hi all,
been very quiet from you all for a while. I know life gets busy, and many of you have moved to different bikes( so maybe different forums too).
But you all seemed to have fun and take lots of pics( well Jerry always seemed to take a few).
I really enjoyed the ride reports and the...
Nobody here will remember but 5 years ago I took my FZ from Toronto to Sarasota. That was quite ordeal since I managed to do it on weekend when they measured highest temperatures ever recorded in Eastern part of USA. So this time going back I was not to repeat past mistakes.
What happened is...
According to the Nat'l Weather Service, Mt. Rose Ski Resort which is approximately just 20 miles west of Reno currently has the highest recorded snowfall for North America, something like over 700 inches and counting.
Just past the ski slopes at the top of the Mt. Rose Summit.
Lake...
(SOLD!) $90 obo! Shipping from 63069 - Very nice Axio Tail Bag I was going to paint it but lost interest in it. Comes with paint to do the job (Is the bright blue color, was going to paint to match my 2008 blue/purplish color)
Well me and 3 friends of mine got thinking and we all thought it would be great to plan a 4 day trip to Normandy (From North Holland). It will be 1 day ride to get there (with a break and/or a bit of minor road riding), 2days riding around the area and then the trip home (also with a stop off...

Anyone know the oem spec size for the front and rear sprocket, and for the length of the chain on the 2005?
Its not in the manual and my googling has given me mixed results.
I know this info should be online somewhere but I cant find it. If it is just a link would be cool. Problem is there are...
Looks like we'll have some nice weather this Saturday the 19th! With the El Nino weather and my work schedule I've missed out on riding as much as I'd like to.
I'll also post this on our SoCal Hoon Google mail. :-)
I saw this on FB and the colour caught my eye to begin with.
As a few memmbers have progressed to the FZ-9 thought some might like to have a look

I recently just bought myself a 2005 Yamaha fz6 as my first bike and this is my first time using the forum. I'm wondering what exhaust I should get? I live in CA and I heard it's hard to get around with a really loud exhaust because bikers get pulled over a lot due to their aftermarket exhausts...
Caught you turning into the Hannafords plaza off of Route 20. 06+, blue rim tape, blue wind screen. Just saying 'Hello!' if you are on here somewhere. I was actually in my *cough* Toyota Corolla. I'd say let's meet up, but I am moving in 2 weeks.
Nice gold visor, by the way!
I hope all you lady riders had a nice Mother's Day.
I had a nice day. I got to spend time with my son (a record 3 hours before he left for University - he's in the middle of finals week) and my mom. Hubby made us all lunch (my dad isn't well enough to do a restaurant these days). After...
I don't like the origional front fender on my 2005 fz6n at all and like to replace it. Something smaller, sharper lines, maybe carbonfibre. The origional s2 fender is much more like it, but the mounting points seems to be different. Is there an other option, maybe from r1/r6/xj6...? Maybe a nice...
NSW is not " NOT SAFE-WORK ", but I can see how it could be construed that way.
NSW= New South Wales. Kez and I ventured up that way to Eden on the saturday after Xmas for a week for some car-camping. The weather was pretty good---23 to 28 Celsius, nice beaches, nice coffee shops and a pub...
Did anyone manage to go to Birmingham in the past week?
I went on the opening day last Saturday and had a good day looking at everything, sitting on everything, getting as many freebies as I could and most importantly - I didn't impulse buy anything I didn't need!
Had a package deal with a...
About two years ago my son's best friend asked if I would help him find a first bike. I pointed him in the direction of the usual suspects (FZ6, SV650, EX650R) and he settled on an FZ6 not to far away. I went with him for the pre-purchase inspection, gave him my approval and rode the bike home...
Well the time has come for me. We are going to be starting a family here shortly and the wife thinks it might be good to knock down some "play" debt. I chose to get rid of the bike, because it's not getting ridden much anymore since I got coilovers on the Gti.
I'll put up more specifics...
