Thought I was getting a deal. Looks like I'm the sucker!!

Brakes: if bleeding them does not correct the firmness, you may need to dig deeper and verify the alignment of the caliper to the rotor. If its is off, well, just confirm the rotor is not being pulled off center. That could cause squishy lever action.

As suggested, i would pull the nose completely apart and verify eveything.

I'm originally from McDonough but live in Valdosta. I'm in McDonough now but don't have the bike. Kind of wish I knew someone as nice as you that lived closer to me. I talked to a local shop but they are wanting $200+ to really look at it.

Yeah I think there is just a massive amount of air in the lines. The little cup of brake fluid doesn't have much in it.

Question: Is there supposed to be a little rubber liner inside the little cup? If so is it supposed to be on top of the brake fluid or hold the brake fluid?
 
Personally I'd sell it. The bike has been down and slid into something, hence the new frontend. The seller was not forthcoming with you and you've only scratched the surface on the bike. Yes you can fix the odds and ends but by the time you do that you could get a nice clean stock FZ6.

Your brake system is almost out of fluid. Pull the rudder thing out, it folds back up on itself, and add fluid.

+1 above^^^.

Unless your very mechanically inclined and do a VERY INTENSIVE INSPECTION for frame damage (I'd put money that it was wrecked hard), your going to have your hands full in any case...

Folks don't do Suzuki forks on the FZ, they do R6 forks....

Someone didn't take care of the bike and did a very half a$$ed fix...

You guys maybe right, but I'm up for the challenge. People take wrecked bikes and build them up all the time. I think the frame is good. It rides fine and hasn't done anything to make me think otherwise. More pics to come.

Hi, I would start from here:
Contact Us

Call these people and ask to check your VIN number for any flags, recalls, complaints etc.,.

BTW, after the forum's website got updated, I can't see any pics that you've uploaded, Is that only me?

You have to start a reply, start typing, then below will be a "manage attachments".

Now you'll get a blank screen where you have to upload pic's from your puter, INTO the forum folder.

Once those are loaded, you click the photo you want to post, then drag it down (for that post).

Hit done and its uploaded.

I just did that procedure, can you see my pic?
 
Test.... Raja...do you see this zebra?

Actually for the ones the OP posted, I can't see them, but on the previous pages, I was able to see the white FZ6R pic.

No it's not you, trying to upload pics from my phone and deleted them accidentally.
 
Yea, its not you, the pic's just didn't post. It takes a couple of times to get used to it.


Now Motogiro, he thinks he posted a moving Zebra.

Now, he's in California (that may be why) and to me, it looks like two jokers acting the fool!! Maybe Abbot and Costello! ;)
