The Bar

I am a bit confused by the R6 running temperatures. It tends to settle around 70c on a run during a cold morning. If I let my beauty reach 80 or 90c idling in traffic, it tends to stay there on a run. The fan comes alive at 100c, commonly at lights or during traffic. How does this beast operate?

Hi everyone, I'm new here ... stumbled across this site whilst looking for a seat cowl for my 2005 FZ6N, so thought I'd join up to see if I can get any assistance with where to find one I reside in Brisbane, Australia with my husband and children. As stated above, I ride a 2005 FZ6N which I've had for a couple of years. Before that I rode a Honda CBR250 and before that I had a Yamaha Virago. I also have a 90cc scooter which doesn't really get used much now-a-days as I just love riding my 600 My husband rides an 01R1 Streetfighter which he loves and really doesn't want to upgrade We also run our own motorcycle forum based in Australia ... it has bee…

Hello again you lot! I've not been on here for a long time as I joined up with the MTOC havin' an MT01 & an MT03. But I didn't forget you. I need/would like your advice. I'm looking to get another commute scoot as the 03 can get a bit tiresome on my daily 80 mile return trip to London. I have been offered a reasonable deal on a 2007 TDM 900. I see a lot of 'em so they can't be too bad, can they?. Do they stand up well to the daily wear and tear. I'd like to understand there strengths and weaknesses. Anyone

Hiya, My baby is my 1990 FZR400 3TJ in red and white, can anyone help me with the paint codes as she needs a little tlc. Thanks. Bex

Its taken all day to sort out my mates garage after some twunts tried to nick his bikes. They came 4 days ago but couldnt get in, made a mess of the doors tho. This time they got in after cutting his new locks open, didnt take anything, but checked out what locks and chains were on his 3 machines. His Kwak 636 is in his house now, another has gone to a secure lockup and the other machine cant be moved, to big... Mr plod said "Nothing can be done" Great that is. Surely someone saw the vehicle they came in, it was big enough, you can clearly see the tyre marks. So, if you live in Rossendale area and have a garage thats away from your house, be warned theres bike …

I'm looking for replacement mirrors for an FZ750. What I would like is some that stick out further than the original as all I can see is my elbows. They are faring mounted with 46mm centres for the bolts. So my question is what other mirrors would fit the bike. Mark

Hi all. Just found this fourm while trawlin the net for fitting instrauctions for a spyball alarm. As i ride a yamaha, i thought it was my duty to register.

I attended my 1st trackday yesterday at Snetterton (UK)! despite it being VERY windy and gloomy all day (although the rain held off until about 3pm) i had an awsome time and learnt alot about my riding techniques Roll on the better weather, i'll definately be going back and i recommend it to anyone who hasnt tried it before, brilliant day! Just one picture of mine and mates bikes lined up but there was a photographer there on the day and am just awaiting the pics to be uploaded then ill get some up. Despite my mates riding H*ndas ( ) 1 being a 'blade and another a 600RR they both admitted to my R6 being a complete "missle"

Hi everyone,I'am new to the forum & just finding my way round.Had full license for years & only just bought first big(ish) bike.Anyhow could anyone point me in the right direction on chain lubing,i'am getting conflicting info the book says 500k's but dealers say after every run.These sealed o ring chains are new to me so who's right?Any help greatly received.

I am looking for any info on registering a rebuilt bike. I bought the sr250 as an insureance write off. It hadn't been in an accident, just stolen and replaced. My brother keeps saying i will have trouble registering it once its done. Infact he said that i could loose it altogether due to the frame number coming up as a write off. Does anyone have any advice. If that really is the case i will transfer everything onto the other sr250 frame, including the engine. The other thing he said is that i might have real trouble finding an insurer for a bike on a 'q' plate, which he says i'll have to register it as. Help please.

Only just noticed there are For Sale and Wanted sections!! DOH!!!

Hi, i just joined this site and thought i'd say hello. I passed my test a couple of weeks ago and bought myself a beautiful 2006 fz6 in orange. I think i'm obsessed, every time i get home all i wanna do is go straight back out again.

Hi all I'm new in here and have a 21 year old fz750

Hi Guys, I've just bought a 2002 R6 and loving every minute of it !!

Hi. I have a 2000 (5EB) R6 in Blue. I bought a V PIece off EBay for it a couple of weeks ago. I went on my 1st Track Day at Donington yesterday, so I had waited til today to fit in "just in case". As it turns out, it doesnt fit. It is out in the Garage at th emo, but here is the EBay item number 280197153018. Compared to the oblack one that is already in situ, this is much more rounded at the pointy end, and the layout of the internal plastics is different, as are the fixing points. It SHOULD look like this (Ebay Item Number 280203355527). Is anyone on here astute enough to be able to tell from the picture what th eBlue one is actually from? Many thanks in a…
