noise

Hi, I'm after some advice, I've got an '04 FZ6 with 42k on the clock. When cold it runs like a dream, but when it's hot I get a clicking noise, which I've attributed to the cam chain tensioner. However under load, when warm, in first and second it sounds like the engine is falling to bits...

Just wanted to post that after scouring the forums for the proper way to tension the chain, I found out that I had been improperly tensioning my chain since I bought the bike in April. I thought that the noise (whine) coming from the bike when I eased off the throttle with the engine still in...

Hi there I got a 2004 Fz6 two months ago and I am very happy with it. However, recently it started making a 'clunk' noise when stopping, usually at spends below 11mph. The mechanic thought it was something to do with the front breaks or the forks, but today I realized that as soon as I...
