Have an 09 FZ6 with 7400 miles. After having a prospective buyer ride last week, pushed it into my driveway where it sat for 1 week. Another buyer was looking at it, was about to ride when we realized the front brakes were locked. Never had that happen before. Any ideas what caused this & a fix...

I bought a used 2009 FZ6 2 years ago. The previous owner had installed a PC5, KN air filter and 2 Brothers exhaust. When I leave work every afternoon, the highlight of my day is the sound of my exhaust when I roll up to the stop sign leaving work. That glorious popping and snapping gives me...

I installed a motodynamics intergrated rear light and customled flushmount front signals. You can get the plug-in that corrects the blink rate from customled for a good price. Easy install and look great.

I installed one of these about a month ago. Very easy install & really cleans up the rear of the bike.

Where to begin. In the last few months I've gone a little nuts on my baby. New Puig winscreen, belly pan, Pilot Road 3's, CustomLED flush mount turn signals, intergrated rear light, bd43's dual headlight mod, gear indicator & swingarm graphics from our friend FAZR6. Love the way changing out the...

I ride to work most days (about 6.5 miles, 8-10 minutes), & have to wear slacks & polos to work. I always wear my armored jacket , gloves & helmet, but don't have riding pants. I have a pair of riding shoes but spending 8-10 hours on a concrete floor has stopped me from wearing them every day. I...

Had my new PR3's installed last week. Went for a nice ride Sunday. It was a pleasure feeling comfortable leaning much further into the twistys. Didn't have much confidence in the old tires. Talked to a tire rep while getting them installed, he raved about them. And I didn't even buy them from...

I agree with the above replies. I live on the Alabama gulf coast & it's very breezy this time of year. I only weigh 145 lbs. so I find myself getting pushed around pretty good in cross winds. You just have to be aware of the conditions.

53 here. The best was when my 30 y.o. daughter took me to pick up the bike. "Dad...that's not what I thought you'd be riding",lol.

Thanks for all the tips, I let it soak in WD40 overnight, gave it a few taps, used a cheater bar & finally broke it loose. The filter was tightned the same way. Used a pair of channel locks to breake it loose. I was serious about the dealer cost for an oil change. $99.95 at the local dealer...

I suspect it's a dealer thing myself. I had all the right tools, made sure of that before I started. An a**hole with an impact wrench can make your life miserable. $100 for an oil change is pretty good incentive to make it hard on a diy'er. Just my frustrated $.02 worth.

Thanks for all the tips. I was using a new 17mm socket. Local dealer wanted $99.95 for an oil change so doing it myself seemed like a good idea. I used to work construction so I've had plenty of tool experience. I soaked it with WD-40 & left it for the night. It reminds of a time years ago when...

Apparently the previous owner of my 09 FZ6 used Metropolis Yamaha to change the oil, while Superman was working. I have almost rounded off the oil drain bolt and it has not loosened at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Makes me feel pretty good about my deal. I bought a 2009 with 3,036 miles, in great condition. Has a power commander and after market exhaust. Got it out the door with a new helmet for $5,154. Best money I ever spent.

Just joined the forum & ordered a shirt. Just bought a used 2009 FZ6 today. Only rode it home but plan on hitting the backroads tomorrow. The short ride home convinced me I made the right choice.
