I'll check out the negative terminal again after reading this post

I have ridden the bike for two longer stretches. If it was due to water, I am pretty confident that it would have been taken care of by now. :confused: I did use WD40 and compressed air for the junctions. I did not pressure wash, well sort of. I used my garden hose but I did use the jet...

Problem persisting. Must be electrical short or something. Sigh! Need to do better diagnostics. Wish my multimeter could help here.

So I went ahead and cleaned up the ECM's main harness and the others that I could open. The coil junctions in my 2004 FZ6 seem to be snuck under the battery and in the conical shape up front. :( You seem to be having more space there or have you taken your bike totally apart? :rockon: Still the...

Hello all, I washed my FZ6:rolleyes: and it started sputtering the next day. Ran the diagnostics and it shows Er_1 (in diagnostic mode)as soon as I start the engine.:eek: Video below Yamaha FZ6 sputter - YouTube Which connections can be causing this? I have checked the air filter and sparkplug...

Thanks to this thread, I just ordered my stock Yamaha set from Yamahapart.com. 16/46/118. I have this guy who does it for 120 bucks. I would have loved to do it myself and someone who knew but a little apprehensive when it comes to a certain level. More when the parts arrive and I reach...

bump the thread. I am still not able to get to the videos.:eek:

Hey, Is it me or the video links are broken. :-( :(

Changing the headlight bulbs on the FZ6 is a breeze. The bulbs are very easy to get to and there is enough room to replace them too (I have bigger hands). Thanks to this post, i remembered that the adapter was on the previous H7. Ordered the Sylvania Nighthawk Platinum pairs of H4 and H7...

Still have it?

So can I use these (Amazon.com: GE H7-55NHP/BP2 Nighthawk PLATINUM Headlight Bulbs, Pack of 2: Automotive) in my stock 2004 FZ6 low beam socket? My low beam H7(??) has burned out. Looking to replace the set with decent replacement before my high beam burns out too. Sylavania vs. GE vs. Yamaha...

I believe in frequent oil changes too, but oils now a days are much better and these synthetic ones don't break down as much. Will have to adapt.... I used to change oil for my cars myself but the oil changes are so far apart (>10K with topping every 5K) I have given up on that. Just today...

I am in Herndon, VA. Used to ride in India all the time, all kinds of weather. Looking for mechanics, DIYers, routine maintenance etc. Got my neighbor's 2004 FZ6, love the little devil.:rockon:
