Ok guys don't beat me up to bad. I have an 09 FZ6R and it just hit 600 miles today. Being military I was away from my bike for many years. I have many injuries that keep me from riding. Last time I rode it was in 2015. I dislocated my right knee patella for the 4th time in July of 2015. Since...

VA declared me 100% disabled and now with my pension I make $6,000 a month sitting on my butt. :)

09 FZ6R the manual states 10W-40 and 20W-50. The sticker on the swing arm states 20W-40 and 10W-30. Anyone ever try 20W-40 or the 10W-30 in their bike? Why the difference between manual and swing arm sticker?

Had this stand now for about 3 years and only used it like 3 times and the rubber coating is already coming off the the part that lifts the swing arms. Waist of money now my swing arms are all scratched up. May have to buy some of that rubber in a can spray and try that. Cheap quality stand so...

What brand and grade oil is every one running in their bike currently? I'm gonna do an oil change soon. My next fill will be Shell Rotella 15W-40 with a K&N 204 oil filter. Just want to get a feel for what everyone else is running in their bikes. Thanks.

I only have been riding for 4 years just want some thoughts on low budget helmets. I'm not wealthy with a wife and 3 kids and 1 in college. My bike is just my once in awhile ride toy. I usually just ride with a helmet and gloves here in Florida. I have 3 helmets, 2 Hawk and 1 THH. The hawks were...

I am residing in VA for military reasons which requires insurance on bikes and my bike is registered in Florida which doesn't require insurance on bikes and I don't have any at the moment, but will be getting some soon when the funds are full. Does any know if I can ride in VA with no insurance...

Hey what's up peeps? Some of you all might remember me. Well if you don't I'm military and got an 09 FZ6R back in March 09 and it been in storage since. Well I'm in VA now and finally have my bike with me to ride everyday. Since March 09 I only managed to put 252 miles on it and no service what...

Found this while searching Flickr on yahoo. Poor bike and hope this guy gets better soon. Motorcycle Crash 17 Jun 09 - a set on Flickr

I was just looking at these 2 bikes and wondering what is the major differences between them. Does anyone here own them or ridden on one before?

If you find yourself bored on Sunday afternoon, and if the weather permits, you may soon be wishing you had something that was fun and exciting to do. A motorcycle, they say, is the most fun you will ever have on the ground. As an avid cyclist, and as someone who just loves having a good time, I...

My FZ6R is 3 months old with only 32 miles on it. Should I change the oil now as it could take over a year or more for me to put 600 miles on it. The reason, I am Military in VA and my bike is in Florida and I only ride it when ever I go visit my family. I won't be able to ride it every day till...

Is that just a black cover for the stock exhaust pipes?

Robin Tuluie, who once used to work with Polaris and who’s now with the Renault F1 team, has come up with this unique motorcycle – the Tularis 800 – which two-stroke fanatics should love. The bike is fitted with a two-stroke, 772cc parallel-twin (taken off a Polaris snowmobile!) that produces a...

Well I went into my local bike shop and saw both just sitting there right next to an FZ6R. I love my FZ6R but I fell in love with the R6 and R1 styling. I might pick both up just to say I have them and just stare at them in my garage. I might be crazy but I am so tempted to do it. :Sport:

Well most of you know I just completed the BRC 2 weeks ago. I rode a Ninja 250 and a Suzuki GZ 250 in the course for about 8 hours combined. I have yet to get on my FZ6R since I got it 2 months ago. I am really nervous on how much power the 600cc engine will have in first. I plan on doing what I...

Just a thought. Is there anyway to take a chain driven sport bike and convert it to a belt driven sportbike? Just wondering if anyone ever got this done or seen it done. Thanks!

I want to get the frame sliders for my bike from Yamaha. I know they need to make some modifications to the fairings to put them on. I was wondering if anyone got these already and how much of the fairing needs to be cut away. I heard they are much stronger then the intutive no cut frame...

I'm a new rider with no miles on my bike at this time. I will get to ride it for the first time on 1 June. I was planning on getting Frame Sliders for it. But I been doing research on stunt and crash cages. Anyone know of any crash cages available now for the FZ6R? There are 2 types, one that...
