    Front brake caliper loose after install

    Took apart one of my front brake calipers thinking I needed to replace pad (still a lot of room left) however when putting it back together felt a little loose. Didn't think anything much (thought after riding it would tighten up...I know I am dumb) but noticed brakes were choppy. So...

    Sudden dramatic decrease in fuel efficacy?

    I filled up my 05 FZ6 with standard gas (lowest) from the same station I've always used and went to work and back (30 miles each way, mostly freeway) and today on the way in I've noticed I am down to maybe a quarter of a tank or less! My memory is a bit foggy since I've started to regularly...

    Weird siren/whining like noise after chain/sprocket replacement

    Replaced my chain and sprocket on a 05 FZ6 right before winterizing it, noticed a weird whining almost siren (originally that's what I thought it was) upon deacceleration at high speeds. Chain is tightend within range and noticed a bit of it the other day when riding although probably won't get...

    Anyone with experience in changing to a 17 tooth up front?

    I'm interested in hearing what you e experienced in changing to a 17 up front. What kind of speed RPM are you seeing out on the highway? In going up a tooth, how adversely has it affected the performance? Have you noticed any increase in mileage at all? Thanks for your time!

    Disassembling The Beast: Winter Wrenching

    Here are a couple of photos of me in the process of taking my bike apart. All in all, to get to the point where the plastics were off, it's taken me about two hours due to a number of hang ups along the way. I got my little oil filled heater I picked up at Canadian Tire hooked up and on max...

    Fz6 slight oil leak

    I noticed that there is a very small oil leak on the bike the other day. Haven't noticed any drops on the floor, but just running on the metal. I cleaned up the entire bottom of the bike and the only spot I noticed oil when wiping was at the lower hose at the metal connector where the two pipes...

    Rear Turn Signals Not Working

    My rear turn signals on my FZ6 stopped working. I am not sure what happened. The front turn signals work and the rear running/brake lights work. The rear turn signals were replaced which some I purchased off ebay a while back. They are not LED but when I installed them I did noticed the turn...

    Cylinder Not Firing?

    Drilled exhaust sound change question

    I write a new topic but if U think it will be better connected to other than please do so. I drilled my exhaust a couple of months ago and noticed that it sounds better, more "crispy" when the engine is cold, like first start in the morning. The backfire is also more often then. When I ride and...

    Minor issues solved, without realising?

    Recently I've done two minor maintenance/tuning tasks and I seem to have cured issues I didn't know I had. The first was a new battery. It let me down at work last week, I assumed because I'd been teaching my 2 year old to start the bike, flatted the battery and killed off that crucial last...

    A little eye candy for ya'll

    A few of you noticed my friend's cool Suzuki Gamma in a group shot I posted up about a ride report. We went for another ride last Sunday. I was sitting at a stoplight right behind him. Another rider in our group was next to me. As we took off from the light I noticed a puddle of fluid that...

    I am back

    Ok well it was 7 months ago I had my wreck. Today I push started my bike and rode her around the block a few times. I am going to be getting her on the road soon and figured out what I need to do. I need to fix my fairings, put a tank cover on since my tank can not be saved. It is not to bad but...

    Gas Cap

    During my last couple of fill ups I've noticed water puddled around the neck of the gas tank filler opening. Enough that if I'm not careful it spills into the tank. No isssues yet, but I suspect it will lead to a problem before long. I've been adding a little 'dry gas' to the petro to help...
