I picked up the Purolator Pure One PL14610 oil filter and a gal of Shell Rotella T6 full synthetic oil. Am I setup with the ultimate engine saving super lube system?! Since this stuff was published a couple of years ago, have people had issues? Or is there something better now?

Well, I finally broke down and ordered some side cases for my FZ6. I ordered the Givi E41 Matte Black to go with my black 09 FZ6. this is the first step in making a super commuter/light touring FZ6. I ordered from Competition Accessories over the phone. By phone, they can get you set up with...

When I took the MSF beginner course ~7 years ago, it shaped my safety gear view in 2 ways. First, it was taught that riding in a long shirt, long pants, gloves, helmet and over the ankle boots is enough. Second, my teacher rode 100mi each way on his VFR. he wore a nice 2 pc textile/ ce padded...

I'm sorry, but has to be asked. How long can the Poker Run concept continue in biking? From what I can tell, it is about going from bar to bar drinking alcohol at each and continuing to drive. Is this what weekend biking is all about? Let's not forget the complete lack of safety gear by many to...

Looking for a GPS unit which will work good on my FZ6 and in a car. I would like voice and visual directions in the car through the unit's speakers. On the bike, I'm hoping it could work with a bluetooth helmet unit to communicate with me. Also, what do you think about mounting in something...

I have a Tourmaster Centurion Suit. I like the suit. Like my past Komine stuff, it fits good, but the knee pads don't hold their position well. I'm thinking someone who does alterations might be able to fix this. The knees pads are always rotated inside slightly and also have a tendency to...

I just bought this helmet and thought I would throw some initial thoughts down. GRAPHIC AND EXTERIOR The Wizard graphic is cool graphic with lots of color for matching leathers and getting away from black helmets. I like it with my Tourmaster Centurion suit or most anything else. The...

I'm new to the bike and new to the forum. I've had my FZ6 for 2 weeks and ~650 miles now. This thing is great. Got the 600 mi service done with Yamalube and Yamaha filter for $150. Not bad. Bike rides real nice in all weather. I was afraid it had too much power for rain days, but seems...

Hello. Just got my 2009 Yamaha FZ6 home and I realize that the handlebars need rotated. Did that and as I'm retightening, I realize that I don't know the proper assembly method. They appear to be a half clamp joint where on half the top and bottom touch and on the other half, there is a...
