If any one is in the area I have my fz6 up for sale. I like it but I was aiming for something more adventure style. And the speed on this bike makes me want to speed a little to often... lol selling it for 3500 if any one is interested. Has Corbin seat. Extended wind screen and engine cage as...

I have a Yamaha FZ6 2008 My speedometer shows way too high values ~2-3 times more than actual speed. It is the "same" with the tachometer. It shows 2-3 times actual revs. This occurred after the winter-rest. I had forgotten to charge the battery during the winter, but it was not totally...

Where to begin? I won't lead the witness but if you know who the subject line refers too and for example, your ISP speed sucks and you by chance used a utility to check your speed and found it was ahhhhhh, lets say 70 to 80% lower than what you PAY FOR..... Keep reading! - ya, I swear there...

Hi, the FZ6 engine stops at the traffic light quite often. I try to change / set idle speed. Unfortynately it helps shortly. the engine speed changes themselves - faster - slower

Hi Everyone. I just moved the site to a new faster server with SSD drives. Let me know if you notice a difference in the site speed or if you notice any bugs.. Thanks Dennis

Does anyone have any experience in going up 1 tooth on the front sprocket? Does it help with the economy and engine RPM for highway speed? If so, how bad does it hinder performance? Thanks for your time and expertise!

Was out on a very long, very flat, very empty piece of desert road this weekend with a few other riders and we had a little impromptu speed run. Was pretty close to redline in 3rd and then 4th for quite a while, was contemplating shifting up again, but as soon as I hit one more digit...

Read a thread on the forums about R6 cam swapping, and I have to say it's an interesting read to hear about the increased pull in the higher end of the rev range. I've noticed that most supersports pull harder and faster than the FZ6 by a fair margin - and I've been wondering what the...

Heya folks. Noticed an issue recently where if my throttle is at a certain position while riding the exhaust sound gets really sputtery and choppy, and I end up losing speed (RPMs get 'stuck' and slowly decrease) unless I let off a bit or increase it. There seems to be a discernible dead zone in...

I had a new tire put on my bike yesterday and my Japanese mechanic was amazed that my bike has almost 60,000km on it and the chain and sprockets have little wear (originals), the suspension hasn't had the oil changed, the brake pads and spark plugs have only been changed once, and the bike is...

For the Tech Folks, take a look and see what they did. Circuit ended up being pretty easy as was the code for the PIC IC used. Home-made speedo correction circuit - schematics/help needed! Sadly it kinda stops without a full install conclusion. Date ~ 2010 TAG: JJD952 Speed

For kicks I measured the roll out distance of of NEW and USED tire to see how it impacts speedometer error during tire life. Specifically a Battlax BT023 rear tire inflated but worn into center wear bars and the new tire inflated to the same 37PSI but never ran on the bike. Used mounted 37PSI...

This simple chart shows you how Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO affect your photos - 9GAG This is very similar to the page that made the whole light, shutter speed and film speed interrelationships, make sense for me when I started to shoot nearly 40 years ago. I have to say that when I...

Here is my FAZ S2 ABS, a 2007 model with about 20.000 km. To my own opinion, it's a great bike*: Well built and finished. I'm sure that it ages well. good engine and very good frame. A real motorbike wich accelerate, brake, and really takes the corner. It 's not the bike who dictate its...

So, I had a weird issue when I took my bike out yesterday for a couple hours. A bit of background: Run a Battery Tender Junior on the bike for about 2 months to get ready for the season. Also installed a USB port so I could charge my phone/use it as a GPS. Bike starts out running fine...

Some of you may have seen my posts about getting an fz6..... Picked her up yesterday 2007 red the sexier? one 3250 Never been droped.... 7900 miles soo clean... garage and show room floor Queen. Stock rear tire so that will have to go, The shifting is clunkier than i thought it would be...

My bike idles at roughly 750 rpm. Per the service manual it should be around 1300. I want to increase it, but it says the throttle bodies should be synced beforehand. While I plan on doing it in the future, I haven't made the gauge set to do it yet. So the question is, can I bump up the idle...

I bought a new front tire for my bike recently. Pirelli Diablo Rosso II 120/70 R17 58H "H" mark means, max speed is 210km/h If it was "W" that would mean that speed limit would be 270km/h and the price is a bit more expensive. I've never passed 200km/h since i owned my bike, so i guess it...

According to a story on visor down the police are posting speed camera's this week along some of the more popular Yorkshire roads, I've seen pics on facebook of snow covered Yorkshire so I suspect it's more aimed at the car drivers, but if anyone is still on the road keep an eye out. Speed...
