my lightly modded 06

congrats on the new bike. i always get a fuzzy (read nice) feeling when someone posts a new ride. and i wish you luck to settle in fast, altough you seem to have settled already! i know its a great machine (all reviews i read rave about it) but the looks dont do it for me. i may grow to like...

what a great family! every one riding bikes! nice things those triumphs...if only i had a lot of money to splurge...i would have a lot of motorcyles!! i am at 4 currently, the fazer and 3 other 100cc, old 2 stroke bikes to commute (and tinker) with.

i am more concerened about theives rather than the bike not firing up. if you are going to store it in the street, you would have to secure it well.

stanless steel polish will not do much to remove the brown stains, there is no harm in trying but i did not find it effective, it does make the headers slippery though! nice work OP

if it is exactly the same as the one in pic its a 2008 model (with black moles around the headlights). the S1 versions had a larger fairing and different brakes and swingarm. S1 had the full power engine version as well as the restricted one. the fazer name is used in europe to indicate its...

at least the corrosion is only on the engine covers. i would be mad seeing that corrosion. you would have to remove them and sand them down very well and take them to be powder coated.

the 2006 is just the same as a 2005 albeit a black frame and engine. on teh 2004-2005 make sure the tps sensor recall has been done (its free of charge at any yamaha dealer). the 06 did not suffer from the tps as it was updated. performance upgrades throught the years there were none, the 07...

your question has already been answered, so this is just to add to your reassurance. the fz 6 taillight is made like that stock on the bikes all over the world. yes i did find it weird at first and i popped the seat off to check the screws, once i saw they were nice and tight i figured it that...

hi doc can you please tell me (if you remember) the code of the materials you used to build the seat? thank you very much

Well your mum sure looks younger than 61. Keep it up Mum Recluse:D Kudos to her for the fairly bold decision she took and 'going against the current'.enjoy life and riding

as far as swingarms from other bikes that fit the fz6 i dont know of any that are a straight swap. the 07 -09 fz6 one is a straight swap, but you have to change the wheel axle to the 07 -09 one as the 04-06 one somehow does not fit properly (i ve tried it that s how i know). make sure you have...

no needto leave. this forum is pic hungry so at the first instance post lots of pics of your ride and riding impressions too as has already been suggested. this forum reminds me of the motto used by honda you meet the nicest people on a honda... you meet the nicest people on fz6 forum:D

this is a nice thread... i like those small honda s too. you dont find a lot locally either, all the guys that are into resto go for the full fledged 750, which although a nice bike has become a too common site on our roads. i prefer to own an H1 kawi (if i had the money!) i have a couple...

i use these puig ones. i like the fact that they have a wide area and more room to dissipate the crash energy. they are attached by a bracket to the frame then a plastic or whatever cylinder is installed to the bracket and finally you install the actual frame slider. Puig Pro Frame Sliders...

what i usually do is to get an old flat screwdriver (which is not useable anymore) and i hammer on the metal sleeve. the metal sleeve will only get slightly marked by the screwdriver and no harm is done to it. it gets off after a few attempts. then the grommet can be prised free with your hand...

Yes unfortunately i bought some lemons too. major one was the vemar jiano helmet, it was a modular with built in sunvisor. the modular chin stopped wanting to stay locked in the upright position after a few months use, and the fabric tore open just after a couple of months. it was expensive...

Since you have riding experience yes the fz6 is a suitable bike, you would have to take your time to adjust to its character and nature( check the clutch biting point, gauging how much throttle you need to take off etc). there are a lot of suitable bikes out there, depends on what type of...
