Hi all, Have had my 06 Fz6 for a few years now, this morning I was leaving for work and made sure to drop my bike in the driveway in slow motion, it was more like laying it down for a nap gently (using my right leg as a pillow, I might add). It has frame sliders on, which it rested on nicely...

That'll be a nice trip! I'll surely keep an eye out for you two. I'll be on a red FZ6 with a red and white helmet, black jacket and black pants. And about the forecast, its upstate New York so we can never be sure! Ride safe.

Gonna do a ride close to home this Sunday on the Adirondack Byway up through the lake towns. Supposed to be a beautiful 76 degrees and sunny. Feel free to come along. Will start at the RT 30 and RT 29 crossroads in Vails Mills, NY. Meet at the Fastrac Gas Station at 9:30am, kickstands up at...

Thanks mate! I'll give that a shot and I'll set an appt for a tb sync should it continue. Thanks again!

Took it apart, cleaned it up (sprockets are fine luckily :D ) re-lubed, readjusted to be within spec under weight and took it for a test drive. Much improved! It was gunked up. Funny what dirt and oil will do.

Thanks very much for the reply! I'm afraid of this, I'm having it checked out today or tomorrow (I'm not completely comfortable with working on it myself quite yet) and hopefully its just some build up on the front sprocket. Although, after the chain was, cleaned, lubed and let out to...

This happened to me today with my 06 Fz6. I went and loosened the chain by half a turn on each swingarm, checked it with pressure on the bike and it seems better, but the noise has barely changed (noticeable but still very loud above 40 mph). Do I clean and lube the chain again or let it out...
