    FS: 2006 Yamaha FZ6 $3500

    Sorry to let go. It's been a fun ride. I am located in Las Vegas, NV, specifically Henderson-area. I'm selling my FZ6, I have had it for about 6-8 months. It is in great shape no issues with it at all. Replaced the oil about 100 miles ago. Needs some chain lube applied. It has roughly...

    Installing on/off rocker switches

    Where would be the optimal place to install some? Turn on/off angel eyes, led strip, etc. And per electrical standards should you wire it into the negative or positive wire? Obviously if you cut power to either you will lose power but what is the "proper" way? All this on an 06 FZ6. Thanks.

    Just purchased heated liner

    Amazon.com: Firstgear Warm & Safe Heated Liner Motorcycle Jacket - 90 Watt XXX-Large (50) Black: Automotive That's what I bought. I am a pretty big guy and wear 3XL sizes for the most part. My jacket fits but it is kind of short. I should have a 3XLT but it's kind of hard to find jackets that...

    Help! Recharge battery on 06 now broken fairing

    This has got to be, by far, the STUPIDEST design I have seen, yet. You have to remove the 2 inner fairings on the 06 to lift the gas tank up. There are 2 10/12mm bolts physically holding the tank down then the end of the inner fairings continue to prevent it from being lifted out. I...

    Painting your fairings

    What type of paint and what is the process to repaint your fairings? I'm thinking I want to go ORANGE. It's so pretty and bright! My Porche Racing wheel for my PS3 is Orange and it looks so sick, would definately love my bike orange.

    Heated Glove Liner or Grips?

    I would figure the heated glove liner = better since you can get your whole hand warm without gripping and it keeps you warm when you want to rest a hand off the throttle or clutch for a bit. Any recommendations either way? It's getting pretty cold out here.

    Copying your Yamaha Key @ Lowe's / Walmart / Home Depot

    Too Much Oil?

    I think I may have put too much oil in my FZ6 when I dumped it and replaced it. I let it empty out completely from the crankcase and oil filter line and filled it back up with 3 quarts. I think it might be slightly under 3 qts but I have been unable to find a 100% "level" surface to actually...

    Passed BRC!

    Passed BRC today, barely. Got the maximum amount of points off possible without failing. Had issues with the usual U-turn and stopped too slowly during the quick stop, however in my defense I'm pretty sure I was going too fast. Going to DMV in the morning :)

    Washing my bike / replacing coolant

    What's the deal? 50/50 people keep saying you can pressure wash or not pressure wash. I changed my oil last night and got oil on the pipes =( figured I may as well just give her a good cleaning. Can I just go to one of those washer places and do it myself or what? I was also going to...

    Replace Chain & Sprocket myself or pros?

    Doesn't look TERRIBLY difficult, however, I was possibly going to be buying some Dunlop Q2's and I called a local shop. They told me it would be $85 for installation with balancing. The Chain & Sprocket set they were going to sell me would be $255 (not sure brand off hand) and just an...
