2008 fz6 $3300 For sale is my '08 Yamaha FZ6 with 26,xxx miles. Overall the bike is in excellent condition aside from the minor cosmetic damage described below. The bike was down once (slow speed low-side), but the damage is cosmetic only and limited to a minor crack in the fairing and...

I too tried the Speedmetal LED kit, and I had the same problem with the H7 bulb. The bottom line is it just doesn't fit with or without the boot. There isn't enough clearance for the retaining clip to latch into place. I suppose with some modification I could make it work, but I was really...

I went to the one in Scottsdale two weeks ago. I rode the VMAX and the FZ-09. The VMAX is simply amazing, and it has all of the torque, but at the end of the day I left still wanting to keep my FZ6.

Well after a long delay from waiting for rotors and being out of town I got the bike back together, and it's fixed! The new rotors make it feel like a brand new bike. The old ones were totally shot. I still can't say for sure what caused the rotors to go bad, but I'm assuming it was a...

Possibly, The wheel bearings are new as well. I actually might have a straight edge lying around somewhere that would work. I'll have to rummage around for it.

OK, here is what I came up with. I bought a clamping dial gauge and checked the disc run out as well as the mounting flats. Installed on the bike the rotors have over 0.005" of runout (Note back to SAE here because I couldn't find a metric gauge). The mounting flats don't have more...

I should clarify, that's 0.09 mm not inches. I'm using metric because that's what the service manual uses. The spec is 0.10 mm. How would I check the mounting points on the wheel with the rotors off? Are you thinking of mounting the dial indicator and going from point to point?

Well I rebuilt the calipers, and the vibration is far less pronounced, but it's still there. The vibration is now more of a gentle pulsing. I double-checked the mounting surfaces for the rotors and sanded more of the paint off. There is now only the faintest trace of paint in the corners...

Thanks guys, yep the bike is not being ridden right now. I just need to wait on the seals. I've had the bike for 1.5 years, so I can't imagine anything the previous owner did messed it up. I'm thinking the initial vibration was caused by the powdercoating, and perhaps that contributed to the...

For the past two months I've had issues with shudder/vibration under braking from the front end. The shudder and vibration started after having the wheels powdercoated, and now it has become progressively worse to the point where I feel like I'm one of those mechanical bulls. A friend had a...

New member but long-time lurker here from AZ. I've had my FZ6 for about 1.5 years now, and I use it every day. A few shameless pics of my bike: Me riding to Jerome, AZ a few weeks ago. Riding around ASU East/Williams Gateway Airport Making a quick beer run. Current pic of...
