Just a quick question; Do the 04-06 models and the S2 models share the same rear brake disk? I'm asking because my 04 has a warped rear and I can pick up a paractially new 09 disk for next to nothing. If they'd match up I'm having it! :thumbup:
I have just replaced the pads, brake lines fluid and cleaned out the calipers. The seals seemed pretty good (Clean, flexible no damage) so I just re-used them. The problem is that I now have a pulsing squeak in my rear brake. You can hear it at low speeds and the disk gets quite hot so it's...
So I'm looking at taking off the nosecone of my 04 FZ6 and replacing it with a 7 inch single round headlight. I've done a fair bit of nosing around here but every solution I see seems geared toward U.S bikes. I really like the looks of the Aztec 8 kit but I'll have to have it shipped over here...
Ahh I see, cheers guys I'll have a look when I have it all apart again next week to do the fibreglassing. I'm not bothered about having it exact, I just can't deal with it touching the tank. Can't seem to find any on eBay so it looks like I'm going to have to take the entire nose off and see...
So I've had a spot of bad luck this week and had the bike fall off it's stand not once but twice! :rant:
The first time was partially my fault and involving a hill, the second time was on flat ground, on a spot where it's been parked before and completely defied gravity. The net result is...
Hey guys.
I had a bit of a drop earlier and cracked the nose fairing on my 04 FZ6. I lost a bit but managed to pick most of it up and bring it back with me. Gonna get something to weld plastic together and some filler and rebuild it. I also have the optional side fairings from the 04 that are...
Evening lads.
I'm looking for a website that'll supply genuine Yamaha bits for an 04 FZ6. Specifically a fairing mount for the radiator (The old one was broken by a drop from the previous owner. I need to drill it out at some point) and some of those plastic screws for the windscreen, as I...
You can pre-load the shifter? Well there's something I didn't know. How do you go about doing that then? I'll take a look at the throttle cable tomorrow, and the chain is alright as I checked that a few days ago.
Cheers man.
The topic says it all really. I've had my 2004 FZ6 for about 3 months now, and all my up and downshifts are clunky as hell! I came from an old Kawasaki ER-5, and even with the rubbish Kawa gearbox, I could still shift through the gears like it was an automatic; no jumping, no clunking, no rev...
Cheers for the info, I believe I have the process down now.
I just need to find a way to get at the bolts now. Typically the CCT is located right behind a section of frame... :Flip:
Okay, so here's the procedure as I understand it from the descriptions.
1) Undo the two bolts joining the CCT to the block
2) Measure the distance from the end of the centre bolt to the end of the ratchet. If at the mating surface go and punch the dealer who sold it me.
3) Now here's the...
Nah, it sounds like a CCT issue. Correct side of the engine, not varied with RPMs, sounds like a loose bolt. As long as the tensioner is reset again there'll be no consequences. Besides, it's not a massively difficult job so why not give it a look over really?
