think...

Maybe the FZ6 will still be made and updated, with the FZ8 as another model. I think this may be the case as there are currently 4 Yamaha 600cc road bikes available in Australia and they are popular. The other thing that is popular down here is the way so many other bikes have copied the dual...

If you look at the middle of this pic there is about 5 people all huddled around an old Kwaka 1200 touring bike. It belongs to a mate of mine who came down from Northern Victoria to join me and 30 mates for a week of riding on the Great Ocean Road. He is retired and spent the winter in...

Cleaning up my desks and heading for the road. To all my comrades here, have a safe break and if you are riding, stay upright! Peace. Respect. Honour. Rumpole

Thanks to the introduction of Kevlar padded (arse and knee areas) jeans, the market has reduced the price of leather pants. I only wear leather or Dri-Rider pants (rain gear with padding in knees and hips and arse) lets face it, leather works best and always has done aye. Rumps

Just used a hammer and screwdriver to remove my oil filter. Bike has done 13,000 km and I figure this was the filter put in by the dealer. Not impressed that it was put in so tight I needed to destroy it to loosen it enough to use the filter tool to eventually remove it. The less my bike goes...

Now I would never suggest that people ignore copyright laws and download music to MP3 devices for their listening pleasure. Especially to use whilst riding on discrete country roads where police seldom patrol. However, bearing this in mind, I have put together a couple of playing lists that I...

Here you are Wolfman. I have piles of texts on Constitutional Law on my desk and I find myself uploading pics of a mad modified FZ6 up for you!!! enjoy old fella, Merry Christmas all, Stay Upright and may you win a heap of bike detailing products in a Christmas raffle like I did...

Hey congradulations on your achievement. Yes, my work makes me proud and I actually donate part of my time to helping reduce the amount of deaths of indigenous people in custody over here. 2004 Palm Island death in custody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Seems in Aussie, if you are...

THIS BLOKE HAS SPENT HEAPS ON IT FOR NOT MUCH REWARD. Put a set of undertail exhausts, get rid of the handlebars and a general tidy up and I would say, $8000 is a fair price for it.

Congratulations from downunder. Christmas and birthday presents in the same month Well done and God bless you folks, Rumpole of ze Bailey

Last weeks 2 day ride in 30C heat. luggage is a Cheong Lee Sailbag (20 years old) held on the back seat with bungee cords!!! Travelling light, Aussie style. By the way, this 100km stretch of road never has any cops on it as they stick to the major highways etc. Would certainly like some...

A nice bit of information for Yamaha marketing and it didn't cost them a cent! Seems both are as popular as each other. Mind you, with a STRONG HEADWIND, I think the Fazer has a few advantages that outweigh the ease of getting to the gear where the fairing hinders access. Thanks for...

Why have you chosen your FZ6 style? (please Note: Countries without a Naked or Sports variant can submit according to what they would have purchased if the option was available)
