Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I visited this site. 2009 hasn't been a very good year for me. I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, received a layoff notice recently and had my 2006 FZ6 Yammie repossessed today. Fun, fun, fun. I only had it a year and never in my wildest dreams thought...

Don't know where this thread should go but how's it going where you work? Where I work there's layoffs, paycuts and decreasing production. My health benefits now cost me 4 times as much as a month ago. How many of you have been laid off? Had a paycut? Or anything else? Hopefully...

The economy really got to me last year and I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on the last day of 2008. I decided to surrender my red 2006 FZ6 to the creditor since I owed more than it was worth. Not an easy decision. I borrowed money from my brother and bought a good used car that gets good gas...

I've got a 2006 FZ6 and the right side front turn signal is dangling. I know I didn't hit anything but think maybe someone parked too close and maybe hit it. Looking at it I can't figure out what holds it in. The opposite one on the left side is held in tightly but how? Does it just snap in...

Saw this on Los Angeles Times page. Feds Say Dirt Track Has Dirty Little Secret - Los Angeles Times Feds Say Dirt Track Has Dirty Little Secret By Peter Y. Hong July 22, 2006 in print edition B-1 When Kimberly Mao paid a local doctor last summer a little more than a million...

Here's my pick for ugly bike. 1969 MZ ES 250/2 Trophy That headlight and front fender are hideous! What's yours? Oh, and what do you win if you show the ugliest bike of all time? FREE AIR FOR LIFE!!! :cheer:

They sell them in India and they are only 153cc. Kinda cool looking but not near as fun as our bikes. http://www.vicky.in/straightfrmtheheart/tag/fz16/ http://fz16-forum.com

I don't have the paper manual but do have the .pdf manual and need to know what size the nut is but can't seem to find it. I found something that said 24mm but that's not it. I need to adjust my chain but don't have the correct size wrench and need to borrow one from a friend. I'm going to...

Suzuki introduced a new entry level naked 650 called the Gladius (priced at $6499). Looks kind of feminine, don't you think? Wonder how it will compare to the FZ6?

I just looked this up: convertibars.com I SWEAR I thought of this a couple years ago without knowing anything about ConvertiBars and wanted to call it AdjustaBars. I distinctly remember talking to a biker friend of mine about the idea and he's a helicopter mechanic and said he thought it...

This is a little embarrassing. I've had my FZ6 for 4 months now and have never put it on the center stand. Honestly, I tried the other day with a full tank of gas and couldn't get it up. Spare the jokes. :) Anyway, what's the best technique? Which foot do you use and where do you grab? I'm...

I stumbled on a site called bikepics.com and found old pics of the same year and model bikes I once owned. Kinda cool. Brought back memories of the great times I've had on motorcycles. What a ride. Here's what I've owned, so far: 1972 Yamaha CT2 175 Enduro 1973 Husqvarna CR250 1974 Honda...

Puig Racing Screen for Yamaha FZ6 '07-'08 Seemed like a good deal so I thought I'd pass it on.

What a bozo. What was he or she thinking? Looking for Shortcuts in Semi Trucks is BAD | C.K.E.S.K. That URL says it all. :jawdrop:

:( Last night on my way home from work at 4am I decided to twist the throttle on a stretch of freeway and hit 130mph. It was fun and exhilarating. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary then. When I got home though I was just about to park the bike and something sounded funny. As I was...

:eek: Read the explanation of what happened below the pictures. It happened in 2005 but could happen anytime. All Things Motorcycle - Honda Hits VW at 155 MPH

I love the disclaimer at the end: "not recommended in any way to everyday riding use". Haha. That road wasn't too twisty but is sure looked like fun anyway. Aprilia Tuono 1000 R FACTORY

I was out running errands on my bike and I came up to an intersection in broad daylight I've been through a hundred times. It's one of those intersections that can be confusing. It's angular and there's a hard right or a middle right or an outside right lane that can be taken but somehow I ended...

The question has probably been asked before but I was just curious at how much the R6 beat the FZ6 by. Was it not even close or not too bad? Just how fast does the R6 go anyway? Thanks.
