    4th Gear Whirring

    Hey everyone, so my 2006 FZ6 has been running great since I've gotten it, but I've started to notice more often that my 4th gear sounds different than the other ones. When I shift from 3rd to 4th it makes more of a whirring sound, but stops after going into 5th. I've tried shifting at different...

    Losing Weight

    So I love my Fz6, but after having ridden my friend's bike (ninja 650), it's starting to become more apparent that the fz6 is a pretty top-heavy bike. I understand that it is a sport-tourer and that it isn't a SS, but have any of you done any mods to make it a bit lighter and flickable. Some...

    Where is the crankcase breather tube

    Wondering where the crankcase breather tube would be on my '06 fz6. The service manual isn't really specific about where it is or where to drain it. My last bike was a honda vlx 600 and i remember having to regularly drain it every 15k miles or so.:confused: Sorry if it's a pretty noob question

    Oil Level Check Question

    Hey, I'm wondering how exactly I check my oil level for my fz6, do i do it with the dipstick either screwed it, or just set on where it screws it. Also is it better to check it cold, or after a minute or two after it goes throughout the engine?

    Where can i buy a clutch cable?

    I've got a 2006 Fz6 and am wondering where I can find a new clutch cable. I've checked Cycle Gear, parts411.com, and various other websites. I've never changed a clutch cable (as one has never gone out on me), but my cable is way too stiff and stretched out. I'm not really liking the idea of...
