place

Well I didn't crash land but somehow this little dragonfly landed under my seat and never left! He seems completely intact. Perhaps a tad dehydrated? What a strange place to fly into and die under the FZ6 seat. I was pulling the rear wheel for install of a new Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ after...

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

Hi all, I went to fit my FZ6 Chinese naked conversion tonight and ran into a problem. I've not really seen this mentioned but it's bugging me and I'm not sure that I can just let it be as it is. For a little background the headlight stay with the kit I ordered was absolute rubbish so I...

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...

Yamaha has released lighting parts in EU but not in the US. Can someone point me towards a trusted dealer who won't rip me off? Perhaps a web url or call them and ask about pricing on these? Short video in operation. Winkers w/DRL Front: PN# YME-FLB2F-00-00 https://youtu.be/tcJ8rI-mPk4...

Hey all DC-area riders (including VA/MD) - my brother is going to be in Annapolis in a few days, and will be driving back through DC. He needs to score some boots and pants - big guy/wide feet, so he's preferring to try something on vs. doing mailorder a la Revzilla. Any suggestions for the...

Video: What would you do in this situation? - RevZilla Interesting little confrontation here. My initial thoughts: 1. Really dumb to honk at a cop in the first place. 2. A horn is a signalling device, not a "road rage" device. 3. Is cellphone usage in CO legal while driving? Discuss...

Hello guys, We are a group of buddies, planning for a weekend trip, to complete all the loops of Claw of the Dragon (hopefully). We are starting from Charlotte, on Friday morning and planning to return back, by Sunday evening. The Claw is 3.5 hours from my starting point. I started looking for...

This evening I decided to try to add a Signature. It wasn't easy to find the place to do this. There might be easier paths, but I eventually found it several layers deep into the FAQs. Yep, I resorted to reading the directions. But here's a direct path...

the left bolt on my battery cover just spins in place. it's about a 1/4 inch unscrewed and i can't tighten or loosen it. i think the threads may have come loose from whatever is holding it in place, and it is spinning with the bolt. i've tried applying leverage to the bolt from below while...

I posted some pics a few weeks back with the headlight and cluster in place but not actually installed. I have everything installed now and figured I'd post a few pics.

A couple of weekends ago I went on a trip to Scotland with a (large) group from my work (about 40). We travelled over on the DFDS Ferry from IJmuiden to Newcastle on the Thursday evening and slept on the boat. On the Friday morning we threw our overnight bags in the bus which was our support...

Seeing the new Nathan's hot dog eating champion down 62 dogs reminds me of my only eating contest, in which I took 2nd place. Eat as many softshell tacos as you can in 10 minutes, $2 entry fee. I had no intention of winning, just getting a filling meal for $2 (this was college). A large room...

I need more light! I ride a lot at night; one of these days, when I was on a road in the middle of a forest, completely darkness, not even the moonlight to help, I thought – as I watch some wild animals organizing to ambush me, so slowly I was riding, completely blind when dealing with the...

I got a quote from one local shop (it's the place last time i went to for front tire replacement). They can do the Valve adjustment for $275 (maybe + some sim $$ if it's needed as for parts). It takes them 2 days for the work. BTW, some SoCAL rider knows other good place to get valve...

Hi people I'm trying to find a set of stock handlebars to fit my 2004 fz6, where's the best place to get them.? Thanks

Hi all, I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong thread, didn't really know where else to put it ;0) Anyway, I'm looking for a little DIY help please. I store my beloved FZ6 in my garage, but I have to ramp it up over a proud 20cm threshold on my uPVC door & it can be a real PITA...

Give them a place to play and look what happensBlah
