Hey everyone! I am finally back and riding! Bike is back from the pushover repair and all is well again. I got a new tank put on the bike, and was wondering if it is worth getting a tank pad on it. The old tank did have some scuffing right where you touch the tank, but it was buffable. Will a...

Any day you see three yamaha's lying on their sides, you must cry. Friday June 21 my father woke up to this out front of our house. Some A$$hole decided that he would vandalize our bikes. We called the cops and have been looking for the culprit since. Been a bad month. The two FZ's both have...

So I've been reading around as well as my dealer telling me that you can fit some R6S engine parts; like the camshaft and others, into the FZ6. I was wondering if anyone has done this and could tell me what the pros and cons for doing any engine mods are. Haven't really found anything I have...

Just installed them on the bike today. I am HIGHLY impressed with the product and the total transformation of the FZ's front end with them in place. No more nasty jarring over repeated bumps, can't feel train tracks like I am on a pogo stick and the brake dive is definitely less. Much more...

Hey all my fellow FZr's! I am having my dealer do some minor maintenance for me while the weather is HELL!! (It snowed last night...) I am doing a minor suspension upgrade, and I need to change the fork oil so I am getting my dealer to switch it for me. As I am doing this, should I get them to...

Hi ya'll. I am in need of some help from the forum! I've been looking at the Yamaha Europe website and I would like to order a few things they sell in Europe to put on my bike. Canada doesn't offer anything. My problem is I can't find a site that will ship to Canada. Been searching for about 5...

Hi ladies and gents. My fiance has just passed her motorcycle training course, and she had the chance to ride many bikes but all small. She hates cruiser style (god I love her) but she is really tiny. About 5'2 and weighs 110 soaking wet in full gear. The ninja 250 was a little tall but not too...

So I've been a bit busy working on the bike lately. I just finished installing a Racetech 1.0kg/mm spring in the front and Hel lines all around with EBC HH pads to match. I can say what a difference. Bike stops and handles like a new machine. I didn't bother changing the fork oil to a thicker...

I seem to have a problem installing my rear brake pads. I have EBC HH pads, and I have installed them but for some reason they do not seem to be working. The problem from what I can tell is that they are too narrow. My old nissin pads are thicker then the new ones. When I installed them, the...

Just finished adding the Rizoma stuff to my bike. Took a little longer than expected, but no more then 3 hours from start to finish. I had a hell of a time getting the old grip off the clutch side, and instead of filing off the tabs in the plastic housings I drilled two holes into the bars after...

So the past friday, myself, my girl and my dad spent 4 hours drooling at the motorcycle show! Best $20 I have spent so far this year. We were looking a lot for a first bike for my girl, and a second bike for the dad. Anyways, a quick recap! The Enfields had a rather large display set up...

Hello everyone. I am in kind of a dilemma. You see my dad wanted some new red brake lines for his bike for christmas. As far as I know, the only legal coloured lines are Hel. Now this is a good thing, as Hel has a good reputation for making nice lines. The problem however is the company itself...

So looking at these two bars, was wondering if anyone has compared them against each other. I know the FZ1 bars are cheaper, and that our bar ends fit perfectly in them and the seating position is more forward. Love to know if the Rizoma's are any higher up or not, and if less or more...

So being the motorcycle geek I am, I love to search up all things bikes. Lately I've been hearing a bunch of news about how brands are failing the test of time when it comes to their bikes lasting and being reliable. So I took it upon myself to try and figure out some scores on a scale of 10 on...

So I just read about 50 threads on seats, and have yet to really find the answer I was looking for. I ride two up quite a lot, and my girl hates the stock seat. She compared it to riding a piece of 2x4 down a gravel hill... Anyways, I have buns of steel, but I would like some comfort too...

Yamaha Canada has just announced the release time for the 2010 models!! Tuesday September 8th at noon eastern time. I am so giddy I can't wait!!:D

So today I was out with dad and we ran into a couple who had the same combination as us, an 07 FZ1 and FZ6. Was wondering if either are members on here? As well, saw another blue 07 on Macleod at the lights at Glenmore. Was heading south. Anyone from here?

So I read over a bunch of other boot posts, and while they helped somewhat, my issue has never risen. I have been looking for a really nice pair of boots that are safe (running shoes don't cut it), but I also need a set that aren't too racy looking, and I can walk around in them for a while...

I've been looking through different sites and reading many posts on here about front fork mods. Now the FZ6 does have a bit of a weaker front fork, not to bad, but I would love to see what options are out there to replace or enhance it. I read that you can do the R6s forks, but that can be...

Alright guys and girls, I have a dilemma. Two in fact. Dilemma 1 Few days before Christmas I decided to pull my battery out. All went well, except for I dropped a bolt behind the battery box. I was fishing it out when my clumsy hands pushed it farther in. It has not fallen threw, and I...
