    LED turn signal problem

    Do you have any idea how many LED's are packed in there? The ones I bought have 12 or 13, looks like. More lights would mean more light!

    LED turn signal problem

    Thanks for all the replies. It is not so much the faster flashing that bothers me, but the lack of brightness, which I thought was connected to this problem. I guess I'll just have to save my $$$ for a set of Rizomas. Do you have to install an electronic flasher with those?

    LED turn signal problem

    I just installed a set of LED turn signals from 2 wheels on the rear, and they aren't nearly as bright as I would have thought, and they blink double time. I guess this means I need some sort of relay. I looked through some old posts, and saw that an electronic flasher should do the trick...

    lost all electrical power riding

    My son was riding my (soon to be his) '07 FZ6 today, with me following. He was coming out of an easy curve, opening up the throttle, when the engine shut off, the screen went blank, and nothing will work. We checked fuses--OK, and battery connection--OK. I have no idea what the problem might...

    Anyone add secondary headlights? Driving/Cornering/Fog?

    People spend THAT price for a new set of cans--just for fun! To me, it's strictly a safety issue. An awful lof of cars hit motorcycles because the cagers "don't see" the motorcycle. I'm in favor of anything that changes that equation. I originally bought them for my Harley Sportster. You...

    Anyone add secondary headlights? Driving/Cornering/Fog?

    I'm sure the HID kits are great. I don't know if the HID's replace the normal headlights?, but what I like about the Moto Lights is that the lights are mounted on the calipers, and having the 2 small but very bright lights come from a different location really makes the biker visible, both in...

    Group buy for Yamaha Lowered Seat

    Here's a quote from DanKatz who purchased this seat from Germany: Re: Yamaha lowered FZ6 seat Never got a reply from the dealer in Germany after emailing him in English...oh well... Now, for my review. I have been wanting to get this seat for months...probably almost half a year. I must say...

    Anyone add secondary headlights? Driving/Cornering/Fog?

    Here's a link to the Moto Light site. The ones they show are like a brushed aluminum, but they come in a sort of flat black--they match perfectly on FZ6. I'm on crutches right now, or I'd go out and snap a pic...

    Group buy for Yamaha Lowered Seat

    This wasn't specified. I just assumed credit card, but if and when you place your order, you could work that out with them. I'm going to get the seat anyway, I'm just trying to get a price break, but at this point there doesn't seem to be enough interest. :(

    Group buy for Yamaha Lowered Seat

    I don't set the prices, I'm just trying to make the deal. I know it's overpriced, but IMHO I think most 'after market' seats/saddles are overpriced also. This just seems like the easiest solution to the problem my wife has with the FZ6. Her previous bike was an inch lower, and it made quite...

    Anyone add secondary headlights? Driving/Cornering/Fog?

    I've installed a set of Moto Lites on my wife's FZ6. They look great, bolt onto the caliper, matching black. Only trouble is, with 35W bulbs, the draw was too much and the battery eventually died. I've got a set on my FJR, they work great, HUGE amount of light for night driving, and very...

    Yamaha FZ 6 Accessories. Wild Hair Accessories. Motorcycle Accessories & Aftermarket European Parts. Here's the address to the Yamaha accessories, but they don't have it listed. I was told they carried it, so I called and got some info about it. They said that it is the official Yamaha...

    Yamaha lowered FZ6 seat

    Congrats on the new seat! :thumbup: It "appears" that Wild Hair sells the same seat, but for $455. Is it possible for any of us other mortals to order from the same place you did, or was through a "friend of a friend?" How long did it actually take for your seat to arrive? Wild Hair says 6...

    Seat heat?

    I've got an FJR ('06) and my wife has an FZ6 (07), and neither seat gets hot, but left leg on both bikes (ESPECIALLY the FZ6) gets very toasty. I'm surprised no one has commented on that. We also have a '92 XJ600 that is air cooled, and absolutely no heat problems with it. Also, I had a...

    3500Km 2 up in France

    Steve, Thanks for the great write-up and pics. Absolutely beautiful countryside. I'm curious what brand/type of hard cases you have, and how they are mounted to the bike. Thanks.

    Steve, I read your excellent write up of the windscreen mod (along with some other posts), and saw the hard side case set up you have. The top box looks like a Givi, but what are the side cases? I assume you had to install some type of special brackets to hold them? Would you mind sharing...
