    Having an issue with my cooling system - Liquid noise + overflow

    Flushed coolant last week, it's finally hot here in Oregon so my bike hit 200+ for the first time. Pulled up in my garage, turned bike off, heard a sound that resembled squirting water, seems like it's all through my coolant system, pipes/radiator. About 30 seconds later my overflow dumps...

    Mirror Vibration - What level is normal/non-correctable?

    Just curious as to how much vibration other FZ6 Gen 2 riders have. I know this is a buzzy machine, so to an extent it is not correctable. I do not have any vibration issues in my hands/bars, actually it's quite comfortable even with the thin stock grips. My mirrors on the other hands...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWZI8-ojMrg&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop Noticed this this morning when backing my bike out of the driveway. Video makes it sound louder and sharper than it is. Yesterday I put a Penske shock in the rear - cannot say for sure if it was making this noise...

    R6s Fork Conversion Complete - How much lower should my bike be?

    Here is an album of the bike reassembled, torqued down, test ridden, etc. I feel like this mod significantly lowered my front end appearance-wise, but riding still feels comfortable (actually, I'd say significantly improved, though that is probably a biased statement due to the fact that I...

    My first FZ6 - To celebrate my first week of ownership

    Picked this up last week. Immediately replaced all of the fluids and plugs. Took it out today for a canyon trip to scrub the edge of the tires in. Wasn't a great day. The road I picked (a new one for me) was damn awful. Literally everything that could've gone wrong with the road did. Piles...

    First gear winding noise - Normal?

    I have noticed that this bike has a winding noise on the first gear. I noticed this when clutching in and idling/rolling down my neighborhood. If I pop it into another gear or neutral, the sound stops. It is definitely a winding noise, like I can hear the gears winding down in speed. I...

    First ride on new FZ6 - Some inquiry about shifting/clutch

    So I've had 3 motorcycles before this FZ6 and all of them had this problem in some iteration, but not quite as bad. They have been all Suzuki bikes though, one brand new, two used. Suzukis shift like a dream to me. This Yamaha does not (that's fine, I've read all about the slightly clunky...
