shifting

Hello good people of this forum, I've newly acquired a 2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion with 23000KMs which is pretty much the same as the good ole FZ6R Seems to be alright so far and it does put a smile on my face every time I see it However ,it does have one issue which is bugging me The story goes...

I have a 2012 Yamaha FZ6R and it's my first bike. I've been riding for about 4 years now and never really had much of a problem with it until now. A couple of months or so ago I noticed that when I would be sitting at a traffic light (or otherwise stopped) and I had the bike in 1st gear and...

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...

I'm trying to set my stock clutch lever to be able to shift with 2 fingers, instead of the 4 i'm normally used to using. I know that if I were to upgrade to shorty levers this would be easier but right now I only have the stock. I've adjusted the tensioner near the clutch lever but i'm afraid...

I feel sort of dumb asking this, but here goes... Before my recent FZ6 R purchase, the only motorcycle experience I had was in motocross. On my old dirt bike, I was always taught that the clutch is for starts only. When riding my new street bike, I have been trying different clutch/shift...
