I have had my bike since last August now...a 2013 fz6r with 6000 miles on it. Planning a trip next month from Seattle to Santa Cruz. Any tips on taking such a long ride with this bike, either mechanical that I need.to take care of before the ride, or what tools, fluids I should carry with me, to...

This is crazy: 2010 yamaha fz6r I don't think they cost that much new!! Let alone a 4 year old bike with 11k??!

Hey Guys! Being new to motorcycles I'd just like to get everyone's opinion on when to change/replace/check any and every part on a bike. I know I have a manual and the internet to Google just about anything I'd like to know, but I figured if I could get a collection of information that this...

While cleaning my bike today I noticed this and now I'm a bit concerned. I never noticed this when I bought the bike and the PO never mentioned anything. It looks like whoever adjusted it reefed on it and bent the p1ss out of it or something...what really has me worried is what appears to be a...

Hey Guys! I recently just got into riding and found that the FZ6R was being labelled as a great "First Bike", so I ended up buying one. I'm extremely excited to start riding and found that the FZ6R has been a great starter bike, as everything about it is super smooth. With that being said, I'd...

Hello boys and girls i'm in need of a little assistance with my bike regarding the neutral gear. When i'm in first and try to shift into neutral the pedal will either skip past neutral and jump into second or on rare occasions be clicked into neutral on the first try, i usually have to click...

So I've began updating my 2009 FZ6R with the basics. I've done the fender eliminator kit, added frame slider, gotten the flush blinker kit, and even the LED pig spotter mirrors. Next to is take off the decals ;) and have the fairings customized, but I also want to do a little something more...

Before this becomes a gigantic cirlce :jerk: ....let me say this is my opinion from the last 4 years of riding this bike.... Well I spent 8 hrs in the saddle yesterday... Despite having a corbin seat, touring screen, pullback risers, givi bags, a cooler with drinks...I still ended up sore...

Hey guys, last week I managed to do a little damage to my bike while riding "the tail" down in NC. The bike went down, and I decided to follow... Thankfully, my FZ6R took it like a champ and had minimal damage. Mirrors and windscreen need replaced (easy) but the left side cowling got pushed...

Hi guys, I was recently installing some clip ons onto my bike and I got all the pieces off (and must I say was it annoying) and was finishing up the clip ons install. I was just finding the right angle to tighten the clip ons and I was leaning on my tank working on it and well then that's when...

I recently got into a accident where this lady hit me and it was all her fault and she paid me $1500 to get my bike fixed up and I went to a local dealer and they told me it would cost $2200 to fix. So I wanted to do it myself since I already upgraded mostly everything on my bike. And I was...

How's it going everybody. Well I live in a very sunny part of Arizona and I've noticed that certain parts of my bike, especially the mirrors and handlebars have started to have the paint fade away. I've used a bike cover before and someone actually stole my last one, ridiculous I know. Just...

Hey guys, so I went down on the bike a few weeks ago. Crankcase cover on the left side of the bike was cracked and leaked oil. I replaced the crankcase cover and the gasket. While putting the new cover on I accidentally stripped one of the top right Allen screws. I ran the bike and I saw no oil...

needing help and expertise with fault code 19(Sidestand switch) I'm trying to get my FZ6R started and it keeps throwing a fault code for Sidestand switch(code 19) and sometimes it does a code 12 for a crankshaft position sensor. I think the CPS is just a loose connection which i fixed...

Well. Just got a call from my dealer. Yamaha made enough to cover the recall. But some dealers got over greedy and took all the shafts.... Now my bike is traded in waiting to pick up my new fz6r but I can't take it till the recall is done thanks to the cpsc..... And it's back ordered till...

I was browsing reddit and found this on the front page. I do not know much about off roading but this is definitely interesting. Just couldn't part it out : pics Here is his info about the bike: Bike is a 2012 FZ6R that was totaled out at 1500 miles. I picked it up for cheap to part it...

Since I'm going to be more then likely getting an fz6r here by next weekend. I want to learn what I can before hand. I'm not one to keep a bike with stock exhaust.... So been reading around. And a cheaper option I found to ditch the stock one is this one FZ6R XJ6 2009-2014 Full System Stainless...

Unfortunately yesterday I went down near DC Memorial Parkway. I was cruising with a few friends when we went into a corner. There was a little barrier that was 1 foot off the ground which i didn't see. I was told from the dude riding behind me I was on it while taking the corner and when it road...

Hey gang! Just got a 2009 FZ6R in cadmium yellow with the star graphics on the fairings. LOVE this bike. Upgraded from a 2011 CBR 250r. I live in East Toronto in Ontario Canada. can't wait to start getting to know this bike and contributing to the forum. Check out my vlog...
