Hi all,

I'm Gavin from Newport Beach, CA. I just bought this puppy off a buddy of mine for 600 bucks. It's my first bike. It needs some work. I hope I'm in the right place.

I got the bike started up but it's knocking. I'm thinking a valve job? I'm not sure where to get parts and a manual. The turn signals don't work and the fuel gauge doesn't work. Also the neutral light doesn't come on. Let me know if any of you can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hi all. My name is Michael, I live in Western N.S.W. Australia married with no kids YET. Scored an 06 Fazer (the stealth black one) from a mate early last year after he decided to get rid of it. He came off in 07 and broke his ankle when he got home and parked it he never got back in the saddle, I "stole" it from him for $3500.00, fixed it then had to wait till I go my bike licence (very painful).
Have had the licence since Nov. 10 and am now looking for riding partners.
Cheers.
Michael

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. My name is Milos, only 20 years old, and I come from Serbia. That is Middle Balcans, South-Eastern part of Europe, for those who doesn't know. Been on bike since I was 16, ridden Honda XL650V TransAlp '01 for about 40.000kms, and a VFR 800 V-tec '05 for about the same.

Few months ago, I became an owner of a '08 FZ6 Fazer S2, ABS version, equipped with a Givi 440D touring windscreen, Kappa K46 topcase, and a Givi TN358 engine guard. Only put about 1000 kms (700 miles) until now, beacuse it's snowing outside, but I expect nice riding when it gets warm.

Hi! My name is Jouko and I living in Sammatti Finland. I have FZ6S -04 (faster blue). It is my sixth Yamaha. First was rd 350 lc and then Virago 535 -89 x2, xv 750 -87 AME and Diversion 600. Before was one Kawasaki kz 250 -80.

Then I have a one Honda cb 350 k4 model 1973. I have owned it 13 years.

I bought fz last saturday and I think can ride first time in april maybe ( In South Finland we have just so much snow.

I´m happy I found this forum:rockon:

G'day, Im a 41 yo Aussie, Mrs, 3 kids, dog and a mortgage, just bought myself a "new" 2006 FZ6S in shiny red colour. Its got 47000K's on it, but it cleans up pretty good. Only had it 1 week, already started the mods, courtesy of Boneman's site (http://www.bonemanfz6.com/mods.htm). Removed center stand day 2, removed fender, about to chop down the rear hugger, ordered anodised shifters, bar ends, SS brake lines.... what else...... a few other blingy bits, mainly cosmetic at this stage. Ive only ridden it twice so far (due to rains and floods) but it feels great and loves to dip into corners. Ive had about 7 bikes, most recently a VTR Firestorm and then a Suzuki Boulevard, but this one could be a keeper. Trying to find the bike that suits me more as I move into middle-agedom, but clearly not ready for cruising just yet!
OK, that's enough about me for now. I'll post some pics once I get all the bling on.
Cheers,
CD.

Hey! I'm Candice, from Perth Western Australia.

Only bought my '06 FZ6S (in red) today having learnt on a CBR250RR an FZ6 wasn't something I'd ever thought to upgrade too, but after seeing the one I have I was instantly in love and had to have it lol

This forum kept popping up whenever I did a search so it felt right to join!

Have only been riding for 10months, still 2 months till I can sit my open license test so not sure how much "legal" riding I'll be able to do on the fazer until then. Guess I'll start trolling the forum to find out what bits & pieces I want to buy to make her even prettier

Hi folks I'm Iain from the scottish Borders. Just thought I'd say hi as I've recently bought a 2008 FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS. Been biking since 1994 and have had a Yamaha FZR600R, Honda VF500, Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit, Honda CB500, Honda CBR600FS and now a Fazer. As I'm now 40 I found the sportier bikes uncomfortable so wanted a more upright riding position and the fazer is like a trail bike it's great. Quite a roomy bike I'm 6,1" and it's good for me god help those shorter in the leg, as the seat height is high I just get my feet down flat. I was tempted going bigger cc have had a go on bigger bikes but you know what I find 600's more than adequate I'd lose my license otherwise! I've read all kinds of reports about the fazer not being torquey enough but I disagree. I find the fuels injection spot on, really smooth and pulls from zero revs. My previous bikes that were carb'd would need revved to hell and back but not the fazer. Really happy with it, going on some touring thru Europe this year and usual scottish highlands etc can't wait for spring/summer. My only gripes, the usual flaky and poor anodizing of bolts etc on yamahas. I knew this from my fzr but I intend to replace some bolts with stainless or titanium. Anyway hi everybody, be safe out there. cheers.
