I did it while changing the tire, yes. It took 2 guys to get the tires changed. The problem is that they are low profile tires and its hard to break the bead. If I had it to do over again, I'd have it done by a shop.

I would like to report back that all is well and I'm back up and running again. The 05 wheel fit fine.

Thanks, guys. It's shipping to me today.

I can confirm that both wheels are painted black. I'm not sure what would cause a new part number.

I was changing the tires... I forgot to mention that.

Somehow I managed to crack the rear wheel on my 2006 fz6. The rear wheel's part number is 5SL Yamaha Y-4. I have found a used rear wheel off of a 2005 fz6, part number 5SL Yamaha Y-2. They look the same and have the same rear tire size. Will the 2005 rear wheel fit the 2006? Guys, I really...

Throttle to on and clutch engagement statements were so very accurate. I thought perhaps the clutch had issues until I read your post. Again, my old FJR had a mile of clutch engagement. I like the FZ6, though. It's a different experience. It revs to 14k, where the FJR revved to 8. You have to...

Chris: What an amazing response. I'll be going line by line through your post in the garage this weekend. The bike has not been sitting, it has fresh oil and filter, but I'm not sure about break fluid. I didn't ask about that one. It's amazing what as few as 50 miles on the bike will do. I...

First post! I just picked up a 2006 FZ6 with 20,000 miles tonight. This is my first bike since going without for 8 months (2004 FJR1300). I'm excited to be back on 2 wheels. Is there anything that I should check on the bike before considering it totally ready to ride? The only modification...
