So i have brand new Sportmax Q3 tires on the bike. Less than 100km ridden on them. When i parked my motorcycle this morning I randomly decided to inspect my rear tire quickly and noticed a artificial 'crack' about 1cm or less in length. Its not deep by any means, but still a cause of concern for...

ZX600, Does your cam chain tensioner make a lot of noise between 3-5500 rpm?

Well, it all depends on your weight. Im 175 lbs with gear and its fine for city riding. Only drawback is taking corners fast. I don't feel completely confident with riding it too aggressively around tight bends. Maybe that's just my skill level holding me back, but the front suspension and rear...

Hey! A friend lead me to this post! Hilarious. Im the owner the fz09. I installed CRG shorty levers on the bike

I know that place. I do know that they repair gas tanks, but their website didnt indicate anything more than that. I'll give them a call. Thanks~!

2014 Yamaha FZ09. Currently at Islington and Rathburn. Bike is at my work parking lot. It runs, so i might ride it to a nearby shop. Just needed auggestions.

Took a short break at work to fiddle with the bike. After some fiddling around with the clutch and brake lever, oddly enough the bike registered neutral and first gear. Was able to get it running. Going to take a short test ride to see if everything is running alright mechanically. Back break...

Dropped my bike making a turn in a parking lot this morning (dont ask). Im super livid at myself. Front brake lever is broken, bike wont start, my electronic screen wont register that im in first or neutral gear. I cant even feel my bike pop into first or neutral. Its weird because the bike...

The whole reason i even started thinking about this was because i noticed a slight burning smell while i was riding a tad hard. Figured the engine was getting too hot.

So I have a used 2014 FZ09 i bought from a dealership. I've noticed the coolant level is close to the minimum mark. I want to top it off with some coolant I buy online, im just not sure two different brands of coolant being mixed will be detrimental for any reason whatsoever? I'm not sure if the...

Welcome! Nice ride man. Any advice for beginners starting off on more powerful bikes?

A 30's-40's aged female asian Acura SUV driver changed lanes into me on a left bend. The front end of my car was matching up with her back passenger door. Slammed on my breaks and skidded, allowing me to avoid being hit by her. Got so mad and followed her to a shopping mall parking lot nearby...

Took my FZ09 out yesterday and the day before. First bike i've owned so Im not completely as aware as some of you are when it comes to maintaining the bike in every condition. I put 50 km on it, or so, and total km's on the engine is 3500. Is it necessary to change the air filter even with...

Welcome. Im new too! Starting out on a 2014 Yamaha FZ09 with prior experience toying around on other peoples 125's and 250's. Im looking forward to seeing others on the road. First ride to work today on the bike! :)

Bought a used 2014 fz09. Got the ECU re flashed to match the 15's and im still thinking about getting a Power Commander V once i install a after market exhaust. I've ridden bikes before, so im not exactly a beginner. This is just the first bike ive personally owned. I like to think of myself...

Thanks everyone! Definitely not taking out the bike till early April and after a few rainfalls to clear the roads. I got the ECU re flashed by my dealer and im sticking to 'B' mode with extra cautious riding on the side roads for a few weeks until i start riding it on main roads.

Hi all! Bought a sweeeet FZ09 in January. Absolutely cant wait to ride! My first bike purchased and new (beginner) to this forum!
