    160 vs. 170 Rear tire.

    Does anyone have recommendations on the rear tire. I purchased the bike with a 180, it does look cool. Doesn't handle for $h¡+ though. Should I put on a 160 or 170, and are there any specific ones I should look into.

    Tire Life

    I bought my 2011 FZ6R back in November with 1400 miles and I am pretty sure they are the stock tires, the tires are dated with 2011. Is there any specific life of a tire on when they should be changed? I was in a Military Sport Bike Rider course and one of the instructors said that usually by...

    Raising the front fender

    I am thinking about raising the front fender on my bike by about half an inch so that I can use a higher profile front tire, possible a dual sport tire. Does the front fender act as a fork brace? If so, I assume the forks would need some extra bracing if I were to in fact raise the fender.

    Front Tire Wearing Faster than Rear

    Let me preface this by saying I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to bike maintenance (but as issues arise, I am learning :) .) From most everything I've read, the rear tire typically wears faster than the front. I have just over 5500 hundred miles on my bike and the front is definitely...

    The mod bug is biting and I don't feel like painting another color yet... I was having a discussion with a friend about his amazing 636. It went through Maryland inspection and he has been pulled over for speeding without anyone saying anything about his license plate. It's mounted under the...

    Tires

    Ok I am looking at getting some new tires. The ones on my bike have kind of a flat spot on both front and back tire. They were made this way. I am looking on the internet and non of the tires look like mine. Is it just the way they look online or am I looking for a different type of tire? Thanks

    Strange wear pattern?

    My last bike was a cruiser and the tires lasted forever, with relatively flat wear patterns. So maybe I'm freaking out about nothing... At 6200 miles, I am getting close to the wear marker on my back tire (Dunlop Roadsmart). It's the front tire that concerns me. Yesterday when I got off the...

    I purchased a new 2009 fz6r from my local Yamaha dealer April 2009. It did not come from the factory with any tire balance weights on either front or rear wheel. Is this common? Paul
