gear

Hello my fellow FZ6 lads. Recently my 2006 FZ6 has not been letting me shift into first gear, instead it will make a weird clicking noise. It takes me several tries to get down into first and it's starting to get very annoying. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi All! New to the forum and looking for advice already! Loving my Fzr6-2 (2007), the only thing I am not keen on is the speedo/dash. I find it hard to see in low light/sunrise/sunset before the backlight comes on and also, would like to have a gear indicator. Can anyone recommend or has...

Hi All, my stock tire need replacement. The bike has about 10k miles. The rear wheel is not bad and I thought I would be ok till the end of the season, but my front wheel is kind of bold in the center and I would be scared to drive with it in the rain, thus it is time to replace both. I made up...

Have decided to buy a Healtech Gipro-X gear indicator... I just can't seem to figure out which of the 5 available colors that would suit my FZ6 best => Help/Vote!? My FZ6 is the non-faceliftet model with bluish ligthing. As far as I have read there the brigtness of the Gipro-X display is...

Today was there grand opening of the national retail chain Cycle Gear. It's about time we get our own store. There were many vendors including our state's motorcycle safety program which I helped manage our booth, recruiting new, returning and experienced riders. For those who are not familiar...

Hi All, I could not really find anything specific for the FZ6, I did find some random ones on Amazon and Aliexpress but they do not have any reviews. Does not look like cycle gear or revzilla carries them for our bike unless you want to make your own and I do not want to. :) any...

https://www.facebook.com/MetroUK/videos/1617007131667902/ Many members wont get to see this as its on FaceBook, but it shows the nasty side of not gearing up. Its not for the squeamish, I got the shakes n shivers after seeing it so be warned its a bit gruesome.

So.... my kid dropped my bike a couple of times, also ran it at too low of RPM's that the battery didn't charge. I recharged the battery, and took it our for a spin and now it can't hit 65MPH in first gear any more - which used to be top spee4d for first gear., It peaks at about 55MPH and feels...

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to ride throughout the winter this year (mid-Atlantic US) - I don't like the idea of having the bike sit all winter (tho' I could just take the car). I don't really have any cold-weather specific gear, and I'm loathe to spend a bunch of $ on gear for...

Taking the MSF next month and I want to have all my gear ready for the riding portion. I actually brought my bike first and just got my temp plate today. Not riding yet cause I don't know how. So anyway in my search for protective gear I decided to settle on hi viz. Here in Decatur, IL it seems...

Hi everybody, I come to the forums today asking for help or guidance in troubleshooting my 2008 FZ6 S2. I bought this bike brand new of the showroom floor and have since put ~45,000 miles on it. I don't ride too aggressively, however I do have a tendency of doing some clutch up wheelies out of...

Hi guys, although its been a while since I've posted last, I still browse the forums from time to time. I still have the FZ6 and she's still running strong, pushing 50,000 miles this summer (I hope!). I hope everybody's been doing well here! :D Does anybody have any suggestions for riding...

Hi all, Bike model - 2004, mileage circa 10k I've recently, since the winter, found my gear selector lever goes limp and requires a nudge slightly upwards to get it to "firm back up" after a change down. It moves up the gears fine, but requires either a few good stamps, or like I said a...

I have noticed that this bike has a winding noise on the first gear. I noticed this when clutching in and idling/rolling down my neighborhood. If I pop it into another gear or neutral, the sound stops. It is definitely a winding noise, like I can hear the gears winding down in speed. I...

So I've had 3 motorcycles before this FZ6 and all of them had this problem in some iteration, but not quite as bad. They have been all Suzuki bikes though, one brand new, two used. Suzukis shift like a dream to me. This Yamaha does not (that's fine, I've read all about the slightly clunky...

http://www.phillyvoice.com/report-cycle-gear-buy-philadelphias-revzilla-400-500-million/ Wow! They are calling it the 'Zappos' of Motorcycle gear! I hope that this doesn't lead to higher prices from less competition.
