    I am toying with the idea of changing the rear sprocket

    Goals are simple. A bit of extra umph in the lower RPMS, not a wheelie machine (not yet at least :D. I do not ride on the highway and rarely go over 80 mph. Thankfully this bike gets out of first around 55mph, but even then I find myself climbing up those RPMs to get that power on the street...

    What oil do you guys use?

    This topic has probably been asked, and beaten to a pulp but it's 2019 and I'm bringing it back :) I ordered an OEM oil filter + that $15 tool from yamaha to remove it. Going to do an oil change soon, I was lazy and did not change my ~900 miles I had on the last oil change before putting it...

    Want to upgrade brake lines

    Getting ready for spring 2019, I ordered a handfull of goodies. New Yamaha 5gh oil filter, air filter, going to pickup a battery just because. I've got a few extra bucks and would like to replace the stock rubber brake lines. I did it on my other bikes and love the difference. However this bike...

    Fazr6's Fender Eliminator installed

    Worked fine with my Delkevic exhaust, like it much better than the huge stock one. This is exactly what I was looking for, I do not care for aftermarket turn signals. Shoutout to member rivettm, he sent me this kit. Very happy with it :D

    BD43 / Dual Headlight Mod - Best tutorial?

    I've been meaning to do this mod. I don't mind splicing/soldering. Every time I look up the process is get discouraged because the posts are so old and do not have pictures. I'd prefer to have the method that disables the lo-beam filament when I put on the high beam. From what I can tell...

    Fender Eliminator - Any instock options to use stock turn signals?

    Unfortunately a lot of the data for the FZ6 is pre-2010. Sellers and products are not in stock or available. What is the recommended fender eliminator? I know the FAZR6 kit allowed you to use the stock turn signals which is cool. I'm not crazy about integrated LED brake/turn signal setups but...

    Arching / Rattling sound when accelerating - sound like its coming from the stator

    I've noticed this sound since I got the bike - 09 with 4K miles, especially when leaning the bike to the right. Do not hear it when leaning the bike to the left (left handle bar towards the pavement). I'm not sure if it is getting louder or I'm just starting to notice it more. I installed the...

    Make your FZ6 key into a SnapOn screwdriver

    This is a neat project that was introduced to me by a friend. This friend is very is a professional drifter in Japan and does this to all his keys and offered to turn one of my spare keys on my Ninja into a SnapOn screw driver. I sent the key to Japan and a few weeks later I recived this awesome...

    Delkevic - Best bang for the buck exhaust?

    I'd like to order an exhaust for my 09 FZ6 next week. The Delkevic seems to be the best bang for the buck, running at $400. Love the exhaust tips, wish they stuck out a tiny bit less but still cool none the less. I've noticed a handful of China kits for sale. I'm assuming that the Delkevic is...

    Bridgestone BT-016 - Any good?

    These are the tires I just had put on my bike. Second choice was a 2CT Michellin, but I liked the sound of Made in Japan tires so I went with them. I now noticed that a lot of the reviews for them are from the ~2010 era so I'm suspecting that they are old tech. The shop wanted to offer Pirellis...

    Getting used to the throttle on the FZ6

    Hi Everyone, new FZ6 owner here. Came from four (yes 4) years on a Ninja 250. I still love that bike, has a lot to offer other than power. I picked up a 2009 FZ6 with 4k miles on it in near mint condition. Love this bike as well and holy moly it has a lot of power. One thing that is taking...
