I finally took the plunge and bought a new front sprocket. I looked at the service manual and noted that it says to replace the lock washer, which looks to me like a washer with tabs that get bent up around the nut to prevent it from loosening. Seems like I have read stories of people's front...
I have red 2007, and I was never crazy about the black side pods with the kind of cheesy decal on top. I always coveted the full red side pods from 2006 models, but they cost in the neighborhood of $60 each, so I resisted the temptation to buy them new. A while back, someone was parting out a...
Just thought all might be interested in a little fact I discovered. Was working on a project to add an LED-adorned license plate frame with a tail light/strobing brake light feature provided by an electronic module I bought. Obviously needed to connect into the tail/brake light circuit. I...

I'm sure that many will agree that the stickers on the swing-arm provide useful information, but that Yamaha should have found a less conspicuous location to stick them. There have been several discussion regarding their removal, and I've been planning to remove mine. As was suggested in one...
I thought you might be interested in my experience getting a color-matched rear hugger for my ‘07 Red FZ6.
Right after I got my FZ6 and found this forum, I started seeing pictures of bikes with painted rear huggers, and eventually found some sources, for example this TCP. I really liked...
