    30,000 mile bike with perfect givi luggage or clean stock bike with 8k miles?

    Which would you guys buy? A high milage bike that's super clean and has $1000 worth of hard luggage on it or a stock machine with low miles that I'll have to figure out a luggage solution for? Both are 2006 fz6's for the sameish price.

    2006 Yamaha FZ6 Forks

    Hey guys, I am trying to rebuild my FZ6. The bike needs new forks along with several other minor/cosmetic parts, but I was wondering what forks would fit this bike. I have heard R6 forks can be used but is there anything needed to go along with that switch or do they fit right on..? Or would it...

    Where to find headlight retaining clips

    I know the headlights are supposed to have a metal retaining clip, but my bike came missing both. Would a hardware store be the best place to find one, and if so what styles would be best for the bike? Thanks in advance

    Seat Shad comfort seat

    Shad Style comfort seat, suit FZ6 2004-2010. $160. This is a really comfortable seat. I can ride all day and get off the bike feeling good. Because I'm more secure on the bike I also can control the bike better. When I tried on the old seat again I couldn't believe how bad it felt! It fits...

    Naked/Streetfighter or Front Faired for FE, Comfort, and Cost

    I have hunted around a bit and I have a few questions about going naked. The bike I picked up does not have any of the original fairings as it has been dropped a few times, however, I am not sold on going naked. This is going to be my new commuter bike (currently on an old Suzuki "Dual...

    2006 FZ6 purchase with low mileage (km's)

    Hi All, New here so I thought I'd get started right away. Getting ready to buy my first bike (2006 FZ6 of course). Found a couple but one only has 5000 km's (about 3,200 miles). I know that bike has been sitting for at least two years without being used (other than ~50 km's when purchased...

    Arching / Rattling sound when accelerating - sound like its coming from the stator

    I've noticed this sound since I got the bike - 09 with 4K miles, especially when leaning the bike to the right. Do not hear it when leaning the bike to the left (left handle bar towards the pavement). I'm not sure if it is getting louder or I'm just starting to notice it more. I installed the...

    Getting used to the throttle on the FZ6

    Hi Everyone, new FZ6 owner here. Came from four (yes 4) years on a Ninja 250. I still love that bike, has a lot to offer other than power. I picked up a 2009 FZ6 with 4k miles on it in near mint condition. Love this bike as well and holy moly it has a lot of power. One thing that is taking...
