    Never noticed til the weather got colder [ in New England ]. I regularly practice "panic stops" from the davice of a very seasoned friend of mine. My FZ-6 seems to be barely controllable in the rear during hard braking.And that's during rehearsed straight - line stops.Would stiffenning/...

    another Yamaha in the stable

    Eric,until I read this post ,I didn't know there was a litre class FZ in 2009.Other than the additional "Cajones",how heavier is your "09" Fz-1 to an "09 FZ-6 [like mine ?] While I earlly have no desire to go faster than I do ,I'm sure the X-tra torque & ponies are handy with a passenger.In your...

    As in which one is best.Lots of data & some great audio vid,s.I just couldn't glean the basic answer.What brand of Slip-on's [ if any ] will provide even a modest gain without installing a Power Commander or re-mapping in any form.I realize you can't create miraculous gains with only changing...

    How to do it guides

    Hey wrightme43,I'm curious about your pre-600 oil change idea.20 years ago,I would have thought,like you,the sooner,the better with new motors. Please correct me if I'm mis-informed,but I thought new engine oil has properties that accentuate break-in & should be used to the extent through the...

    Antone have any experience with " copart.com "

    It's kinda like an "E-bay" for bikes & cars. Isee some amazing deals,but you know the old saying," If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is " !!! First saw their add's on the Speed channel. I've seen some good eals [ even salvage titled bikes, for parts only ] that you can get for...

    Hi Boneman.Like many here,I'm new to this site & a new FZ-6 owner as well [ 2009,blue,still stock]. I clicked on the e-bay link to look at this Fender eliminator kit.

    Cutaway FZ6 engine

    Thanks so much Bikebiz.I thought it was me, during a few emergency hard stops.It does dive way too fast & hard.Which then biases me forward making the rear end start to swing.That's a cheap & easy piece of insurance. Much appreciated, westmask.

    Typical running temperature '09 FZ6

    Thanks Scott.I love the look you acheived.Very agressive. Thanks also for your input on whether it needed to be re-tuned [ mixture wise].That's one of my two biggest concerns.The other is ,while I want a better sound,in your opinion,is it still pretty quiet when not on the throttle much ? I do...

    Hi TownsendsFJR1300 . I'm curious about your post in that you changed to an aftermarket exhaust.I'm sure it was to increase H.P. but how much ? And what about fuel/air ratio changes.How did you accomplish this aspect ? Also,do you have a photo of the finished product ? I'm kinda surprised in...
