Decided to Sync the throttle bodies on my '07 FZ6 this afternoon. Read the service manual and this forum to get some hints. I bought my FZ6 at the end of June '07 and have 5120 miles on it. I decided that it was time to do some routine maintenance. I have a Morgan Carbtune Pro and decided to...

Does anyone know if Purolator makes an air filter that will work with the FZ6. I do not really want a K&N and I do not want to pay Yamaha dealer prices. What are the other FZ6 owners using? I can not seem to find a motorcycle cross reference for Purolators, WIX, etc.

My co-worker let me ride his '02 FZ1 which has 22,000+ miles on it today. I have to say that the ride is much the same as the FZ6 plus a few extra pounds. The biggest difference I noticed was how much low end torque the FZ1 had and if I didn't down shift the bike would just manage to power out...

Had my first spill off the FZ6 today. :( Was making a left hand turn into my housing subdivision and some guy thought it would be good to see how fast a motorcycle could stop and pulled out in front of me. I think I grabbed the front brake a bit harder than I should have, however the bike...

Strange Noise Although I am newbie at riding, I am thankful to have bike riding friends who have let me try a couple of helmets and much to my surprise I have heard different noises emanating from my bike, or at least I thought so. My first helmet was a viper v200 which felt cheap, but was...

Fixed my Problem I just bought an '07 FZ6 and stalled it at a left turn light. After several car horns and people giving me the finger I thought my bike was defective since I could not get it to restart until I eventually put it in neutral. I got home and rechecked this scenario to prove to...
