  1. i ride a fz6 s2. i had yamaha crash bungs fitted. they a rubbish. u might as well stick 2 potatoes on both sides of your frame. i had a low side on a roundabout and they were ripped off from the bolts. Get R&G or anyother reputable brands.

    I JUST GOT A NEW BT014 FRONT BUT DID NOT CHANGE THE REARS. THE REARS ARE DUNLOP SPORTMAX 252. IAM RIDING A fz6 2006. I NO LONGER FEEL AS CONFIDENT IN BENDS BECAUSE THE FRONT SEEMS TO BE LIGHT AND LIVELIER. IT ALSO TRAMLINES A BIT WHICH MY OLD 252 FRONTS DIDNT. ANYONE THINK THIS MIXING BRANDS IS OK OR NOT?

    hi not too worried about durability , are the bt014 really sticky and do they take long to warm up on a cold autmn day?

    Anyone with experience riding on BT014 , i like to hear your opinions on them in the dry and wet.
  8. i am riding a FZ6 2006. i had fresh front rubbers (BT014) . replacing dunlop sportmax 205. i only had them on about 50-100miles when i dropped it. could this have also contributed to the spill. Now i feel i should have stuck with Dunlop because the front seems to tramline more and steering is lighter. Anyone have experience on these two models of tyres? how hard can u bank the bike into a turn with coldish tyres as oppose to warmed up ones? I can bank quite a bit confidently with the Dunlops but with the BT014 i have no bottle to lean it as much . Is it me or should i just treat the BT014 like the Dunlops?
  9. hi I dropped me bike on a roundabout the other day. thanks to the bobbins it saved me further damage . it was cool and damp and the front just went. i passed during summer so this is the first time riding in cool weather. any experienced rider advice will be much appreciated to help build back some confidence on leaning into turns . i dont want to just ride in warm summer . i also dont want to drop me bike to gain experience. any advice will be much appreciated

    hi can anyone help whether this front wheel part number fits a 2006 fz6 (underseat exhaust)? YAMAHA Y-5 J17M/CXMT3.50 DOT. saw this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=020 any help much appreciated
  12. Hi just found out my front wheel on my 2007 Fz6 (underseat exhaust model) is buckled due to a pot hole. was wondering would an R6 front wheel be interchangeable ? It looks the same , 5 spoke black model. trying to save a few quid from buying new wheel (£300+). anyone one tried interchanging the wheels?
