Hi guys and gals.Newbie here I picked up an 06 FZ6 for a steal (now I know why) it over heats and bad. I need help. Heres the skinny, previous owner PO dropped the bike avoiding a car scrapped up the right side but not all that bad bent the fairing stay left side broke loose from bracket now hangs down Im gonna try to straighten it out if not ill need a new one. other than that it all works rides great just funky looking front fairing. Ok back to the over heating, the bars on the temp guage go to max at speeds above 50 or so but if i keep it under that it will go to 4 bars. Here is what I have done so far. Changed oil and filter, new thermostat (yamaha couldnt have made that any harder to change), new radiator cap and coolant. yes all of the air is out of the system, fan turns on at 4 bars on guage can hear it and feel it lol burnt the ****e out of me hand testing it lol so fan works. I can see fluid circulating when i pop the cap off in the radiator. so not thinking water pump is the issue but this is my first yamaha Im a CBR guy sorry. anyhoo I plan to fix this bike then sell but WONT pass this problem off to someone else like was done to me. any help would be appreciated.
