Hi All, Been a while since I was on the forums. I have 2 FZ6s. One a Red 2004 w/ a Leo Vince exhaust, no Power Commander. The second is a Blue 2006 w/ Scorpion Exhaust (older style) and a Power Commander. The Red gets @ 52MPG. Blue gets closer to 35MPG. Actual ride on each is pretty near...

Just went to Ebay to look for it after reading a thread here and watching the Youtube Vid. The average price on the 'bay was $26 to $40. I popped over to amazon because I have a Prime account (Free 2 day shipping, $75 a year but if you buy enough stuff, pays for itself quick). It is $23.99...

After having their 11th child, a Newfoundland couple decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed. So the husband went to his doctor/veterinarian and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a...

Set the scene a bit. Bikes been under a cover for about 3 weeks. I've been under the weather for a while and haven't ridden much, when I have I rode the other bike. Red Bike went down this morning. Little damage, low speed. Today I feel great and the weather is perfect so I decided it was time...

Today I waved at a motorcycle cop at an intersection while on my bike. He nodded back (hand on clutch, nod acceptable) with an amused grin that said, "Nobody waves at me, thanks" (at least that is how I read it.) To me he is a biker first, cop second. Do any of you wave / nod at bike cops?

I'm not really sure that this qualifies as a Modification, its a tail bag. But it is a NEW AXIO tail bag designed speciffically for the R1 /R6 Yamaha and available via a Dealer or Ebay. At least that is the story I got from the seller. There isn't a lot of info on this bag out there. Mine...

Which do you prefer? Any reasons and have you rode a significant amount of time on a seat that lets you slide around? 90% of my riding is done on my 05' which had an older Corbin seat on it when I bought her. The leather is slick and I slide all over her. At first this was a bit of an...

Searched and didn't see this here. Made me chuckle and at least once thought "that could be me". :) (I do wave 90% of the time) Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back 10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty. 9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm. 8. Refuse...

It is well into the 90's here in MA this week. Peaked above 100 yesterday. Just can't bring myself to put a jacket on so I've been taking the air conditioned cage to work. :(

YouTube - MVI_1360.MOV Video shows it in action. Not really happy with the light output but it was cheep for the experiment. Using a Custom LED relay to control the flash rate. You can see a normal bulb type flasher on the left for comparison. The LED is one of those advertised as a 14 LED...

Hey all, Someone asked about striping silver rims but I can't find the thread. I just applied stripes to mine a couple days ago so I thought I'd post the pics. It was done with the same tape I used to stripe my helmet. 1/4" 3m Reflective Tape, Black. I used an applicator that I bought...

I ordered some 3M reflective tape from amazon. It is black that reflects white. The tape was surprisingly flexible at 1/4 inch wide. A 100 ft x 1/4" roll cost around $15. I had hoped to be able to put a stripe or two around the helmet in fairly non-conspicuous (when not reflecting) pattern so as...

Hey all, Searched a bit but the information is scattered and scant. I thought that maybe it was time to start a thread specifically about turn signals. I'm looking to replace my turn signals. Those of you who have, what did you use and are you happy with them? My goals: Cleaner...

Well, that pretty much says it. Need a stock windshield, hoping someone out there up graded and still has one kicking around. Thanks, 68

Just picked up an second Fz6, I sort of live in two places so I have one for each location. My first FZ, 06' has a stock windshield which is great. The new one has a Yamaha factory tall windshield. Not so great. Turbulence around the head makes for a ton of noise and buffeting. I can stand on...

I picked up another FZ6. I started out helping the sales man sell it to another guy because I like the bike so much. But the more I learned about that bike in particular, the more I wanted it for myself. I left. Got a mile up the road, turned around and bought it with the original guy...

YouTube - Texting On Phone While Riding Motorcycle Thought there was a "Squid Video" thread but couldn't' find it. Never seen anything quite like this.

My grab rail is a bit scuffed up from my recent argument with gravity. I've seen color matched rails and they look great. The 06's all used Grey metallic. If you have a Grey Metallic or Red Metallic in good condition, I'd be happy to discuss payment. :)\ If anyone knows the Yamaha part...

I wrote this a few years ago. A recent thread asking if anyone was scared on their first ride reminded me of it so I dug it up to post here. June 06' Riding in IL/Wisconsin for those familiar with Rt 14 My First Ride Ok, maybe not my first ride but it was my first extended ride and my first...

Found this link on ebay while looking for parts. If my bike was blue I wouldn't be sharing the link. :) not my link but it may help someone else and the price is right. 2006 yamaha fz6 lights, windshield, mirrors, front end:eBay Motors (item 120457825331 end time Aug-17-09 10:47:15 PDT)
