I'm running a 2007 FZ6 Fazer S2 as a commuter weapon. Parking at work the bike is in shade until about 2PM. As the sun comes on the tank I'm getting petrol fumes venting from the tank breather hose along with the odd drip of fuel. Should I be worried or is this just a function of the fuel warming in the tank and evaporating? My other concern is tyre wear - the bike is 7 months old and still wearing the original BT020s front and rear which have now done 2000 miles. The rear tyre has about 2mm of useable tread to the wear bars. My daily run is 27 miles each way, 16 on B roads and 11 down the M4 to Bristol. No hard acceleration, not using more than 8000 rpm in any g…

Hi!! I'm looking for a new handle bar for my FZ6(2005). i've found one on eBay but that is for Fz6 Fazer. Is it the same, or has the handle bar for the Fazer a different design?? Because it seems to me that the one for the fazer is more bented than mine. I hope you can help! Thanks

Hello everybody as the cold weather is getting closer we all know that vehicles act different, So i leave my house the other morning and it was the first frost of the year, after about 5 or 6 miles the bike gets up to temperature. Everytime i stop at traffic lights or roundabouts it stalled and i had to keep up the revs.The bike was idling at about 970 to 1050 rpm. So i thought there was a problem and called the yamaha dealer and they told me to turn up the idle screw and i did to about 1300 rpm and it's fine now glad it wasn't the TPS. has anyone else had this experience as it's not really much of a problem.dave p

hi, just joined this forum and was looking for any helpful advise before i buy a fz6-n (fazer 600) 2005. anything to look out for. many thanks

Just bought it yesterday, and out side of pro rider reviews, I don't have a ton of user input/reviews on it. It's my first sport bike coming over from a 650 V-Star. If any of you ride one of these, or have in the past, is there anything I should know about my bike as far as issues, trouble areas, things to keep an eye on? Spell it out in crayon, if you don't mind. I'm a newb, and not ashamed of it. Happy to be on two wheels again, but I'm ignorant in the ways of a sport bike. Thanks!

I have a 1988 FZ 600 which I'm in the process of restoring, can anyone tell me what the exact colours are for my bike? Its red & white, the white on the fairings look slightly pearlescent, is this the correct colour? If anyone could give me any help that would be great. I want it to end up as original as possible. Also, where could I get replacement decals from, I've looked on ebay but there isn't any. Thanks in advance.
