Sup guys, It's been a long time since my last confession .. uh, post. That's because I no longer am a happy member of the FZ6 owners club. I wrecked mine in 2009, and I bought an FZ1, so after two years on the FZ1, I thought I'd give you my 50 cents on how these bikes compare. I'd rather have...

2010 Yamaha FZ8 revealed - Motorcycle news: New bikes - Visordown

I didn't want an old worn out bike. I absolutely love the design of the FZ6-N S2. It had a perfect price point for me, and had the perfect balance of power and cost. 100 HP is more than enough. Sure, the literbikes will pass you on the straits, but you'll catch up in the corners, where the liter...

Yes, but is it better than the FZ6 S2 ? I'm kindof in the process of choosing a bike now, and it stands between the FZ1 and the F800R. I crashed my FZ6 S2 some weeks ago, so I wouldn't want anything worse than what I already had. I think it's going to be close. The insurance for the F800R is...

Possible, I chose the FZ6 S2 over the R6. Not much less performance, better allround, and most important cheaper insurance. But why would Yamaha introduce an FZ8,if not to replace the FZ1 AND the FZ6 ? Sure Kawasaki has both the Z750 and the Z1000, but I can't help wondering if Yamaha is trying...

Do people everywhere wave at/salute other riders or is it just in Sweden ? Here we usually do hand gestures or just nod.

Philips XP Moto for those of you who don't want Xenon or other mods for your headlight, but still hate the weak original headlight bulb, there's a new lightbulb from Philips called XP Moto, see HERE. They claim 80% more light and I'd say they don't exagerate. I get a much better low beam, and a...

Yesterday me and two other guys, one on an old R1 '00 and one on an Aprilia RSV Mille just about the same age, we pulled away from a stop line and to my amazement I passed the aprilia at about 170 km/h and up until 198 km/h the R1 was just 5-6 meters ahead of me. I must say I'm a bit impressed...

I get 36 MPG on the FZ6 S2 stock CO with LeoVince and catpipe. I also wheigh 110 kg, and ride like i've stolen it, that could be an explanation

Does anyone know how to adjust the headlights on a FZ6-N ? Can't find anything else than for the Fazer (faired)

1990 suzuki TS 125 R. I was 16, had worked 2 summers and had some money, and my father gave his written permission so I bought it. I was the happiest kid in the world. I also rode the crap out of that bike. I revved it so the spark plug melted and punched a hole in the piston. And that a couple...

Is that possible on the 2007 FZ6-S2 ?

In which way does PAZZO lever help ? It looks to me like it's just adjusting the position a bit, but not the stiffness

This obviously isn't a problem in Sweden, where we barely have sunlight and people have started to locate their food with making sharp noises

Yes, use Loctite 242 Blue , a few drops will suffice. Check out the service manual spec for the frame bolt tightening torque HERE which by the way says 55 Nm in case the link goes dead in the future. I bought my nylon sliders from a Yamaha dealership, they're produced by Valtermoto, and the...

oh well, thanks for making this thread short ;) maybe you could just delete this thread grommit ?

Installing frame sliders seems just a bit more tricky than assembling something from IKEA. the bolts are steel, the frame is aluminium, you don't want to tighten it too hard. You might want to apply some locking agent so the engine doesn't fall off because the vibration loosened the bolts. I'm...

Age: 34 Current bike: FZ6-S2 2007 black, Leovince exhaust, no catalyzer Previous bikes: Suzuki TS125R red/white I started riding the above suzuki at 16, after working two summers to get the money. I drove without a licence until I was 22 (outlaw biker ;) and then I gave up. Now later in life...

Forcefield BodyArmour Level 2 motorcycle Back Protector check this out, it's a rubber which is fairly rigid when cold, and it forms itself around your back when it warms up from your body heat. Very comfortable, I hardly notice it, except for the strap at the bottom, but that's because of my big...
