Howdy. I'm from CA and I a fairly recent rider, having bought an 09 FZ6 earlier this year. I commute school, work, and recreation and the fz6 is more than up to it. I'm not all that mechanically skilled, but I enjoy working on the bike, although sadly I've had to do more than planned. But this forum is great for that, so it's all good.

:welcome: to this great forum everyone. We love pictures, so when you get a chance, post up so pics of your ride.

Hello!

I am Ivo from Croatia (ivocro). I am 34 and from yesterday I am proud owner of MINT Yamaha FZ6 Fazer S2...

Little about the bike.
- Bought her from 1st owner
- She is ABS version
- Has 21.100 kilometers
- She has no scratches, not one! When I went to see her I bought her immediately, I was feeling like I was looking new bike in a saloon!
- She has new battery, new tires, oil changed... I have nothing to do!...

Some more about me...
This is my 2nd bike, first one was Kawasaki ER5 and I had it only couple months, and compared to this one, ER5 is a toy... So I am a fresh driver, this is why I was extremely happy to see this one has ABS! I am 34 years, and I work in IT...

Cheers!!

Howdy! My name is Austin and I just purchased one of the most beat up motorcycles I've ever seen and it happens to be a 2005 FZ6S. It's one of the blue ones but it isn't all that fast since I can't get it started... I'm looking forward to getting it running and getting help from all of my new friends!

A little background about myself:
I live in College Station, Texas and I am an industrial & systems engineering student at Texas A&M.
This is my first bike and I've never ridden anything other than a dirtbike before this.
I like the naked look and since the front fairing of my bike was destroyed when the previous owner laid it down, it's the obvious way to go.

Can't wait to get started on the bike!

Hello everybody, New introduction for a relatively new member. I live in South Africa, in the Capitol City Pretoria, our climate is very forgiving towards biking all year round when using sensible riding gear. Been on the FZ6 (2006) model since August 2016 as a first bike, average about 1500km's per month on a daily commute, with some easy riding on weekends. This site has really assisted in understanding the bike so much better, making it lots easier to ride and maintain..

Hello everyone,

Danny here from Cortlamdt Manor, NY and now the proud owner of a 2008 FZ6. This is my third bike, first was a 2006 SV650 then a 2008 Kawasaki ZZR600 and now the FZ6. It's all black with a Scorpion exhaust already on it. I love the bike so far, very peppy, super comfortable and fun with only a couple of gripes. My first gripe is the clutch, very heavy pull which I'm not used to, I like being able to actuate it with 2 fingers. I'm going to install a new cable and hopefully that will help a little. My second gripe is that whoever had it before swapped the sprockets for a -1 +2 which don't get me wrong is loads of fun but this is a bike that will log a lot of highway miles so I may stay at the -1 front sprocket and go back to stock rear. Speedo is also was off so I'll install a speede healer. Just did my first mod which was the dual headlight mod and it was super simple. Soon to come are the sprockets with a new chain, new clutch cable, new levers and maybe some new fork and shock springs more suited to a guy that weighs about 210 with gear. Overall I'm super happy with the bike and looking forward to a great riding season.

Danny

Hi,

I'm Jamie from Surrey British Columbia.
I just picked up my second motorcycle, a 2004 Fz6, yesterday. I have not even ridden it on the street yet.
I am happy to see there is a forum that focuses on these bikes, I have had good experiences in other forums for other things I have gotten into in the past. Looking forward to the same here.
I am an Aircraft Electrician by trade, and am looking forward to digging into that part of things. I also prefer to do as much work as I can myself.
My first task is to figure out what items should be inspected prior to getting this bike on the road, I am sure I will find a thread to that effect on here somewhere.

Cheers.

Jamie.

Evening all,
I'm Phil and come from over the pond in England, I have a very slow blue/silver & black 2006 FZ6 S (compered to the blue ones allegedly). My first big bike since passing my test and a joy to ride when trying to keep up with a friends R1 :D. It even puts a big smile on my face every day I commute even though I have to ride in totally arse weather most of the time .
