So I took an evening ride last Thursday, and at some point I heard a sound that would be similar to sucking a leaf up/into an intake. It only lasted a few seconds, and caught me so off-guard that I don't remember it all too well. I pulled over and checked everything, but could not find the...

All, wondering if anyone has upgraded their stock headlight without going the HID conversion way. If so, what brand/model did you get, and how do you like it? Trying to decide between the HID conversion and a simple upgraded bulb-switch.

So I'm taking a nice 300mi trip home to upstate NY next weekend, and I don't currently own any hard cases or luggage. I'm planning on taking a medium size duffle bag along for the ride, but am unsure about how to secure it on the back of the bike. Does anyone have any...

Evening All, I just put on my new tinted Yamaha OEM windshield, but was surprised to find out it's about an inch shorter than stock. The website listed the clear bubble as an inch taller than stock, and the tinted an inch shorter than the clear, a'la the same height as stock...

Just curious as to how people feel about the recommended shift points in the Owner's Manual. 1st > 2nd: 12.5 mph 2nd > 3rd: 18.8 mph 3rd > 4th: 25.0 mph 4th > 5th: 31.3 mph 5th > 6th: 37.5 mph I personally think 1>2>3 seem ok, but 3>4>5>6 seem pretty low to me. I feel like the bike...

So yesterday I decided to raise the seat to the High position to see how the extra leg room would feel (6'2" is a bit cramped in the Low). The switch is super easy and only took about 10 minutes. The only downside I've noticed is that the seat seems a bit wobbly now. Has anyone else...

I'm trying to get a measurement of the widest point on the FZ6R. I have a storage area in my building's parking garage that I'd like to store my bike in (once I get it), and was wondering if it would clear the doorway. Could someone do me a big favor and measure the widest point? I imagine...

During the limited insurance research I've done, it seems like Comprehensive and Collision pretty much quintuple the basic premium of Bodily Injury & Property. Most quotes I got were around 300-500. Comprehensive seemed to add between 500-700, and Collision 1,200-1,600. I know insurance has...

Pardon my Noob-ness, but I was just wondering what frame sliders were for. From what I've read, they're basically to minimize damage to the fairing in the instance the bike goes down. Any other purpose? That said, they seem to be a smart purchase for a new rider such as myself. So far I've...

Good afternoon everyone, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi and ask a couple questions. I'm new to the sport, and basically have no experience other than a dirtbike ride or two a long time ago. I'm taking my MSC this Friday-Sunday, and am looking to pick up an FZ6R sometime...
