    Clock and Trips Reset when engine is turn off

    Hey All, New to the site! :) I have a Yamaha FZ6 2007 that I bought 3 years ago and I absolutely love it!! I recently (this season) have run into an issue with my trips and clock resetting everytime I turn off my engine, so it is always 1:00 when I ride hahaha! It is quite annoying...

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    So I have an 08 FZ6 with a brand new/new (I'll explain below) Corbin seat and after a six hour ride through God's country in the Smoky Mountains (Cherohala Skyway), not only was my crotch numb, but upper back between the shoulder blades just below the top of my spine was an 8/10 on the pain...

    My name is Mack. I just got a naked version 2010 FZ6 S2 from a friend in the U.K. I'm not really into bikes when I was younger and just learned to ride 3 years ago. There are a lot of things that I still don't know so please bear with me. I hope we can all get along. Thanks!

    First ride of the season, first ride naked.

    It was beautiful today, so I did my season opener oil change and safety check, and went for about a 2 hour ride. Really enjoying the conversion!

    Am new to your site and bought and 2006 FZ 600 twin under tail exhaust model about a year ago. The bike was a brand new one owner bike that was traded back to my local dealer in San Diego with 617 original miles. A deal too good to pass up. I have ridden street and dirt all my life and have...

    First ride with the R6 forks on my 05 ------- WOW

    So for a long time my riding pals have been telling me how different the bike is with R6 forks. Words like 'more planted in the corners', 'the best mod ever for the FZ6', and stuff like that. I figured they were better, but as time passed I wondered if my expectations had grown bigger than what...

    Chain guard/guide fell off...am I okay to ride home without it?

    I had no idea until my wife texted me that she found it lying in the driveway. I'm at work now, is it okay to ride home without it on? I didn't notice any weird noise on the way here, so I'm guessing it's fine? Part #5 here

    I Just Couldn't Take it Anymore

    With an expected 12-18 inches of snow due tomorrow, followed by a week of cold weather, I got out on my FZ today to take a late winter ride. I generally don't like to get out until the roads are cleared of the sand and salt at the intersections, but I figured if I didn't get out today (50...

    Location devices for safety

    I know many riders don't ride the terrain we do here in SoCal but this is not just about riding. My wife and I love nature and we hike when ever we get a chance to. We have many local trails in beautiful areas (canyons) within 2 miles of us. This story about a couple hiking in Joshua Tree...
