    Unable to order rear shock

    My rear shock on my 2009 FZ6 started leaking. I'm sure the construction on my building probably has something to do with that (I was dumb and wasn't covering it for awhile). A new OEM shock seems to be on backorder with no known date anywhere I look. I'm ok going used but I have no idea how to...

    WTB: Visor for Shoei Qwest, RF1100 or X-12 (CW-1)

    Anyone have any visors they aren't using for the Shoei Qwest (RF-1100 and X-12 visors should be good too, model number is CW-1)? My helmet is at the end of its life span and I probably should be looking for a new helmet at this point but in the meantime my visor (just like every visor that came...

    2 fairing stays and a headlight unit

    I have 2 fairing stays and a headlight unit (2009 Black FZ6). The stays are bent but not broken. I assume they are easy to bend back for someone who knows what they are doing. Though I'm just assuming since I am not someone who would know. I could take pictures if needed. The headlamp is in...

    Free Fuel Tank off of 2006 Blue FZ6

    Free fuel tank. I bought it off eBay because I was going to put it on my old 2006 Blue FZ6 but sold the bike before I ever had a chance to swap tanks. Since then it's just been sitting in my closet for the last couple years. It is in pretty good condition but it is used so expected wear and it...

    WTB for 09 Raven - Main front Fairing/cowling, Stay, Handlebar, kickstand and centerstand

    Bike got knocked over. Either the kickstand somehow snapped on its own and it just fell (which seems super unlikely) or someone backed into it without leaving a mark on that side of the bike . Kickstand I need asap as the bike is basically leaning against a wood board atm so will be buying...

    Oil Cover scraped open

    I was going down the street not too fast but probably faster than I should have being that there was snow on both sides of the road. The road itself was clear and as it was two blocks from my house I had been down the same road multiple times today and all was ok those times so I guess I was...

    NYC tires

    Hi, So I am at the point where I need to replace my tires soon and I was wondering if I should switch. In the approx 40K miles Ive put on my two FZ6s in the last 4 years (got a 2009 to replace the 2006 back in Aug) I have been running the newest model of the Michelin Pilot Roads available. 3s...

    Engine Seal

    Just noticed this. Last picture I had of this side of the bike was Sept 1st and it wasn't like this in the picture so I think it just happened. I've never had any kind of dropping of the bike since I purchased it though I do now put on lots of NYC miles. This is on my new to me 09 FZ6 that I...

    Frame snapped

    Last night I noticed some major frame damage on my bike (my 2006 FZ6 for those that dont know). Snapped on both sides near the base of the tank. I had a situation recently with a yellow-cab blowing a stopsign that just took off without checking even to see if I was ok not that long ago (I was on...

    Ungrounded blinker and valve stem

    Two quick questions. I had my front plastics hanging by my blinker wire (stupid I know but my said fairing is broken in half so it was the lighter smaller side) and it fell on the ground pulling the wires apart. I go to put them back together and I see this: (Please click link, I cant seem to...

    Summer Riding Gloves

    So I just got a warranty replacement credit on my summer gloves, Rev'it Bombers. I loved those gloves except for two things, I wish they had a tad bit more ventilation and they fell apart in less than a year (hence the warranty replacement). They are now out of stock though, except for size 3XL...

    Brake fluid leaking, now no brakes.....

    Sorry for the long post but I wanted to make sure I didnt miss out anything specific I may have done wrong. So I was leaking brake fluid (front right side ONLY). It seems/ed to be coming from the bolt at the very bottom of the brake line where it attaches to the caliper. I say seems because I...

    Drive In Movie (Upstate NY about 1.5 hours or less from NYC)

    Sooo I'm kind of in love with going to a drive in movie on my bike. First time I did it, it was just by chance. I happened to be going past the "66 Drive In" in Carthage, MO and they had a movie playing so I went in, kicked my feet up over the handlebars (pretty comfortable in my opinion on the...

    Fast then dead right turn signal.

    One day my right turn signals started flashing faster while the left one still blinked at a normal speed. I thought it was weird but assumed that maybe the bulb was about to go out. Sure enough the front right bulb eventually went out. I went and put in a brand new one and now the new one...

    WTB: Blue Front Fairing

    I have an 06 in blue. Only want matching color though if the 07 one in the same color fits (does it?) I would take it into consideration. This is as a result of my accident (car turned in front of me to catch exit at last second) this past summer in San Francisco. I put a post up back then...
