    What luggage melts?

    I rode from Ft Lauderdale (South Florida) to Atlanta Georgia with my friend on the back, she was carrying our stuffs in a duffel bag on her back. In the middle of the night, past the state border, I got pulled over while speeding as usual. The cop pulled us over to let us know that he couldn't...

    How do you guys make your seats more comfortable

    Are the Top Saddlery seat covers any good? I noticed it while looking for a seat (about 500$, I will never be able to afford that!), it was only 60euros but I couldn't find any information on them, they could only be decorations for all I know.

    Lot of motorcycle parts, engine, frames for sale (mostly GSXR's 600 750 1000)

    The shipping shouldn't be that bad, he got the whole thing shipped from almost the middle of the country for about $300. I'll ask him for the shipper's info when I get home. I'll take some pictures of what controls are present tomorrow, but I doubt he is willing to part it out, he mostly wants...

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    I did that about eight months ago (put my old 1992 Suzuki GS500e headlight because I didn't have anything else after crashing), it surely isn't the case since it worked all along and I didn't touch the wires, they have been hanging in an ugly way all along. I need to take a picture of what it...

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    Thank you all for your help, it surely was the kill switch, I went to work and came back (20miles) without problem. If it comes back I know that I can simply eliminate the kill switch. You are my saviours!

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    Was your VIN in the recall list? Could mine be bad even though it does not appear to be in it?

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    :jawdrop: how did you think of it? I hope that was the only problem, I turned the bike on in the garage (center stand, neutral, garage opened so I don't suffocate to death, I almost made that mistake before) and played with the two plastic tabs that must come from the kill switch, the engine...

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    I think it shuts down completely. When it does it until the bike comes to a complete stop (or if I stop myself, had that at a redlight where I blocked traffic), the engine is OFF. It actually has the same reaction as when I run out of gas (it happened once a few months ago :spank: ), except...

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    Thank you. I didn't really understand the VIN thing but it doesn't seem to list mine ( http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-technical/64-yamaha-motorcycles-various-models-throttle-position-sensor.html ) My VIN is JYARJ08EX5A003540, it's a 2005.

    Need your help! Bike randomly stops and goes while riding, never happened before!

    Hi, Can anyone help me? I had this problem on my way to work today (for the first time) and I have no clue what could be the cause. After a few minutes riding it, it seemed the engine shut down like if I completely released the throttle, then came back on its own (and jumped since the throttle...

    FRAME any year FZ6 - making electric FZ6

    My roommate has a few GSXR (600 750 and 1000) frames for sale. He only has the main frames (not the wheels forks ...) and the engine with everything it's attached to on some of them (including a honda 999cc but those would be useless for an electric bike) but you should be able to get them for...

    WTB Left mirror for 2004-06 FZ6

    Hi, Does anyone have a OEM (or identical match) RIGHT (nevermind the title) mirror for the older 2004-2006 FZ6? If possible with the rubber thingy they come with. If so let me know your price and paypal address. I bought a set on eBay but they aren't OEM and I don't like the way they stick out...

    LED headlights?

    I don't know what is currently on the market but - LEDs are definitely the way to go, some luxury cars use them as main headlights and you can build one yourself if you have the skills - Do not buy one of those crappy H4/H7 ebay headlights, I tried one of the more expensive and it is less...

    Rear brake, do you use it?

    I use my rear brake exclusively (with engine braking). My fork leaked all of its oil out onto the front rotor and brake callipers (oh joy) and the parts (seal thingy, motul oil, and rain pant) are taking forever (2weeks so far, surely one more to come) to arrive, and the FZ6 is my only ride to...

    Poor mans 0 dollar streetfighter mod

    Very nice! My bike is currently in the same state except I don't even have a windshield and I have two different mirrors (one oem and one on the handlebars with integrated turn signal. I have a tendency to break oem right mirrors). Did you take any picture with the windshield in all its...

    FZ1 front fairing on the FZ6, can it be done?

    Hi, I need to get a front fairing (light wind shield and all the plastic that comes on an OEM FZ6), the naked style is suicide on long trips. Did anybody try using another bike's fairing? I have a 2005 FZ6 and I thought about using the 2007+ as they look a lot better, but I might as well get...

    Possible new job.

    I tried (I even did some fast and fun deliveries on my FZ6) but it didn't work out. I was robbed twice and the second time my car was stolen. I am still looking for another job.

    I bought this one Western Power Sports Sealed Battery - Street Bike Parts - Motorcycle Superstore $86.99 with free shipping, never had a problem -with cold start, the weak charging system, leaving the bike unused for a week, and using the cigarette lighter all the time- since then. Avoid the...
