Hey guys, I see that things are slowing down on Flickr, so I figured I should promote the FZ6 group that I moderate. Flickr: Yamaha FZ6 Motorcyles Stop by and check out what others have shared, and add your own, too!

Does anyone know the specs on the gas tank pivot bolt? I gave it one too many snugs last night and stripped 'er out. Ronayers.com has them for $0.88, but I'm not paying $8 to ship it. I'm looking to either find something suitable locally, at McMaster, or make one if the first two options...

I'm the only owner of my 04 FZ6, and I've accounted for all but approximately 6 miles of the 15,000+ that's on it. I've always done the maintenance myself (not that there's been much to do past oil changes and chain duty). Recently, it's hit me that it seems like my bike's running a bit...

I'm in the process of picking out the bits for my first build. I tend to research the crap out of things before doing it, so bare with me on this. Here's what I'm looking at getting: Lower Spikes Tactical stripped lower (already have this) PSA Classic LPK w/o FCG PSA AR15 Lower - Lower...

I picked up a set of black inner panels from another forum member and they showed up in the mail today. I'm very slowly trying to replace the "purplish" bits on the blue 04's. This was step #1. It's really hard to take a picture of, as the difference looks fairly subtle. So far, I like it...

So it's disgustingly hot here. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 90-95 (that's hot for us Yankees) with tomorrow being even hotter, potential record high. When it gets hot, I've taken to ditching the riding pants, but keeping everything else. The thought of riding without my jacket is scary...

I decided to do a little how-to in the process. Be sure to add the restrictor tubes, otherwise the measurement bounces something fierce. Untitled by camper4lyfe, on Flickr I've got a Carb Tune II that I bought back a few years ago. It came with 2 sets of screw in adapters for...

So my wife has decided she wants to learn to ride a motorcycle, and to get her license. I'm looking for advice on how to teach someone to ride. I know, my gut reaction is "DON'T" as well, but that's not an option at this point. The MSF course around here runs just shy of $300 that we don't...

Hey folks. I'm currently taking a concept/design/selection class. One of the steps is to create a customer survey to determine the required needs of said customer. Since our project is motorcycle based, I come to you with the survey. If you'd kindly take a few minutes to fill it out, I'd greatly...

I was having some hiccup/stumbling issues with my truck when it's cold, lately. I finally got around to changing out the plugs and wires. After 3 hours, I'm finally done. Here's what I found: Spec'd gap is .060-.068". These measured around .080". I'm surprised it still ran! Cylinders...

So my wife went looking for new riding gear last night, and came across the "old" HJC FS-10 that I've been wanting. I almost pulled the trigger on one last year when they went on closeout at newenough.com, but opted not to, out of lack of funds. The finding of an FS-10 got me looking for its...

Do NOT clean your chain with the bike running and in gear. Learn from his mistakes. How NOT to clean your chain. **GRAPHIC PICS*** : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

I'm turning 30 in February. I'm looking for ideas for a dirty 30 party. Any and all ideas are welcome, though the wife will probably veto some. Let's hear it!

Part I: Does anyone know of a hydraulic clutch kit for the FZ6? Part II: What year R6 is the FZ6 motor from? That may broaden my search. Part III: I'm thinking about a hydraulic clutch because I get severe wrist pains when I have to shift a lot. I'll most likely try a new clutch...

Unfortunately, that also means I'm back to work as well. Been on vacation since July 8th, for my wedding on the 11th, and honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico from the 14th to 24th. Just wanted to share the ~300 pictures I took while there. My Flicker set

Back in high school, I used to play Boy Scout, and made some really good friends in doing so. One is the best man in my wedding, coming up in a couple weeks. The other is active duty in the Army and in question as to whether or not he can even make it, but that's beside the point. The 3 of...

With the weather getting nice, and me spending less time inside to watch tv, I'm wondering if anyone's got experience with satellite radio (xm, sirius, etc.)? I want it mostly to listen to NASCAR races, and Bills football games while I'm out and about. Thoughts (about the radio/services...

Almost.... SO, I bought a house back in November, and after 2 years of not being allowed to grill (apartment complex didn't allow them), I bought a cheap $30 portable gas grill from Wally-world. With the weather getting nice, and tax return season being relatively good to us, the subject...

Just joined, wanted to put my name out and let everyone from the area know that I'm here. I currently live in Fairport, looking to move, but will still be in the same area. I ride an 04 FZ6 with a Corbin seat with a backrest, and also have painted my windscreen. If you see me, play nice.
