Hi guys and gals...(soooo `dj`ish aint it), new proud Yammy FZ6 owner here, one week old already. Right a few questions i hope all you other proud owners out there can help with. Running in the engine? How many miles? Revs? Speed etc? Any/all advice and tips welcome. Is it common for a loud `cluncking` into first and second gears? Is it normal for the engine to be so revie, even though im in top gear it always feels as though there should be one more final gear, or is this also just part of the running in period? Taken it up to 55 the most at the moment. Anyway, look forward to all your tips on the bikes.

Was just wondering about safe filtering?? Getting ok on the wee thing and i think its about time to cut through the traffic. When to do it and at what opportunities, also could anyone clear up the laws of filtering? Its what i got the bike for in the first place!! Cheers again, Kev.

hi guys, no this may sound a silly question, but what do u all clean ya bikes with! is it just a soapy water then polish etc..just wondered coz i have only had the bike a short while and want to get it sparlkin for the summer, but didnt just wanna fetch the hosepipe to it!!

Hi again guys as some of you know I passed my cbt 3 weeks ago and bought myself a 1993 yamaha sr 125 and I tend to have big problems pulling out of junctions esspecialy turning right as im consetrating on life savers and giving gas and letting the clutch go slowly while pressing the rear brake to control the speed to cross over the road like i was taught on my cbt...

Can anyone give me any hints on how to be smother...also where i live most junctions are on hills. Also my bike has drum brakes front and re…

I am a born again, bought a 2002 FZS 600 done 34000 great fun for the summer but ready for an fz1 now. Anyway I have been using a silicone based dry lube and was pleased with it because no flick, however I now seem to have developed a tight spot on the chain. I do not know what miles the chain has done, but there is bags of adjustment left and the sprockets seem in good shape, my first thought was to replace. Do you think it is worth first trying to clean well, and then try running it with wet lube? Am I risking doing any further damage to bearings? And secondly what are your feelings on silicone based dry lubes as opposed to wet lubes? As ever you opinions would be ap…

This will be my last post for some time. This will come as a shock to some of you, but I have made the monumental decision to take off for a complete year effective from next Monday. The lorry shall stop, and no doubt my marriage shall suffer, but those who know me, know that I do what I think is right, and if it hurts or offends -SO WHUT! There are a number of reasons, but the major contributor to my decision has been my involvement with a white nationalist guerrilla group in Venezuela of all places, which is fighting for freedom and justice against unbelievable odds. This is also the main reason for me selling my bike. I have been in contact with this group for a…
