For sale is my Yamaha FZ6, which I bought from someone who only did the first 950 miles, so I have almost had it from new. I am listing this for parts as the main cast frame has a crack in it. This was not caused by an impact. I showed it to Yamaha, who have provided a free issue replacement new frame even though the warranty long expired. This wold cost you £1300 if you bought it. If you have the skills to replace this then you'll have a fine bike. Or it will cost about £5-600 at a garage. The front fork seals also need replacement, but this won't be a major job as you will have to remove them anyway to replace the frame, and the parts are cheap.
I have used this bike for commuting 13 miles into central London. It is garaged, but has age-related paintwork. It has some scratches from a <20mph spill but has never been impacted in a crash or slid down the road into anything. I took this out for a quick spin today and it is running very well.
- Top box included with two keys. Givi plate can be removed and a Yamaha box will fit the rack
- Heated grips. You'll be thankful for this in winter. Also included are neoprene Turcano hand muff things.
- New DID chain and new sprockets fitted not long ago.
- Pipercross cleanable performance air filter
- New clutch a while ago
- Accessory connectors fitted on relay, so you don't have to remember to turn off. Heated grips are on the same circuit.
- LED lights fitted inside crash bungs
- Haynes manual, new oil filter and any other spares I can find included. Printed copy of the full workshop manual
- Two black bike keys and the red security one, and two top box keys
- Tyres 70% good on grip wear, and slow leak on the rear.
- Engine and gearbox are still very crisp despite quite high mileage. Exhaust is good with no rust
- Serviced annually with oil change, filters. Valve clearances checked recently with no adjustment necessary.
- For clarity, the new frame and associated new parts will be included but not fitted.
Bye.
