After over 6 years of ownership and 116,000km/72,000mi it has come time to part with my FZ6. I'm gonna miss her. She has carried through 10 provinces, 2 territories and 36 states. From as far north as the Arctic Circle to the far southern tip of Key West in Florida. She never left me...

I have had the Givi engine guards on my bike for about a year now. Mine is for the 04-06 year (Givi #TN354). I like having them more then the sliders as they definitely offer more protection and less chance of frame damage. While having them on I have taken the bike through some very rough...

Even with heated grips and a heavy pair of winter riding gloves I still inevitably end up with my hands cold on the outside yet roasting on the inside. There are many different options to solve this problem. You can use various handguards with different methods of mounting, or you can use a...

I have wanted to travel up north for some time. But to go where I would like I needed time off in June-August. My job does not give me the option of taking time off in the summer for the time being. However this year due to the Vancouver Winter Olympics I lucked out and was able to grab...

I'm leaving on a motorcycle trip in about an hour. Not as big as my previous ones, but likely more challenging. If you would like to see where I'm headed you can follow my progress HERE. Hopefully I see a few fellow FZ6 riders out there! :rockon:

Just a heads up for anyone looking for frame sliders. I have a set for sale. You can find pictures and info HERE.

I have a pair of Uncaged frame sliders for sale. These sliders use a 6061-T6 aluminum base with Delrin pucks that screw into the base. The base is anodized black, but has faded some over time. There is a small amount of "denting" to the edge of one of the pucks. Mounting bolts are in perfect...

Well I finally have had a little time to sort through some of the 1500 pictures I took on my trip this Sept ('09). I picked out about 450 that I thought were the better ones. It took me a long time agonize over and narrow it down to the best pictures. So, rather then delay posting them for a...

I am trying to decide where to ride to for my upcoming vacation. I have 18 days off starting on Sept 21st. I have tried planning several routes but am still unsure of where to go. I have considered a run down to Key West Florida or just a tour of the west coast to see some points I have not...

I took my FZ6 to Mt. Baker yesterday. I don't live far from the mountain but yet I have never taken the ride up. I have been missing out! I snapped a good number of pictures of the bike and scenery, so I thought I would share. The ride takes you from 63 feet up to 5104 feet.

I've had a idle problem with my bike ('06) for some time. When you blip the throttle at idle the rpm's will drop from 1260rpm down to about a 1000rpm. The engine speed will usually pick itself back up after 5-6 seconds without being touched. The problem happens frequently but also operates...

I am doing a much overdue oil change for my front suspension forks. I read over the instructions thoroughly before starting the job. As I was disassembling the first fork I noticed after pulling the spring out that the it seemed to have been put in upside down. The tight winding of the spring...

I am selling a factory Yamaha Top Case Mount and FAZR6 Fender Eliminator. I posted an add some time ago for them but did not link the add here in the local section. Both items are still for sale. More information can be found HERE. PM me or post here if interested. :thumbup:

I have a Yamaha factory top case mount that I am looking to sell locally (Fraser Valley, B.C.). You can see the mount on the Yamaha web site HERE. The mount is rather pricey at a list of $304.95 (Canadian). I believe it will fit all model years. Since it is a used item it is missing the...

I am planning on going for a ride this Sunday. Work has kept me very busy lately, so I haven't had any free time to ride. I am hoping that this weekend I wont be to exhausted to get out and do this. Here is a picture of my planned route. I have done this ride before. It's 1172km if you...

Last week my shipment of lights for my Givi V35 cases arrived. They are sold by AdMore Lighting. The lights add running light, turn signals and brake lights to your V35 cases . I previously had been using integrated LED tail/turn signal lights from Clear Alternatives. And while their brake...

Hello, I am so glad I have found another FZ6 forum to browse! Looks like a great place. I am the owner of a red '06 FZ6, with some 53k km of fun on the clock. Since this is my first post here I shall do my duty and post a picture of my bike! :thumbup:
