The fire here in Southern California has been going on for some time now, but I didn't know how big it was until i read this article. The only two mountain roads close to me are Angeles Crest and Azusa Canyon and they are both going through a fire. The only other road that I know with some...

I got this from the kawasaki zx6 forum. Its a really cool series and they talk about the history of different manufacturers. It's really cool. If you like motorcycles, check it out. Check under the motorcycle section Turbo

After my FZ6 was totalled, I went out and shopped for a replacement. I've only owned a cruiser and sport tourer. I wanted to try something different so I decided to look for a crotch rocket. I really wanted to get an R6s or the 2003-2005 R6, but locally, there wasn't anything that would fit my...

This product has been SOLD. Thank you for looking :)

For 2009 Yamaha brought engine technology from their Moto GP M1 motorcycle technology and used it in the new R1. I'm not sure about you guys, but I think the new R1 sounds incredible! Anyway here are some clips. Thought I'd share. Enjoy...

Hello everyone, I was just checking a local motorcycle dealership's used motorcycle inventory and I found a nice 2005 Yamaha YZF600R (or Thundercat) with a little bit less than 700 miles. KBB says its worth about 4620 in pristine condition. Dealership quoted me for $5950. What would be a good...

Yesterday, I was riding to work in the rain and the van in front of me slams on her brakes. I in turn grab a fist full of the brake lever and skidded into the van. I don't remember the impact, but I remember waking up lying face up on the ground. When I got up I saw pieces of the FZ6 lying all...

After riding for so long with my summer gloves (Cortech Adrenaline) I've decided to purchase a nice pair of gloves for colder weather. Even though I am lucky enough to live in an area that allows me to ride all year long, there are those night and mornings that are too cold for my summer gloves...

Recently I have been trying to find a decent upgrade for the stock headlight bulb without going to HIDs or projectors. I first tried the Hella Extreme Yellow. These lights were barely yellow and didn't seem to perform any better than the stock bulbs at night. However, during the day, the...

My Motion Pro SyncPRO carb tuner came in the other day. I ordered it from Dennis Kirk for $105 with free shipping. The kit came with all the vacuum hoses and a few manifold adapters, I'm not sure what they are for, but for the FZ6 all you need are the vacuum hoses (which you have to cut yourself...

Hello fellow FZ6ers, After commuting on the motorcycle for about 5 months with a packback full of stuff, I decided to purchase some nice luggage for the FZ6. After seeing many nice pictures and reading good reviews, I purchased the black Cortech Sport Tail Bag from New Enough for $63 with...

Previously, I bought a pair of Pro Grip 724 Series grips to replace the hard stock grips in hopes of reducing vibration and also improving grip. The 724's were made of a much softer material than stock. Grip was good, but unfortunately they were also thinner, which just ruined the feel of the...

When I first bought the FZ6, I also bought whatever can of chain lube was at the dealership, which happened to be the Maxima chain wax. For about 2,000 miles I have used this to lube my chain at 250-300 mile intervals. When I first applied the Maxima to the chain, it was very watery and brown...

Recently a pebble got lodged between my FZ6's radiator fan and radiator. This caused the fan to get stuck and burnt itself out. I am not the only one that has experienced this. Instead of the fan having a shroud built into it, how about a shroud installed around the entire rear portion of the...

Hello everyone, Well I was idling in front of my driveway after a long cruise and I look down to see that the coolant temp was 233F. I shut off the bike and the temps goes rising up to 254 and starts blinking. I noticed that I did NOT hear the fan running. So I turn on and turn off the bike...

I saw this movie with the family. Out of 10 I give it a 100. It is that good. Don't watch it alone. Bring a date, wife, grandma, someone!! What is it about? (SPOILER ALERT) The movie is about earth becoming heavily polluted and a line of robots called "Well-E" are made to clean up the earth...

Decided to change out the hard stock grips with something that I thought would be more comfortable and grippy. To remove the stock grips, I ended up slicing them open with a razor blade. Before doing doing this on the throttle side, I found it easier to just remove the throttle tube and remove...

I have been riding for almost 3 years and I never have had any trouble with car drivers. Sometimes when I am lane splitting in bad traffic some cars are nice enough to even scoot aside to give me room. Two days ago I was on my way to work riding on the streets and this car in front of me was...
