Hi everyone. After getting over some family chaos (no illnesses thank God), I'm jumping back in to the forum. In my absence, I've moved to Morris County NJ (from Bergen), traded the Subaru Legacy GT for a Mazda CX-30, and purchased a 2006 FJR 1300. Still having the misfire on the FZ6 when...

...more commonly represented as 80,000 miles. Trying to post an image of the odometer, bur I keep getting the 'Oops, we ran into some problems' message :-(

Reassembling the bike after painting the sub frame, and I think my starter crapped out in the interim. After putting her back together Monday night, she started right up. But after waxing her tonight she will not crank. Here is what is happening. Turning on the key everything is normal...

Ok, it's the internet, and we all know hat there is a LOT of crap out there (with the exception of some GREAT forums like this one :) ). Yammie Noob named the top 10 used motorcycles of the last 25 years, and the FZ6 is the first mentioned.....

I am going to remove the sub-frame for painting this off-season and I wanted to see if anyone had the torque spec for when I reattach?

With IAN bearing down on Florida, just hoping everyone in the storm's path can do what they need to and stay safe.....

I am getting ready to do my 1st compression test on my 05 and I thought it would be easier with a push-button starter. I've only used one on a car, where I energize the starter solenoid. Since we have no solenoid, I guess I could energize the starter's B+ lead, but that's going to draw a lot...

I have a used Corbin that I bought from a forum member years ago and it has seen better days. With Spencer having retired, there are very limited options for FZ6 seats. I looked at a Shad, and on their website it says it fits the F^ with no years mentioned. I decided to buy it from Revzilla at...

Shame on you if you opened this for the wrong reason :) Anyone have tips and product recommendations to clean the 'patina' off the stainless tips?

New additions this year are the Dominator exhaust, new EBC front rotors and a Garmin Zumo XT GPS. With 72,299 miles on the clock she still runs and rides like a champ. Love these bikes! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dZ8CZ8iDyT0

Figure I'd post this in a new thread to make it more searchable for others. I need to cleanup some fasteners that are in good shape mechanically but have gotten dingy looking. My biggest culprits are front and rear disk bolts, caliper to fork bolts and fork pinch bolts. Mainly cruddy...

I am in the process of installing my new Dominator exhaust, and where the union where the new 'Y' pipe meets the existing up-pipe is way too tight to put the stock gasket back in. My first inclination is to just fit the pipes together and tighten it up. If you have fitted an aftermarket...

Had to pull the Tech Specs off the tank because some dirt had gotten underneath and undermined the adhesion. So I peeled them off and used a head gun to soften and remove the remaining adhesive from the back of the pad. The tank is clean and ready for reinstallation. So now I need to figure...

With my 05 crossing the 70k miles line this last riding season, it's time I started keeping an eye on the compression. Also, it's 17 degrees outside today and I feel like buying a new tool :) . I am looking on the web to see what is available, and I see thing like Harbor Freight (which I hear...

So I have an extra Sena 50S, just sent to me from Sena directly last week. I see it on Amazon around $270.00, and stores like Revzilla / Cycle Gear list it at $288.00. Anyone interested in it for $250.00 shipped free to the lower 48?

I recently replaced the (faulty) OEM R/R with a Shindengen FH020AA, which required some mods to the OEM mounting bracket to accommodate the replacement's larger size. Overall, the new R/R sits more to the right side, and current rests against the cap of the rear brake reservoir. If I remember...

Found 'Calvin MC' on Youtube. He is a Canadian with an 09 FZ6 that he self maintains and posts up videos with all kinds of help. Some of the stuff is wrong IMHO, like his dual headlight mod where he picks up the hot lead on the H7 and jumps it to the unused pin on the H4, but everything else I...

Long story short.... I have had a pair of Alpinestars GP Plus R V1 gloves for years and I love them. But they are getting a bit weary and I need a replacement. Naturally I went for the GP Plus R V2 gloves. Bought them from Revzilla a week ago and they arrived yesterday. And I think they are...

I was just about to go for a ride and was T-Clocking before I mounted and look what I found! Haven't ridden in a week, and the last ride was short and uneventful. These have less than 3,000 miles on them. The scuff mark is from where it rubbed against the rear hugger when I rotated the...

I am cleaning up the wiring on my FZ and I am having trouble figuring out if I need any current limiting on my LED. Attached is a drawing of my directional / pod light wiring. My directionals are Watsens, and are currently wired in with a 10 ohm 1/2w resistor in series with the anode. The...
