    Question What's your odometer reading?

    I bought my 2015 FZ6R brand new from the dealer. Rolled up 55,000 kilometers this summer. The 848 is nice for track days, but I'd consider a multistrada to be a better companion for the FZ6R. The multistrada can do offroad, is much more comfortable seating position, and is much tamer than the...

    Valve Clearance Adjustment

    Currently have 44,000 km on my 2015 FZ6R. Owners manual states valve clearance adjustment needs to be done at 43,000 km so I called the Yamaha dealer where I live and asked about getting it done.

    Annoying vibration/buzzing sound

    Mine makes the same buzzing noise. It's the left front fairing. The one that touches the gas tank. If your riding and its buzzing, take your left hand and hold this piece of fairing firmly. For me, that stops the buzzing and so I wedged a piece of black foam under there to stop it.

    New member welcome thread

    Just bought a 2015 (new) FZ6R. I live in St. John's Newfoundland and no local Yamaha dealers carried this bike, so I had to special order it in. I put the $500 deposit on it March 10 and got preapproved for the financing, and the bike arrived June 2. That was a long wait! Upgrading form an R3 I...
