    Yamaha FZ6 steering

    I'm still inexperienced when it comes to spring tune ups after winter. I only had to take my Ninja 650 out of storage twice, because after the third season, I sold it. The take away for me is that I'm learning the basics (and some advanced stuff too) through the process. I did watch a video on...

    Yamaha FZ6 steering

    I agree. Prior to going for the ride, the bike did feel like it took a lot more effort to roll it out of the shed. I should have known, the tire was flat. I just figured I was getting older and weaker. 6 psi on the bike is extremely dangerous, like I said it was so wobbly when i rode to a...

    Yamaha FZ6 steering

    Thanks for the tips, I checked the bike for the bearing issue. It was smooth. When I checked the tire pressure, it came in at 6psi... Yikes! it lost a lot of air over the winter... I used a hand pump to get it back to 33psi and it handled as I expected it to.

    Yamaha FZ6 steering

    Hi, I rode my FZ6 for the first time yesterday and the steering felt odd. I'll do my best to describe it. When I had my Ninja 650R, I could turn the handle bars and the bike would go in that direction with little resistance. When I try to do the same thing on the FZ6, the handlebars want to...

    M1 license extention

    I think you have to take the test again once it expires. You can extend your M2 when transitioning to your M license. Good luck on June 10th.

    Yamaha Fz6 won't start

    Hey, Thanks for all the trouble shooting and support. The bike was just too cold when I was trying to start it. As things have warmed up, the bike starts no problem. I am probably going to replace the battery before I do any long distance trips this summer. The battery is 2 years old according...

    Yamaha Fz6 won't start

    I haven't tried bump starting it yet. I've charged the battery over night with my Battery Tender Junior. I disconnected the charger and checked the voltage before I went to work. It was 13.xx. I'm going to check to see if it held throughout the day. I'll do the load test tonight or on the...

    Vigilante chase

    Driver of the SUV who made a U-Turn almost took out another rider. I don't think flipping on weird truck on its side was a good idea though. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Yamaha Fz6 won't start

    Excellent price $112.99 for the YT12B-BS. I believe thats the battery I need. Its weird because some websites only list 2005 fz6's and up. Snow City quoted me $149.99 for the same battery. Thanks for the link!

    Yamaha Fz6 won't start

    I'm going to try starting the bike with jumper cables and my cars battery (while turned off) and see if it starts. I think you all are correct when you say its the battery. I'd like to do some research on pricing, does anyone recommend any stores that i should call first?? Should I stick with...

    Yes, the CSR told me that the bike is blacklisted, but because of my driving record and personal circumstances the underwriter just needs to make an exception. He told me that they are more likely to give it to me if I'm open to the idea of switching my cars and home to them upon renewal. If...
