Soon I will be selling my FZ6 :( I am just wondering do you guys allow buyer a test ride? Maybe stupid question but when selling a car you ride right seat. With bike you can't do that. I wouldn't like to see back of my bike disappearing down a road and no money in hand.

I just resurrected a FZ600 this weekend...noticing that when I turn the bike it really wants to turn into the curve. (Turn right and you need to keep pressure on the right grip or the bike will turn in on itself). I've ridden BMW road bikes on the street - this is my first non German road bike...

Hey guys, I am the lucky owner of a new (old) FZ6 S2 and it has been a blast for the last few days. I have had a few surprises though and because I am not familiar with this bike it feels a bit awkward for me. The FZ6 I have feels very different from what I rode in the past. When I turn at...

After 13 years on my FZ-6, some months of deliberating, test riding, cajoling the wife and perusing the bank balance over and over I finally did it. I bought an MT-09 Tracer. Last weekend we had our annual bike show and Yamaha had a show special of $750 off the sticker price of $10,600 so I...

Contrary to what all these other reviews have said, I couldn't figure out what they were really referring to. I haven't found a twitchy throttle , it has plenty of grunt in the low end , very responsive, and plenty of per up top. The only thing I can say negative is the front suspension is way...

I have the touring version of the screen and I feel it looks a little odd on the bike. would be willing to trade my touring for OEM screen or just buy one without trade.

My friend with the Suzuki Gamma went for a ride with us. He sold his Yamaha RM1, luckily after he let me ride it :cheer: This is his "other" bike. You like it?

Hi All, I bought a used 2008 FZ6 with 300 miles on it but the header pipes seemed to be rusted\eroded looked pretty bad but not horrible see picture below. Anyway it seems the bike was bought new from the dealer in 2013. When I went to check out the bike, it head a dead battery. The owner told...

Well it wasn't planned I originally went to the bike shop to get a ride on the MT-09, but they had just sold their previous test bike and the new one had to be prepped. Anyway they had a BMW F800R on special offer and they let me take a spin. Well I was not impressed, mainly as the engine was a...

I went out for a short cruse today, and when I cam back to my garage I noticed what looked like coolant leaking form the cap. when cold the radiator is filled to the cap. I little to much I feel. when the bike got hot it leaked through the cap is it just as simple as take some coolant out or...

Hey Everyone, I introduced myself in the new members thread but figured I'd do a proper one in a thread of my own...with a few pics! :sinister: Been riding for the past five years on a 96 XJ600. It had been my daily commuter which tends to be about 90% of my riding. I just don't seem to...

So I think I've decided I wanna get a power commander for my 2004 FZ6 and also thinking of trying autotune My reason is that I think the bike has some dead spots I wanna try and fix, had a power commander I put on my old SV1000 and the difference was night and day So I've decided on a PCV...

Bike is an 05 which puts it at 12 years old... Millage is 30K Miles... Currently having a problem with the starer switch and when I took it apart today I found the wire broke off from the switch contact. New assembly is $75 and I am thinking about buying that instead of soldering it back...

Hi all, New here. I just bought a 2006 FZ6 for a great price with a few issues. Nice bike. My other is a Triumph Sprint RS. The one that is baffling me now is the idle. When warm it idles around 1680 RPM. I found the idle adjust screw but turning it has no effect on idle speed, up or down...

Hello, Is there anyone out there that may have a stick fender burning a hole in your pocket. I was lightly rear-ended in the fall by my buddy who dumped is bike behind me and I need to replace mine. thanks, simiefz6

Sold the FZ6 and decided to step into the world of dual sports. Here's my newest bike. It's an 08 DR-z400s. Has 52k miles, but the engine was rebuilt around 15k ago. Hell, even if it wasn't, it's a thumper. I can rebuild the top end with a few hundred dollars and a couple of hours. Lot's...

A Triumph, a Honda, and a Kawasaki went on a three day ride. Guess which one returned alive? The Triumph, of course. Day One was great! Temps were cool, but not bad. Rode one of our favorite road on the way out of town - Geiger Grade to Virginia City. We did a roundabout way South...

Went down, I'm fine, light scratches on my body but my bike has looked better.

Hey Guys wanted some opinions. My front brakes needs to be changed but I'm not sure if its something I want to do myself or not. Brakes are not something to mess around with and I've done a lot of mechanical fixes but I've never even changed a brake pad on a car let alone a bike. There are...

Looking to take my first trip trailering the fz and wanted to see if you guys had any tips on loading strapping down and so forth. I will have to rent a uhaul bike trailer for it cause I don't own my own yet
