Well... after riding one last season I finally did it. Picked up a 2014 Triumph Street Triple R yesterday. The bike only has 2,600 miles on, came with a sweet SC Project exhaust and the Triumph Quickshifter! I have a feeling the FZ6 might collect some dust this season.

Hi all. I'm finally getting serious (and the time) about giving my '07 some attention. I joined here a couple years ago when I got her, but never posted much and only did a few simple mods. I find myself coming back here again and again, so I figured it's time to start posting some of my...

Hi all, Few years ago i did a swap and put the FZ1 handlebar. Really liked it at start, but after doing some lessons from the California superbike school, i find it hard to get to the right position on the bike with this handlebars. Main reason is probably my weight (beer belly :P), doesn't...

Hello, After pondering for some time about getting a naked bike and fitting it with the fully adjustable suspension from a sports bike, or buying a sports bike and turning it naked, I came across a good deal on a 2004 fz6n and 3 days later it's sitting in my yard :) Current status of the bike...

Just got a 2005 Fazer with a dead battery. Replaced the battery but no joy as to starting. Bike is up on the center stand. Bike cranks nicely but will not fire. Gas in the tank. Any suggestions as to where to start? 18,500 miles has sat with a dead battery for months. All looks good under the...

2004 FZ6-complete bike with frame damage. Great for part out / project $1400 (NYC) Hey guys, I live in Manhattan and park on the street without a garage so a part out would be difficult but I have a 2004 yamaha with a cracked frame and front fairing damage (one headlight is still good) for...

I took the r6 fairings off my bike, didnt like the way i had to mount it. Ive been looking at the one on ebay it on a blue bike but it doesnt come with any mounting brackets. Does anyone know where i can get them? Im going to bike week in a couple months and i need to get everything ordered so i...

after wanting a Fazer for so many years but never finding the right bike at the right price , i finally found one in may last year . I loved the 250 mile ride home but after owning a bit longer i dont really like the bike , the seat is a pain when out a good ride , theres a shudder at times...

Hey guys, It might not be the right place to talk about this topic, but I thought I’d share my dilemma. Maybe I can start a conversation and get some insights from you. So, here we go.. Basically I can’t make up my mind whether I should buy a Tracer 700 or an older FZ6 Fazer. This will be...

- Rode in to work... srsly, mid-Jan and expected high is 50+ (F)? Great way to start, and no heated/heavy gear needed. Bike not esp. clean, but Scott will be pleased to hear I was polishing the headers on Sat (in much colder temps) - Going with an office-mate over lunch to help him buy a...

Unfortunately, a friend's girlfriend backed over my bike. The damage is not extreme but my fairing, bar end, and frame slider are all slightly damaged. She has agreed to fix the bike. Does anyone have a fairing for an S2 that I could purchase?

So meta alarm has been fine up till today, gave the bike a wash and forgot to turn the alarm off so it went off. Turned it off and carried on When I finished I set the alarm for it to beep 3 times and flash twice, then it randomly beeped a few times and then went off Thought maybe turn the...

Long-story short, a buddy/neighbor of mine ended up with a (free) 1983 Honda Nighthawk CB650SC. While he intended to keep/fiddle with, his spousal-unit vetoed that plan - which is where I come in. He offered it to me to 'fix up' or do anything (within reason) I wanted to. How to be honest, my...

I'm in a love hate relationship with my fz6 right now, everything about the bike is great - it's looks, it's practicality the amount of power and fun you can have on it. But most of the time I get on the bike i'm just not enjoying myself because I the darn thing feels like it doesn't want to...

I'm sorry for the abrupt question, but I just had a hell of an afternoon. I tried to do a spark plug change for my bike, and I'm not sure why, but after it was all installed, the idle was really rough and something was obviously wrong (the bike was jerking and misfiring, it seems). I ripped it...

My first bike was a 1992 year Xv250 bike, i still keep it. It's almost 25 years old but looks very fresh thanks to ebay. I surf ebay for cheap nos parts. So bike still runs well. But i think of renovating the engine in the future. So i can start to collect the engine parts that i'll need...

On my Ducati. Took me a year after purchasing the bike brand new, that this bike didn't have a clutch cable. Or at least, it takes some sort of fluid, some say it's the same as brake fluid. Pictured below is my clutch reservoir, which appears dark, and a noticeable amount of clear fluid on...
