    Bi-Xenon projector with angel eye installed

    Gozilla, If I understand you correctly, these kits come with either 2 h4 projectors or with 2 h7 projectors. So, if 2 forum members decided to both do this mod, then they, theoretically, could buy both kits and swap one light from each kit. Is that correct, or is there any side specificity...

    normal coolant/engine temperature.

    There have been several instances of fan motors burning out on this bike. Usually this has been because a rock is kicked up and lands inside the fan casing and wedges between the fan blade and the radiator so that it cannot spin, then when the fan kicks on due to temp, the fan motor burns up. It...

    is the fz6 for me?

    I have to go into work and don't have time to address all of your questions, but here is what I will say. There are several people you do use the fz for touring and quite well. There are many options for locking hard luggage and you will pend about $800-$1000 the half fairing does a...

    FZ6 is so...sexy?

    dude, has it ever dawned on you that this has nothing to do with your bike. . .

    Did you get it new or used?

    New, sort of. I bought my 07 new in 08 (0 miles) but I made the deal over the phone about a wk after seeing it and deciding to by. I had to haggle for a while to bleed every last penny out of them. It was at a dealer 200 miles away and I had to have my dad go pick it up for me. So, I never got...

    Well, I finally had a "duh" moment

    Dude, sorry for the mishap. I had a similar injury to my bike when a kid pulled it over in a parking lot and the crank case cover had a little paint scrape in it. I fixed it by taking a large flat piece of cardboard and cutting a hole in it that was approximately the same size as the...

    Fz6 vs Hayabusa

    If in fact you do need more top end then 154mph (which I highly doubt) on your fz then this is my mod suggestion. Look closely, it's there in the middle section of the bike. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/content/images/600/09ms_fz1_blu_s1_3a26582f.jpg or perhaps you want to switch to a...

    Encounter with a Harley rider

    I believe I would have responded like this. . . "Like a lawnmower ehh? I must admit that it sounds pretty domesticated when it is idle, and it's not much to look at, but you wouldn't believe how it screams when you really start to ride it. It's pretty much like your mom!!!"

    this is for wrightme43.......

    And just to provide a little balance back, most of the people voting (the american public) are useless, delusional, entitled, morons who are easily persuaded by a man who is nothing more than a good actor. The american public is a stupid mob.

    I got backed over by a van.

    I, like you, am hesitant to call a lawyer. I can't stand all of the ridiculous suits here in the states. But after finding out that she was behind you then pulled to the side, backed over you, and then did not get out to see if you were ok, or pull the bike off of you or . . . I think you...

    What to do with your helmet?

    I only carry my helmet with me if there is a security issue leaving it locked to the bike. They way I see it, if you can't put it together that I am dressed in these goofy boots and a big a$$ suit for a specific reason, then you're an idiot and I don't give a $#!+ what you think. I do worry...

    First Accident on a Bike

    dude, glad your ok. someone may have already said this, but you need to make sure that they are not only going to pay for damage/replacement of your bike but also for your helmet, jacket, jeans, shoes, gloves, wristwatch, eyeglasses (anything that might have been damaged). I mean you were...

    Carb vs. Fuel Injection

    I think people above have managed to do a pretty good job identifying the advantages and disadvantages of carbs vs FI. So I will just say this. . . In regards to the fz1, I know that the FI system on the current generation has been the subject of some debate because it is not as smooth...

    2010 fz6 all new!

    I think Defy is right. it looks like someone doctored a pic of an r6 with fz features. I still think it is a pretty cool look though.

    What model FZ6 have I bought?

    I am fairly certain of this. In the US, the 2004-2006 models are the original fz6 model and the 2007 models have a revised faring and the updated instrument panel, and a vent at the tip of the windscreen. In Europe things are a little different. There is a fz6, a fz6 fazer, a fz6 s2 and a fz6 s2...
