    Anti fog

    Works if applied when the glass is still dry, it also works with swimming goggles, but again works better if applied before getting wet. Never tried with the visor but it´s a good idea if nothing else is available...

    Losing Power

    We had a problem with the initial FZ6 assebled in Brazil and they had the same symptoms you are describing. The issue was that spark plugs were not connected properly. So have also a check if there is no loose or rusty connection on them.

    Save a dying YBR 250

    Frizi, You know that BR in YBR stands for Brazil. It´s made here by the local Yamaha. Bad news is that parts are 3 times more expensive here than anywhere else, at least for bigger bikes like my fz6. You can try the local owners forum Fazer Online - Índice (it´s called fazer250 here), but most...

    So, the sun came out

    This is how it was in Bournemouth around noon. But got wet later near Exeter. I´m spending 2 weeks here and manage to hire this F800GS for the weekend. At least I´m riding. Laercio

    Going to Ottawa, any store recommendations for helmet/protection?

    Maverick, Thank you very much. Been back in Brazil since sunday, but now I got to take pictures of the helmet. It´s the Arai Quantum 2, found in size S at the Good Time Centre. Very nice store. I also got a Back protector (Joe Rocket) and a Icon tank bag. Laercio

    Going to Ottawa, any store recommendations for helmet/protection?

    I´ll be arriving tomorrow (sept/22) and leaving on saturday (sept/25), and since here in Brazil, prices are twice as much, I´ll be shopping for Shoei and back protector. Any store recommendations? they should have in stock due to the short stay? Thanks, Laercio

    my 1st problem with the fz

    I got mine at the dealer using this code: 4S82834700 But in Brazil. I guess it´s the same code. Btw, took a couple weeks and cost around R$15 (~US$8)

    Best tire price

    I can´t stand these posts. I paid R$1250 a couple weeks ago. That´s US$700, but now that the mold is gone, they fell better than the M3 that came from factory. By the way, the Yamaha dealer asked more than R$1400 for the M3 rear :eek:

    How many FZ6 are out there?

    Now that the production of our beloved bike has ceased, does anyone know how many were produced? I searched for production in Brazil and here there were 1700 in 2009 (1100 N - naked and 600 S) and 900 in 2008 (600 N and 300 S). That´s 2600 bikes in 1 1/2 years. Yes, they started local production...

    Where do you keep the FZ during the winter?

    OT: Yes, Ph.D. Geography. Actually I miss the cold sometimes, snow driving (can´t imagine on a bike though), frozen Niagara Falls, university atmosphere. I´m less than 2 hours from Santos, I´ll ride there sometime. There are many V-Stroms and BMW around here going to around South America...
