    Finally made my apartment a "Home"

    Rescue animals are some of the best pets you'll ever have! Good job on giving that little guy a loving home.

    to repo or not to repo

    hate to sound harsh, but it looks like you didn't have any business buying the bike in the first place. It happens too often where people are lured into buying something when the payments are small. Seldom do these people take the time to calculate that $99 a month for 24 or 36 months won't...

    Greetings from a total newb

    Welcome to the forum! Regardless of the bikes color, an FZ6 is a rather substantial first motorcycle. Remember your training and take it easy. Show the bike respect and you will hopefully have a long and happy riding career. Don't drink alcohol and ride... not even one, it's just not...

    Question to anyone in Detroit?

    I don't live in Detroit, but I do visit the downtown area at least once per year for a Red Wings game. Of all the places in Detroit, the downtown area is probably the safest. With all the casinos, Joe Louis Arena, Cobo Hall, Ford Field and Comerica Park, those buildings draw a huge influx...

    Gunz! AR style

    Good thinking! I already have two 5.56 AR's so it was time to get the .22 LR dedicated rifle.

    Gunz! AR style

    Glad to see this thread has a breath of new life! I recently picked up a CMMG dedicated .22 LR upper and I'm waiting on the call from my FFL for the lower I just ordered. I'll post pics when it's all put together.

    30+ minute Icon ad

    Normally I dislike infomercials, but this one had enough unique scenery and unique riding that I actually enjoyed watching it.

    What is the most reliable car/SUV?

    Not my 2004 Chevy Tahoe 4x4. If I didn't already own it before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, I would have figured it got flooded in the storm surge and was then sold at auction. The Tahoe is my daily driver and is used to pull my boat. I don't take it off road, or abuse it. I've gone...

    Black smoke out exhaust when first started

    Black smoke typically indicates a rich fuel/air mixture. Try unplugging your Power Commander and see if the problem clears up. Power Commanders work by tricking the fuel injectors to spray more fuel per cycle. If the problem clears up, your fuel map might be too rich for your...

    Sold my fizzer... now what?

    I have no doubts that I'll get another bike. It might be a few years, but I will be back in the saddle. Will probably end up with an FZ1 or a Tuono V4R if I can find one that's affordable.

    Sold my fizzer... now what?

    My wife and I have been going through a bit of a rough patch this year and I was told that she feels more like a room mate rather than a spouse. We don't share any of the same hobbies and except for our beautiful 2 year old daughter don't have a whole lot in common. My wife enjoys camping...

    Bought another Yamaha!

    Awesome bike! Reminds me of a much higher tech version of my XT 225. I still miss that bike.

    2008 FZ6 f/s- Michigan

    Up for sale... my 2008 FZ6 S2 with 13,000 miles. I have too many hobbies/ obligations and not enough time and $$$ to do all of them. I am the original owner and bought it new August, 2008. It has been 100% adult owned and ridden ever since. Never crashed or dropped. No damage of any...

    Fair price for a used 2008 FZ6?

    Thanks for the all the info folks. I listed it for $4,700 and we will see what happens. $4,700 gives me room to deal, and shouldn't scare anybody off.

    Fair price for a used 2008 FZ6?

    I would say my FZ6 is in very good to excellent condition. All paint is shiny without any scratches, nicks or dings. It's never been dropped or crashed. I did hit a Turkey back in 2010, but all those parts were replaced at the Yamaha dealer and were covered by my insurance. It's bone...

    Fair price for a used 2008 FZ6?

    The time has come where selling my bike is the right thing to do for my family and marriage. We just bought a camper trailer and between camping and my Bass tournaments, the FZ6 has been sitting around too much lately. I checked on KBB last night and found they're saying $3,300 trade-in...
