It's that time of year where some have the bike stored and will do the mods while the riding season is less than optimal. Here are some ideas to give inspiration and at least put a smile on your face. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc

So I've got an 06 FZ6 at my house that I am trying to put back together, and today I put a fully charged battery in and attempted to crank it. I cant get it to catch. It's been sitting for over a year .. any ideas on what I need to get it running?

Hi guys yesterday I noticed the bike was running a little different to normal, mainly it seemed "grumbly" so thought I would put the carb tune on and check the throttle body balance. When I attached it and started the engine up all but one of the gauges were working and balanced with one...

Looks like the 2017 Eclipse will be near. Lots of hype about our state increasing head count by 25% and well, our infrastructure is not going to handle this so well. Without moving an inch I'll be in 99.94% totality... Hopefully power and others nice to have things keep working but I can...

SOLD Hello all! Not much of a poster but a browser of the forums ever since I bought the bike. Just re-read the rules and noticed to sell an FZ6 I don't need the 10 posts, cool! Purchased it last May from an older gentleman who realized getting back into motorcycles wasn't the best idea at...

Hello! I've just passed my direct access in the UK and bought a 2004 FZ6. I'm in the process of accumulating all the parts to do an OEM naked conversion. I've read 100 posts on the subject but I'm still absolutely terrified of the wiring - in particular the cutting, routing, and matching...

I know it ain't pretty, but should be functional enough for the next long-ride with my brother. It'll feel good to stretch out the legs - before, I would sorta' rest them on top of the frame sliders, but this should be more workable - I can put my feet on, and _then_ stretch out and put my legs...

Hi all. Finally made the move after 4 years owning the bike (2008 yamaha fz6 s2 abs) and purchased an exhaust for my baby. HOMOLOGATED SLIP-ON EXHAUST SYSTEM Ghost YAMAHA FZ6 600-FAZER S1-S2 2004/13 GHOST LINE ALL I will fit and dyno the bike tomorrow but i wanted to ask if anyone has an...

I took the r6 fairings off my bike, didnt like the way i had to mount it. Ive been looking at the one on ebay it on a blue bike but it doesnt come with any mounting brackets. Does anyone know where i can get them? Im going to bike week in a couple months and i need to get everything ordered so i...

I was looking forward to converting my Fz6 to naked after completely wasting my fairings on some low speed tarmac jumping up on me... I bought this:For Yamaha FZ6N 2004-2006 2005 FZ6S Fazer Headlight Set Head Light Assembly New | eBay After starting to put it all together I met a few bumps...

Hi All, I've been quiet on the site for awhile now due to my life being tugged in many different directions. But I've been lurking and enjoying all the great sharing and help we've provided for each other. So here's my story: Got a new battery as the OEM quit holding a charge the...

Hello All, Just picked up a 2008 Blue Fz6 with 400 miles. It looks like it was sold new in 2013, unfortunately it is not in show room condition, the Tank is a bit scratch which looks like straps\tie down did it. Someone must been careless :/. Anyway I've put about 300 miles on it, but for some...

Just put together some random clips I had on my computer. Not too bad, not too good. https://youtu.be/zDgNEWmsChw

Ive got a 2009 fz6. Had to get the tank repainted and while it was off I repainted the frame because the previous owner painted red stripes on it. Went to put everything back together and it wont stay running unless I use starting fluid. It will barely idle for a couple seconds and then turn...

Has anyone mounted a vSystem scottoiler or competitor to the FZ6? Are you happy with it? How was the install process and where did you put the reservoir?

Two quick questions. I had my front plastics hanging by my blinker wire (stupid I know but my said fairing is broken in half so it was the lighter smaller side) and it fell on the ground pulling the wires apart. I go to put them back together and I see this: (Please click link, I cant seem to...

So i was always wondering why the used bike i bought only had one frame slider, got around to ordering a pair recently, and found out that the previous owner broke off a bolt inside there. any ideas to get it out, and even if i did i dont see that being able to be retapped for a bigger bolt...

Hi, Last year, I bought a wrecked 2007 FZ6 for a go-cart. The guy started and it ran the engine. Been in garage for about a year so I figured I should change fuel and run it for awhile. I drained the fuel and put in about a 1/2 gallon. When I turn it on, the pump did not prime. so I went...

Picked up a horribly neglected 05FZ6 with 23k on it. After a few hundred miles and everything seemed OK pulled some maintenance on it. Changed all the fluids new plugs and fix a bunch of piddly stuff. And after changing the oil I put about 50 miles on it and gained a lot of free play in the...
