ride

My 2004 FZ6 switched to 2 cylinders last Friday at the end of my commute home. I saw both fault codes 33 and 34. I replaced the plugs and did the "vibration fix" repair to the spark plug boots, and it was great all week until cutting back to 2 again halfway through my way to work yesterday. Like...

Greetings FZ6 Family, Just wanted to kick the riding season off (I know some ride year round) with somethings you may already know. 1. It may have been awhile since riding, get some practice time in, it will build your confidence 2. BOLO: Be on the Look Out: Remember, cars are not...

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'm having a problems with ride comfort on my FZ6. After an hour or so on my commute, I don't want to be on the bike - ever again. My legs cramp cause there is only one position (I'm 53 years old and 275lbs). However, I wonder what others might have done to tweak the system in favor of comfort...

OK - I woke up to 6 inches of snow. When I went to sleep, there wasn't a single fleck of snow on the ground. IIt hasn't stopped snowing all day. I'm done with this winter already!:spank: I want to ride and I want to ride now. NDOT had just finished cleaning up all the sand from the last...

Yamaha has announced that Motobot their bike riding robot has entered it's second phase of development. Yamaha Motobot phase 2 would you ride pillion EEK!

I've noticed that my clutch lever is REALLY stiff. Just lubed it up today and will see how it performs on the next ride. Do you find that the clutch pull on the FZ6 is pretty stiff?

Left Reno-Lake Tahoe Int'l Airport Thursday Morning for: My ride curbside at Sea-Tac: Inside the showroom, she sits waiting. 2014 Multistrada ST You damn right it's sold! The team at Ducati of Seattle was wonderful. Everything was done over the phone and it was easy peasy...

Went for a day ride on Sunday. Together with a mate of mine we organised a days ride around Utrecht. Leaving home the weather was great, blue skies and Sunshine but after riding the 40 minutes to the starting café in Abcoude we were shrouded in mist. Luckily during our half hour coffee break...

It's been too long! This summer has been a hot one and to top it off I'm back working part time again. I was finishing up some side work on a neighbors condo when a second job came along which tied all my normal retired free time up! Lol! This meant little time for me to ride. Now the condo is...

A riding buddy of mine has a 2015 Yamaha R1M (#22 out of 500 in the world). This is my friend that has the Gamma 2 stroke you were all drooling over awhile back. This summer he offered to let me ride it. I chickened out. He wanted to ride my Street Triple R. After I got home that day I...

That gear is your life. It does not matter how slow or fast you go, a highside will really mess up your day. Any wreck you can walk away from is a good one(if you have to wreck that is) Gravel is NOT your friend Don't ride alone if you can help it. There was someone who did, went off the...

After 2 weeks of not being allowed to ride (hernia operation), I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms :( (The only other time I went this long was when I was away on holiday) luckily I'll be back on the road tomorrow :rockon: I still have to be careful moving my bike onto the road, but I'll...

High Rocks Look Out

I put a deposit on a 2013 FZ1n yesterday :thumbup: Will take delivery early next week. Time to tidy up the 6 and get ready to sell, going to be a sad day. I've had her for 5 years and 110,000 k's (68,350 miles) and loved every minute. I only have one pic of the new ride for now, more...

Couple of friends are organizing a small ride this weekend, either to Bear Mnt, Palisades toward NJ, or Whiteplains/Yonkers. Will start morning. Anyone in the area free to join or voice an opinion :rockon:.

As the title says, I swapped out my old stock spark plugs (overdue for both years and mileage) for some long life Iridiums. As per reading, I didn't gap them at all - just plug and play. Old plugs were obviously used, but were otherwise in good condition and didn't appear to have been fouled in...

Hey! I'm new to this forum. I owe the a2 lisence that gives me the chance to ride a bike that is limited to 35 kw, and I can't get for one more year the A lisence, so Iguess I'm stuck.There are a few motorcycles that I could ride at this point, but the thing is I read that fzs600 can be limited...

tires, and a heck of a ride First what tires do you guys recommend for spirited riding, bike currently has battle axes which did okay. But I would like something a little more performance oriented but will last more than 3k miles. Now for the ride part. Went on a ride with an r6 and a...
