my first ride ever on my new bike!:cheer::rockon: Temps between 3 and 5 C and pretty clean roads meant I could pick her up! It was a short and careful ride (new tires and cold, wet roads) but it was still great! The aggressive riding position still didn't bother me at all, but in order to get...

Snow... :ban:

Since I recently traded in my bike I won't be needing these items anymore. Because of exchange rates, shipping etc, these items are probably best suited for Norwegian/Scandinavian buyers. Prices are higher over here than for you guys overseas. :rolleyes: ASV levers: Black with red adjusters...

Dilemma time.. When I got my FZ I initially wanted a full out sportsbike, but since the insurance was too pricey I ended up with the more reasonable FZ6. Today however I found out that I can get cheaper insurance for a GSX-R 750 than what I pay for the FZ as of today. And so the problem arose...

Hey guys, I have an irritating problem. One of the headlight trim thingys won't fit quite right. It pops out slightly and I can't figure out why. I got a new one from Yamaha that I just fitted but it still pops out a little. While installing the new part I noticed there was some kind of rubber...

So a weird thing happened to me today. I was waiting at the front at a light on somewhat of an incline. As the light turned green I wanted to take off quickly so I revved it a little high in the rpms and let the clutch out a little quickly, but not very. There was this weird sound of...

Just finished watching a recording of the GP. I have to say I'm disappointed that Rossi couldn't quite bring it home. In my opinion the harder front was a big mistake given the conditions of the race. Big shame about Pedrosa though! I hope he didn't get injured too bad, but it didn't look good...

Hey, does anyone here have any experience with Kriega tailpacks? I'm thinking about getting the US-40 for longer trips. Any input would be greatly appreciated!:) Link: Kriega US-20

I don't know if it's the best way to describe it, but to me it was. =P Anyway.. I've been studying for an upcoming exam all day, and earlier this evening I decided I needed a short break to cool off a bit so I went for a little ride. It was around 9 pm and the sun had just gone down, and so the...

Just had my first ride of 2009! There's still a bunch of snow here, but the sky was blue and the roads were clear, with a reasonable eight degrees C. I just went for a short ride to fill the tank and get a little air in the tires. It was really a nice little ride, and I also got to try out my...

Ok, if you ever get the Yamaha wind guards for the FZ6 be VERY careful if you're ever going to take them off again. Mine came with the bike and I wanted to replace them with the standard "eyebrows", so I decided to go at it today. Actually I wanted to do the dual headlight mod and had a friend...

How does one fasten the stock bar ends? Haven't tried mounting the bars yet but remember someone on here saying that the bars are supposed to be threaded.. Mine however are smooth, except for the change in inner diameter.. Take a look at the pictures and you'll see what I mean. So the real...

Has anyone thought of swapping for the R6 swingarm? Man I would love to but there's very little chance that I will ever do it myself.. If you want a linkage-type rear shock here's your chance:) YouTube - Fz6 Laser X

I'm kinda depressed right now cause I thought I got lucky and found someone who had the Micron cans, but turns out they didn't after all. I've spent a lot of time trying to find out what kind of exhaust to get, and when I finally find one I like I learn that the manufacturer has gone out of...

Yo folks! Sooo I've been thinking about Pazzo levers, and before I order anything I would like some input from those of you who have some experience with them.. What's the deal with shorty levers? What would you recommend, shorty or standard size, and why? Cheers:D

Yo guys & gals! I need some help finding rearsets. I've been looking at valtermoto and rizoma, but haven't found anyone who sells them for the FZ6 yet. Also, are there any other types that you would recommend? :) Thanks, Chris

So here in Norway it's definitely getting colder. About 10 degrees C (50 F) today. Which means it won't be long now before I'll have to park my bike for the winter. I'm guessing I have about a month left of riding. And guess what - it makes me sad! :( So how are temperatures in your parts...

Hey guys! I'm new here so please bear with me! I stumbled across this forum today as I was randomly searching for mods for my bike. It's an 08 FZ6 S2 with the full fairing, wind protectors and the original low windscreen - which I think gives the bike a sporty and aggressive look. Now I really...
