Welcome. I've been seeing more and more FZ's in San Diego. What kind of race cars do you work on? Drag cars, dirt oval at Barona? We used to race out at Cajon Speedway before they closed it. My cousin drove. I was a mechanic on the team.

I am new to this forum, though I have referenced it several times. I just picked up a brand new 2011 FZ6R that a dealer still had sitting around.
I used to ride quite a bit on a variety of bikes vfr 750, cbr900, vmax, st1100.
I am looking forward to getting back into and getting my wife and son hooked as well!

Hey Guys
My Name is Jared and I'm from Elk Grove CA. The 2013 fz6r is my first bike and been riding for just a little under a year now. Already put an M4 exhaust, fender eliminator, shogun frame sliders, and proton flush mount turn signals. Hope to change my mirrors soon. Any fz6r riders in the Sacramento area?

Hey, new member and rider here from northern, VA. picked up a brand new 2013 fz6r in white with red frame in late jan. so far have got just under 1200miles on it and loving it so far.
Don't know how I missed this... but you've probably seen me zooming through before, been on my Raven for over four years and commute from Bluemont-Sterling down rt 7 as much as possible on the bike... we've got a handful of us in the area
Man, small world... I'm always riding down 7 to Sterling and back. 9/10 wearing a black stickered up helmet, black on white alpinestars jacket. Will try to keep my eye out for you

Hi everyone, the name is Louis and I'm from Eastern WA (Yakima Valley) area. I have a Blue 2009 Yamaha FZ6R that I bought new in July 09'. Mostly stock with a K&N Airfilter, Piaa headlight, Shogun frame sliders, Dunlop Sportmax Q2 Tires f&r, and Custom FZ6R Fender eliminator. Future mods would include 2 bros exhaust kit with juice box. Just glad to find a community thats FZ6R specific. If anyone is near me and wants to ride just give me a shout. Going to change spark plugs soon... I'm at 8200 and a buddy of mine recommended. Cheers!

Welcome! Don't rule out the awesome Marthy Exhaust, for price of it plus PCV plus block-offs you'll only get the two bros exhaust.Hi everyone, the name is Louis and I'm from Eastern WA (Yakima Valley) area.

Thanks for the welcome and advice. It seems I need to do more research on the fz6r because after joining up I've found out about mods I never knew existed. I think until I get the funds for the full exhaust just modding the stock one like some have done to have tone. Also others have modded the airbox too. Thats worth lookin into.
Airbox mod does make the bike a little bit raspy.

i pulled my airbox and cut off the entire area before the filter. its actually insanely loud when full throttle and sitting on the seat. Definitely worth the sound bonus.
My turn
I am from Cincinnati, OH. Moved away for about 10 years, but back for the family for a bit. This is my restart to motorcycle riding. Tried years ago on an older BMW K75 and never felt comfortable. Last year I completed the MSF (thank you to my instructors) and now I am thrilled to be riding again and this time...loving it. I now have a 2009 FZ6R and really enjoying.
Been around motorcycles, cars and my Dad's auto repair shop my whole life. I love working on my cars/bikes as well as driving/riding them.
Excited to be part of this forum.
