Anyone here ever attempted to repair cracked plasic on their bike? Previous owner dropped it and put a couple cracks in the upper fairing. Nothing serious, I could leave it and be just fine. But if it isn't a total PITA I might try repairing this winter. I have a small dent in the tank I may...

So with the recent tropical storm Jose, I was notified by my apartment complex's maintenance guy (also a rider), that the wind had knocked my bike over not once, but twice (he picked it up once). When I got home that evening, there was a large puddle of oil next to the bike and oil spread all...
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...
Hi all,
I wrecked my baby Saturday night, and while I heal up, I need to decide how to fix it. Most of the front plastic was shattered.
Options:
1) Repair S1: Maintains the look, simple, possibly the most expensive (new cowling, new visors, new interior panels, possibly headlights but...
Hey All,
I just picked up a 2007 FZ6 about a month ago, and I'm looking for some guidance on how to be a responsible owner. Just as a heads up, this is my first time on a Yamaha or an FZ6, so I'm coming with relatively little prior knowledge of these machines.
My History-
I started...
I bought my '05 FZ6 a few months ago for a good deal. It has 45,000 miles, but runs well. Unfortunately, I didn't see the crankcase repair done with JB Weld (which was seeping). After a more thorough inspection, I found the jacked up repair (with a quarter in it for good luck).
I appears...

Anyways, in my haste to get on vacation and stop myself from worrying I went ahead claimed insurance on it. But this is my first go around with any thing motorcycle related concerning insurance, repair, etc. In hind sight I'm thinking i shouldn't have...
I recently had an accident on my 2007 FZ6 but i was able to get the bike started and even rode it around a few hours later. Beside lots of cosmetic damage, the handlebar is pretty bent on the right hand side (bike fell on the right side) as the tank landed on to of it. Ive ordered a new set of...
Well last weekend I took an unfortunate spill, going about 45. My frame slider broke off as well as my crankcase cover. The stator was destroyed, as well as the generator. While removing the remains of the crank cover I found that a small chunk on the bottom of my engine block missing. My friend...
So I came across a damaged stator cover from my old 07+ when I was cleaning the garage the other day and was wondering if I could fix it. I replaced it at the time because a can of true color-match paint is nearly $50 with shipping.
Long story short; Off to Advance Auto i went. The first can...
