Yamaha FZ6R: 35,000 Mile Review 

I watched 15 videos about fz6r. This one is the best ever. Thank you

Good video brother, I agree with alot of the things you mentioned about this bike. My FZ6R just rolled over 45,000 miles.... I've had her since 2011 brand new with zero miles and the only two things I've ever had to change was the clutch and just recently the battery! Yamaha's are simply awesome made machines!

Cool review man! I've been pining for an FZ6R for years!

Impressive mileage! Checking out a 2015 model this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

Really good video! Better than most of the mod list vids I’ve seen so far. Bike looks great!

Automatic like for this vid. I'm on year 3 and at just over 37K. Swell ride. Have to disagree on them frame sliders though. I have not cut sliders. Dropped my bike exactly twice in three years. No main fairing damage whatsoever...and both the sliders and bar ends have only light scuffage.

Im about to pick one up too. Glad I watched this

Totally agree amazing bike!! Super reliable

This is a top vid. About to get the clip ons and side mirrors! Thanks mate, also for the specs above. Great work!

Good job on your bike, and good video..

Great vid. I was considering one of these, I can get a leftover 2015 new for $4900 at my local dealership. I stumbled on this video and it makes me want it all the more. I already have a 2013 Harley Ultra Classic but was wanting something sporty for shorter rides with my son and commuter to work and keep my Harley for long road trips

Today I’m picking up this 09 fz6r 7k miles for only $2500! Only thing is the tags went out last year and it’s quite a drive to pick it up but it’s still a steal. It has a two brothers slip on exhaust and some circular tip handle bar mirrors. It’s the white model with the Maroon blikish stripes. Maroon levels

Amazing video thank you very much for this

great video, thanks for sharing

I've had a FZ6R for about a month now and it's been a blast! Mine is white with red accents along the outer rim and side of the bike (plus white powder coated rims) and I've got gear to match it (white/red/black). I've also got the same Kawasaki mirrors, smoked aftermarket tail lights and windshield. Also it came with similar clip-ons plus an aftermarket foot peg assembly and I agree, after riding a stock FZ6R, my bike riding position feels completely different (like it's a completely different bike altogether). A few more mods I've got is a gear indicator, Black Widow exhaust, phone mount plus charger, battery render plug, and steering stabilizer. I don't have sliders though; maybe I'll add those sometime. The bike is currently at 20,000 kms and no issues so far 😀

I got this bike in Feb. '09. I've got close to 2x that mileage with new hoses and a real tuneup at 59,000 miles. Believe it, this is one solid motorcycle!

Great video man I have a yellow 2009 fz6r!! 😁

Very Unique! Nice to see

Very educational,, thank you

Thanks for review bro

Nice video ur the man

Hi there Nice looking bike with the clip on looks like the honda 650 F don't ya think ? Good vlog mate Brian uk

hey man Great vid love it. was just wondering for the clipons in the vid you said you needed the 1.25'' kit but the link provided its a 1.5'' kit? and also would love a vid on how to install them or even just how you went about it.

I pick my 2012 with only 1,300 miles on it tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Dude i have bought new Yamaha's and had to bleed the rear master cylinder because of air being in the system. At 35k miles you're way overdue for a brake fluid change anyway despite what the owners manual says. I really like the fact that you are so anal about care and maintenance of your bike and alot of people should take the hint about caring for the machine. People are ignorant and should treat a bike like an aircraft in so far as safety is concerned ! Good production and good on ya mate. But 1 thing, you need to take us for a ride next video : )

Hello, and thanks for the video. I recently got a FZ6R, the other day. And I'm really diggn it. And thanks for the links too

I just purchased my 13 fz6r this morning great review gives me confidence in it!

I have the 2014 and it does have an adjustable seat. I like the factory bars. Most people that I know do. It isn't a super sport bike.

But what advantage to the clip-ons? Personally, I love the handlebars on mine. Perfect for sport touring, which is what I have the FZ6R for. Your tires are Dunlop? I just put new Battlax tires on mine, at the 18,800 Km mark. Any advantage to the Dunlops? I went with a Zero Gravity sport touring windshield on mine. Thinking about getting the TechSpec tank pads. Any thoughts on this?

As an 8 year rider who just doesn't really need to go 170mph (on a closed course, of course) or have the absolute razor sharp handling of an r1 anymore... This bike is perfect. Still quick and very agile but A HELL OF A LOT more comfortable. Intermediates to veterans (not saying I'm a veteran) who are looking for something more comfy but don't wanna give up your twisties or your general fun just yet, you would make a mistake to overlook this bike. It would be a great beginner bike for responsible types but that is definitely not it's only purpose. I can't speak enough good about this bike.

Dang that’s a nice bike you got there sir! I’m still in between the N and the R version .

cant find the frame sliders anywhere now bot sure what to get

My only wish is that they made this with a normal frame, not the heavy stainless one they use. That alone would make the bike even more nimble, and speed it up a ton, literally making it perfect to grow into. Things like clip ons can be installed as newer riders become more comfortable, etc, but the frame... there's pretty much nothing that can be done without spending so much you might as well get a new bike, and I hate that they ruin the bike like that...

Regarding the sliders. Yes they would protect the fairing, but how about the engine covers? Crashed in, the fragments can get all over the inside.

What windshield do you have installed and where you bought it? Regards.

Uhhh...Mr Half-Click Up...exactly which bar ends did you order for the woodcrafts? I wanna switch to clip ons...because I like to get real low at 120 MPH in a curve...and wanna make sure I get everything at once and have all the correct stuff. 'Ppreciate it.

What's the rpm at 70mph highway speed. Thinking bout trading in on a 2011 fz6r

Have you done the valve clearance adjustment?

Nice looking bike man, but what windshield is that theblink fornebay is not showing thanks

Does anybody know where I could get the woodcraft clip on bar kit today? Currently not available on amazon

Good Video! - However, I will respectfully disagree with your assessment of the Shogun No-cut Sliders. I opted for these and they saved my front plastics, without question. I low sided last year and the only damage sustained was a broken peg, bent clip on, and some rash on the tail fairing, so I've had a good experience with them, but no two wrecks are the same, so maybe they wouldnt have performed well under different conditions... Secondly - GET STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINES.... They absolutely change the character of the bike and brake feel. The OEM rubber lines are soft, and yamaha actually recommends replacement after 4 years. I think this is by far the most cost-effective and beneficial mod that can be done to the bike. Also - To touch on the seat height - I rode with the seat in the "high" position for about a year, but then put it back down in the low position and I'm 6'0" I did this because it lowered the CCOG of the bike with me on it, and has given me less of a reach to stretch when transitioning body position on the bike. I'm not sure if you track yours or not, but I'm planning to this summer. Good vid!, Subscribed, Stay safe and God bless!!

I’m pissed that I can’t get that tank pad anymore! Thing looks soooooo good🤩

Have you done valve adjustments, clutch replacement, steering head bearings? Mostly curious as to how bad they were when they were done and when.

Such a great bike and such a shame Yamaha don't still make it. I hate twins and loooove 4 cyclinders. I owned one for a year and loved every minute of it. Alas it was stolen so now have 2018 CBR650F (which I also love).

I’m currently looking at this bike. Between this and an MT-07. But they FZ6R is a 2016 brand new and they’re selling it for just under 5k, deal I feel I might be dumb to pass up. But I don’t want a repeat of the Ninja 250 and be bored of it in a summer. Is the torque good? For 5K I want to make sure I’ll have fun for years. Mostly town riding and short rides with buddies with the occasional summer road trip. They all have cruisers but I can’t find a cruiser I’m a fan of style wise. I’m more of a sporty guy myself

Im in texas too. Is this for sale?

I measured five or 6 times and drilled 5 or 6 holes before finding one that worked for my controls lol. Easily the best mod I've done to it. I've got the no cut frame sliders and I hate them. Like you said, I don't feel like they'd do their job if it went down. They are also held on by one bolt so they pivot. The previous owner dropped my bike and now that slider is loose. Let's hope it doesn't go down lol. For the ball-stem mount, were you able to get a torque wrench on it )socket over the ball) or did you just have to use a big wrench?

So no shift problems like alot of people have had, where you have to do rod an cable adjustments no matter what

Mines running in at 26k miles and I just noticed a little rpm jump from about 8-9k might be a little clutch slippage but just wanted to hear from y’all if that sounds normal so early on for the bike. I don’t do wheelies, just ride it hard. Slight clutch slip or other issue?

What kind of body kit did you use ?

hey brotha did you have to lower the front in order to install the clip ons?

How have the zx6r mirrors held up. I’m looking to get some for my 09 fz6r

Do you think the bike will be pretty quick for a person that is 6ft and 220lbs

When you set up your clip ons, did it hit your windshield at all. If it did, how did you fix that problem?

Question for you guys. Getting my first bike, is the insurance more expensive on this becauae it is a 4 as opposed to a ninja 650, because its a twin?

My local dealership has a 2013 Yamaha fz6r with 14,000 miles for 4,300. It had one owner which was a military lady (is what the dealer said). The previous rider traded it in for a BMW trail bike or something like that. I mean they dropped the price from 4,900 to 4,300, told me that I would need to replace the chain in a few thousand miles, and mention some scruff on the frame slider. Seeing that I just completed the MSF course and looking to commute daily with my bike, is a 2013 14kmiles worth 4k? For a dealership to drop the OTD price 600, is that sketchy? lol

How is the visibility with the mirrors?

Did you ever have your valve clearance maintenance done? I am at that point and was wondering if it is even necessary.

Did u have to adjust the engine valves

Did you do a valve adjustment?

Is this the best fz6r video out there?

hello, what rudder did you put on it, what motorcycle is that rudder????

Yumaha!

I was just typing " That random parking and hotel look a lot like Texas. " then I see license plate.

Half-Click Up....hi bro....glad to watch ur vid from algeria ,actually i'm a scooter rider....but i really want to became an alpha rider.....have found a 2011 fz6r 19000km...but i dont know how to check out his state...and have little probleme with left hip while upgrading...can u advise me......

Just curious on how tall you are ? I’m 6’3 do you think I’d fit

bike the black is very good model 2012-2018 FZ6R 78-hp GOOD MEN. --Model naked is the XJ6

Glad you got rid of the stock handlebars lol

Love your bike, but you gotta revitalize your plastic mirrors.. Plastic looks dried out, I just do a light wipe down with WD-40.

What's your milage at now brother??

Tall pple with long arms and legs will never know the struggle of short riders 😆🤣😂😹

missing a tank bolt.....

In other coutry this is xj6 diversion

Should have picked this instead of a mt07 maybe

He said detuned a bit haha. The fz6 with same engine has 98 hp. If only this bike had abs

Nice video but this wasn't really a review, it was more you just noting your own personal mods

I had to put up with the music due to good content

The 6R is a good bike, but it’s a tank at over 500lbs. Go with a Kawasaki 400 or an R3.

Tell real mileage

Am I the only one that gets offended everytime you say "guy-ter"??? You dont pronounce it as a word, you pronounce the simple abbreviation GYTR. G-Y-T-R 🤦🏼‍♂️
