Take it easy Charlie. I've got an angle.
Routine is about right. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But I tend to push things a bit too far sometimes. I just like to see how far, how long, or what every something will last.
Since it made it this far, I will be getting inside the engine to take care of some minor things.
As for my riding, it all depends. Bad day at work and I'm on the throttle all the way home. Weekends I'll keep the revs where I can feel the engine pulling. I rarely look at the tach or speedo.

Very cool. Makes me even more confident in my bike. We hear lots of stories of high mileage bikes, and very very few stories of blown engines.
Congrats!

Very impressed! That is a lot of mileage to ride on the bike. I am keeping my FZ forever!

These engines Do seem to be almost bullet-proof. Thanks so much for your info.
As I said on here once before: I have a buddy who worked at two Yamaha dealerships and he told me that he had yet to see an FZ6 that needed a valve adjustment! (This made me feel very good about mine) Safe riding!

Just measured the front springs. Everything is still well within spec. I do think it is time to replace the rear shock though.

I love these theads. Myself, being new to bikes, I feel overwhelmed by all of the little things you are supposed to change. If I can get by sometime with just changing the oil and oiling the chain I will be estatic.

I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days. It has been sitting all weekend so that should be good.

Congrats on the 100k mile acheivement. I'm also a fan of Shell Rotella oil, I've been using it for many years in several different vehicles and reading your post is encouraging. I past 100k on my BMW but that's not a surprise. My 06 FZ is just a baby compared to yours (2500 mi).
