I think you gotta use a higher scale to get more accurate. out of 10 Shinko Advance 005 Wet Traction 7 / 10 Dry Traction 9 / 10 Center Wear 10 / 10 Side Wear 8 / 10 Would buy these tires again -- Yes For the price/longetivity these cant be beat. Its a 100km highway ride just to get TO...

seriously. if it isnt related, move it to the bar... its there for a reason, this is FZ6 general discussion.

Many things can affect how long something takes to get out of the body shop. Most likely cause, a random part was on back order (happens much more often than youd think) and since body shops are bound by contract by the insurance companies to not release a car until it is fully returned to...

First day out (went to a parking lot to get a feel for the much bigger FZ than the MSF bikes) I laid it down. No idea how it happened. I think I just didnt put my foot out far enough while on a camber to my left and didnt have the leverage to hold it up. Down I went and broke my foot. I now...

im currently going through the exact same dillemma. I feel like I really want a supersport bike, and the gixxer fits the bill perfectly. But its an hour long highway ride to ANY sort of motorcycling roads around here, and im just not sure if my back will be feeling as positive about the change...

its not like if you find yoruself in a sticky situation that the FZ6 is going to take 30 seconds to find any sort of acceleration. being in a fuel efficient gear while commuting I can pull on the throttle and still pull on all the cars around me. Having a controlled low-end is a plus to me... It...

ive been contemplating the exact same thing for one of the new '09 R6 I say go for it...

I would NEVER suggest using WD40 as a lubricant on anything important. WD40 dries out very easy, and when it evaporates it doesnt leave much of a residual lubricant after, and actually makes things dry out/rust FASTER Itll be great for a while and then youll notice youll have to start putting...

my IQ has dropped more by reading this thread than the talk like a pirate one...

If you know CPR, or have valuable emergency situation training; then stop and help. If you were a witness to the accident; then stop and help. Otherwise just continue on. As you said, a crowd had already been there, the last thing they need is another body raking up valuable space, with a...

just cut the snorkel inside and outiside the box off. there is an opening where the air gets sucked into the airbox, I left the bottom on both the inside and outside to help direct air and not get a swirling air pressure, and then opened up the hole another 2 or 3 square inches. SLIGHT notice...

I bought mine in January at the International Bike Show.. they had brought the MSRP down by 3300 (its usually only 2300 off) on the '07s Got the bike for 6100, add in tax, delivery (middle of winter), set up and doc fees and I was $7099 OTD

Awesome story man. Had something similar the weekend before, did the same route (but started off on 22x, hit the 762 and went longview to kananaskis) and early in the ride we were trucking through the 762 at a verybrisk pace about to burst through the trees onto a straighaway, maybe 50 over the...

the low amounts of power below 8k is exactly what I want in a bike. Itll still pull faster than alot of cars, keeps me out of extra-legal trouble on my commute and helps with gas mileage. but pin it at 4k and let it wind out and youll experience whats known as the "FZ6-slingshot-effect" at about...

Yamaha clearcoat is notoriously thin. As with almost any japanese car/moto. There is no way around it... your going to get rock chips and your going to get scratches, some people get way too bent out of shape over little things like paint and "its going to rub" I get comments like that all the...

while in comm, just press the radio button once. It will turn the connection off, pressing it again will join you guys back up. I have found that 30 secs of silence (and sometimes hearing my brother justbreathing) just gets awkward so I turn it off manually all the time. Then either a good...

You need 7th grade math again! Just divide the circumference by pi and youll have diameter. go grab a tape measure yo

Consider it the lowball of the year, but its based off more the weight of my wallet than what I think its worth. Id have $350 cash in hand for the lights, ballasts and added wiring. Just cant dig any deeper, but im sure there will be someone who can

Ride it out. unless you are straight then lightly ease up on it. The issue with riding it out is that when you come to a stop, your foot will still be on the brake pedal, so unless the bike is leaning towards your shifting foot, the bike will start to tip. reflex and reaction time will be the...

I wish yamaha would replace the FZ6 altogether with the FZ6R that way you have the entry level FZ6R and the super sporty R6/R6S to choose from in the 600cc category. You would cover the price spectrum perfectly. Then create a dream, half-faired 750cc bike similar to the purposes everyone uses...
