So far mine has gotten up to 214 in heavy stop and go traffic. It's been so hot here. I wear my jacket, gloves, and helmet but I do wear shorts riding everyday to class. That makes me only half a squid, I think.

I'm not worried about my temperature. For fun, I want to see what everyone is getting in this summer heat.

What is the highest engine temperature you are seeing this summer?

What I do is keep plastic safety specs under the seat. I wear them and lift my mirrored visor as needed when it is dark. This is so easy and it avoids carrying the clear visor in a backpack when I don't want to.

Thanks for doing all the hard work. That buzz was driving me nuts! Thanks to your post I now know what the cause is. I did the lazy fix by taping the thing in place with black gorilla tape. Buzz gone. Thanks.

It would be nice if Osram Sylvania had SilverStars for the FZ6R.

In Arkansas it is legal for a motorcycle to run a red light if the light does not change and it is safe to do so.

I'm thinking they would look great on the 6R. The stalks are better looking.

Do yourself a favor and try on an Arai Profile. A 2009 model can be had for $300-$350. Lightweight and excellent quality. You might find a graphic you want.

Anyone know if the 2011 FZ1 mirrors will work on 6R without drilling? Just glancing at a photo of the FZ1, the attach points look similar to 6R's.

I took the MSF course and the Harley-Davidson Rider's Edge Academy of Motorcycling course and they wanted us to use the front and rear brake equally. It is a safe and stable way to stop your bike, but does take practice to learn to use effectively. practice, practice, practice.

I believe the bike runs better after tightening the chain, which is done at 600 mile service. Smoother shifting, lower rpm's and more power to the wheel is attributed to tighter chain. Just my opinion.

Question about chain slack... How often are you needing to adjust your chain slack?

You get what you pay for. Arai Profile. Lightest, most comfortable IMO.

Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.) 5 years, $499. I thought it was a good deal so I took it.

I went in @ 715. No problems.

Knees in the breeze!

First service is at 600. Keep it under 5800 rpm till 600. Then under 7000 rpm till 1000. Then you can ride normal.

8 miles to go to 1000. End of break-in. That's exciting!

Mph I put a GPS nav on mine to check this very thing. I rode a long time this way, and the bike read 2 mph faster than the GPS constistantly. Never any more or less, always 2 mph.
