Ducati Monster 696 I didn't feel that i was being squished up against the tank, although many people complain about it. i am a smaller guy and the Monster definitely fits a smaller guy right out of the box. My Fz6R is lowered a bit whereas the Monster fit me fine. Modifications can be made to...

I test rode a Ducati Monster 696 on the weekend. The demo rides were approximately an hour in length under all kinds of driving conditions, stop and go traffic, street and highways as well as freeway riding with some pretty good curves including off /on ramps etc.... My first impression was wow...

Besides losing my sunglasses from time to time and also not really liking the optics of riding with glasses and a visor on my Arai helmet, I considered buying a tinted visor. Quite expensive on the Arai Corsair 5 helmet....around $100.00 Cdn. The only visor available was a medium tint, which...

leo vince exhaust picture This was the exhaust i was referring to....not the one that has been shown in this thread. http://www.600cc.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=18755&stc=1&d=1273906034

Does anyone know much about the Leo Vince full exhaust system that's available for the FZ6R. I was at a local bike shop in Vancouver Canada and was inquiring about the Two Brothers exhaust system when the fellow at the bike shop showed me a Leo Vince exhaust system made specifically for the...

Bc Bikes 2009 Black Fz6r in Coquitlam

I've had my Fz6r for about three weeks now, and have approx 1200 kms on the odometer and am now considering opting out for the lowering link. I had the dealer adjust the preload to the lowest setting and removed / reversed the rubber plugs under the seat ( advice from a member of the forum ) and...

Tinted or Black Thanks for all the info. Based on everything I've read it seems like the shorter tinted windshield is more appealing and arguably better looking but the clear windshield offers a tiny bit more wind protection. The general consensus is that they are both better than stock. I...

As anyone sourced out a centrestand for the Fz6r.....thanks

Hope this topic has not been beaten to death in another forum. I brought my Fz6r in today for it's 1000 km service and it wasn't until I went to pay that i was informed that the shop put in synthetic oil. ( Not a Yamaha shop ) It is a well known local shop involved in many biking community...

Just completed 1000kms in two weeks and want to share some thoughts on the Fz6R. First off the bike is everything I anticipated it being , fun to ride , easy to ride and overall a very smooth running and well thought out machine. Good job Yamaha, a sporty yet comfortable bike. Some little...

Picked up my new Fz6r on Saturday, I am 54 years old.

Picked up my new Fz6r and just puttered around the city with some light highway sections. Rode around 120 km today. First impressions were positive. Very smooth and relatively quiet motor......may consider a two bros exhaust in the future. The bike was really comfortable, and easy to ride. Light...

Thanks for the reply, Fz6r also has fuel injection, a full fairing and hopefully should be more versatile with the extra wind protection for some light touring. cheers

Thanks for your reply. Not sure I understand what you mean by the kickstand...is the Roaring Toyz lowering link a good idea....How about the stiffness of the suspension with the link. Cheers

Purchased a new Black 2009 Fz6r today and will be picking it up on Sat. I am really excited about the bike and it's potential. My previous bike was a 2006 Honda 599 Hornet ( naked inline 4 )that I purchased in 2008. I didn't realize how good the bike was until i sold it. They are hard to come...

I sold my naked Honda 599 last summer and am regretting not having a sportier bike. ( I have a 1994 Magna 750 Honda presently.) Anyways the Honda is a great bike, but I don't want to buy the same bike again. I have never ridden the FZ6R but I am interested in both riding and possibly owning one...
