Hello Gurus, I bought a 2008 fz6 with 11,800mi (19000 km) now it has 13,170mi (21200 km) Recently my battery died, the mechanics recommendation was change it an also changed stator and the regulator assy . But now, a strange situation comes in, when riding and suddenly stop accelerating...

2002 CBR600F4i w/ 49,000km. New oil, plugs, fluids, filter, tires, chain, and sprockets! Runs like a top, and is in great shape all things considered! Time for some winter touch ups, and prepping for the next season! I figure pissing off the rents by riding it down the street already without...

Hi fellow riders, my name is Miguel (wasp555) from Estoril in Portugal. I used to own a 1999 FZS 600 untill i crashed it 3 years ago, and had a 2 years recovery. Yesterday i got back into riding and bought a 2004 FZ6 , and i´m hoping for some good times with her ;) As we say here in Portugal...

I just finished my 6th season as a biker all inclusive years having the FZ6. It's been a good run with many zen moments, exhilaration and friends made. The vibe this year was just totally different. 2 of my good riding buddies domestic situations have changed (think turning into real grownups...

As some of you may or may not know I recently sold my FZ6 and bought an FZ1. I have not had time to post any photos as I have been busy riding her as much as possible before I have to put her away for the season. Not to detract from the 6 but I love this bike in every way more than my old one...

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...

I have an '04 FZ6 Fazer and I love the comfortable suspension but it feels a bit too soft around corners. I have done all mods and servicing on the bike myself but have never tuned bike suspension before. I read somewhere that to set it up properly you have to do things in the correct order...

Anyone have any experience? I just picked up a couple of pieces from them. I got the All Season Parka and the Matrix Overpants. I'm hoping they will keep me somewhat warm commuting to work in the fall. The jacket doesn't seem like it has must abrasion resistance, but it does have armor...

From a previous thread, I have been receiving routine starting failure, with an error code 12 showing up once. Many have suggested checking all the wires, although I have yet to do so I am almost certain that it's not a connection issue because it has never been an issue riding. You would...

Good evening guys and gals! I recently bought a FZ6 and I am just taking this opportunity to introduce myself. This is my ride below and after buying the bike it developed a electrical fault which had me going round in circles. Now it's fixed I cannot wait to put some miles on her riding two and...

Been a while sense I've been here. Not even sure any of the people I know are still here, but I was thinking about y'all today. Weather has been nice, people have been riding and I saw a nice FZ-6 today. I just wanted to say, enjoy your rides and ride often. You never know when you won't be...

Selling a bike for a friend of mine. We are in need of a single bar end weight. I scrounged one up from a riding buddy, just missing one side. Anyone have one?

Over the last week or so I have noticed that on cornereing my bike doesn't track exactly how I figure it should. I checked tire pressures and it was all ok, only about 5000kms on the Z8's so plenty of life there still. Tha handling is like hitting a tar snake or riding along a white lane...

Just a little story from a ride yesterday and sorry I do not have pictures. This is the first time this has happened to me and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. I got together with a group of guys I know from the corner Bar for a ride. Of course they all have custom...

My bike is acting funny, I was riding down the road and it lost power, not complete shutdown but the gas seemed to not work it and would not go above 2000 rpms I lowered the gear down to 1st and it still wouldn't go anywhere just slowed to a stop. lowering the gears did nothing.... Then it cut...

This morning I went to my local Yamaha dealer to collect a new clutch cable for my FZ, I figured after 11 years it was probably due a new one. Anyway, on their floor they had 4 blue R3s. What a stunning little bike! I immediately thought that this would be a great re-starter for my wife, and...

I survived 4 months of training and pinned on my Warrant Officer bars yesterday! I can't wait to get my bike out of storage and start riding again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I skimmed through the suspension setup thread but couldn't figure out the answer to my question. I have a stock 2008 FZ6 with the factory rear preload setting. I live in NYC (bumpy roads) and am 5'11" 160lbs. When riding solo I feel like the rear suspension is incredibly jarring, to the point...

So, I've been somewhat distracted over the past few years after getting my 2007 FZ6, got bored with street riding and started focusing more on dualsport/offroad riding. After finally getting a pair of bikes that are supremely comfortable and fun to ride off-road, I feel like I can pay more...
