    Yamaha to ditch FZ6 for FZ8?

    I've noticed they already dropped the FZ6 from the 2010 America lineup. I think it would be a good move for Yamaha. But I hope they keep the semi comfortable seat, but offer possibly a sport touring trunk a wife could use for a backrest. I don't want to go to the heavy FJR around town just yet...

    Where and What were you doing on 9/11?

    I was in my living room in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. My wife had just left for work and I noticed Charlie Gibson talking about smoke coming out of a twin tower. I figured a small plane or helicopter accidentally ran into it, and while looking at the screen you see the second jet approaching and...

    2008 FZ6 takes longer to start now

    The FZ6 is no longer offered for 2010

    I saw that last night when I visited the site. I hope we can still get stuff for our bikes, and they keep parts for us at the shops for quick fixes if we need them. StratLC

    2008 FZ6 takes longer to start now

    My 2008 FZ6 began taking longer to start, sometimes spinning a couple of seconds before starting. Sometimes it cranks right up when you hit the starter button. I changed the plugs, made sure the idle adjustment is right, and checked the air filter. The air filter looked clean but has a spot...

    -1/46(stock) or -1/+2 opinions

    I understand the need for increased low end torque. I'm not sure that lowering the gearing is going to help because it will only add rpms at normal highway speeds. I wonder if anyone knows of a reasonably priced kit to possible increase the ccs to 750, perhaps milder cams, all of which will...

    Passenger Backrest

    Anyone know of a passenger backrest to put on a 2008 FZ6? The Corbin Seat and backrest option is expensive. Does anyone know of a passenger backrest that fits this bike?
