Raining pretty good in SF today, when braking my bike skidded/swerved and went down on the right side. Broke some of the fairings as per the photo: Mechanically seems ok, but the forks need to be slightly re-aligned and I'm bringing it to my shop today to have them inspect the bike (it still...

I'm going to a dealer demo day this Saturday morning, and I've booked a group test ride for the Yamaha Super Ténéré. I've not ridden many bikes besides the FZ6 (Ninja 500, Suzuki Savage 650, Yamaha SECA II, Yamaha 125 dirt bike and whatever 250 nighthawk they taught the MSF off). Any of you...

Has anyone here ever had their bike custom tuned by a professional in conjunction with a device like a power commander? What kind of different does it make on the FZ6?

I'm going to get some heated grips when the weather turns cold but I'm told that hand guards can really make the different by cutting the wind. What's the current recommended standard for FZ6 use?

I have a full sized tool kit at home, but I'm not much of a wrencher. However, I am curious what tools (sizes and types) one should carry with one on a road trip assuming you have room for a reasonable amount. I have the basic FZ6 tool kit under the seat but I assume there are some better ones I...

It would appear the Givi windscreen is 5.25" higher, while the Yamaha is 4" higher. I've read in reviews of the Yamaha by 6' tall people that they had wished it was 1" higher, so I'm leaning towards the givi right now. Thoughts?

I found these: GIVI PLX351+351 Kit - PLX Series Sidecase Mounting Kit-Yamaha FZ6 (04-06) via another thread but it's an old one. Originally I was in contact with Twisted Throttle and the guy told me they don't make PLX racks for the 04-06 FZ6, but this link would seem to prove them wrong...

I'm soon to pull the trigger on some hard luggage. I already have the v46 topcase, so I could either get the tubular hard luggage rack and get an "E" series case (e.g. E460) for about $190 / case or pay extra for a "PLX" rack and then about $490 for a pair of V35 cases. So it's basically a...

Can you guys recommend a good tank bag for the FZ6? I realize at times I want to bring a small amount of stuff and leave my v46 tail bag off, as well as have the ability to put some directions on the bag.

1. When in first gear on the FZ6, it is not smooth. It is very difficult to maintain slow, smooth speeds in first gear, I typically switch to 2nd, but at times when I need first it has a very revvy acceleration. 2. The clutch lever is very difficult to pull compared to other bikes...I tried...

In the city, I rarely need to shift past 2nd gear...I ride 0-20ish in 1st, and 20-40ish in 2nd. On the highway I tend to cruise between 6k and 7k and shift when I feel I'm losing the power band. I don't think I've ever broken 7500 rpm. When do you guys hit 8000-10,000 rpm? Is this a...

Are the rear amber/yellow turn signal lights on the US 2005 FZ6 supposed to be lit up at night? I thought they should be but then googled and someone said they are not supposed to be running at night unless you indicate a turn. Additionally what about the rear brake light? Should it be...

Which fender eliminator kit do you guys recommend that's also CA legal?Perhaps one that uses the OEM signals?

I have zero mechanical sills. Assuming I was to pay a professional to covert my FZ6 to an FZ6-N how much labor costs are we talking? I think the kits run ~$850? Not seriously considering it but very curious. The FZ6-N is far better looking in my opinion.

I didn't ride for a few weeks and the battery doesn't have enough juice to turn the engine over. I have 2 options: 1. I have a trickle charger, but I realize the battery is under the tank. Can I easily remove the tank myself, with fuel in it, alone or should I get help? I'll install the leads...

I've seen a few around, and while they are certainly a good looking sports bike, I am wondering why they would fully fair a standard motorcycle and additionally reduce the power? Wouldn't someone wanting a sportier styled bike want clip-ons and MORE power?

My bike sleeps outdoors and my last cover was misplaced, lost or stolen. It was slightly too small too. What is a recommended brand and size of waterproof cover?

Do any of you guys have an iPhone mount for the bike? Also, whats the best way for me to add a cigarette style or USB charger?

With my previous bikes I would use a combination of front and rear brake. Recently when doing so on the FZ6 I used too much rear and skidded out a little. I wasn't going fast but it made me realize when I put my foot down, I put it down too hard in comparison to the front brake. Recently I've...
