A few months ago I replaced a faulty timing chain tensioner with an APE tensioner, thinking the simplicity of design would make for a more reliable bike. Well, riding into work yesterday I heard my bike go from running smoothly and happily to sounding absolutely god awful. I cut the engine...

Hello! After quite a bit of searching I noticed that we don't have a single definitive thread to illustrate how to change the tensioner/install a manual cam chain tensioner. I'd like to help make a guide to help others get through this, but the problem is I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing myself...

Ive ordered an APE tensioner. well see how it works.

whoops meant to quote you and ask about the cover. In a replacement tensioner, any word on the APE manual one vs the OEM automatic?

My bike sounds much more like the first video. Its the higher pitched whistling/metallic rattle that mine is making. Not so much the clicking in the second video. I may try to pop the cover off and look today. Any idea if there is oil behind the cover i need to worry about?

Just rode back from my girlfriends place now. Yes, it is rpm dependent. I revved it at a light, clutch in and in 1st gear. I haven't tried it in neutral yet. The bike does seem to chatter a bit in neutral. Looking at YouTube can chain videos, those almost seem like more of a ticking noise...

How involved is changing the cam chain tensioner? The bike has less than 2k miles, but has been crashed by myself and the previous owner.

So, I finally swapped my forks following my crash, and got my bike back on the road. When I was locking my bike up at work, I noticed some anti freeze below the bike. I saw a few ml of fluid on the radiator cap, and a replacement for that is already in the mail. But then on my ride after work to...

Revzilla has a pretty awesome deal on this helmet, and I'm tempted to pick one up. Does anyone have any insight or experience with it?

Would you by any chance happen to have the forks as well? The deal that was offered to me may not be on the table anymore.

I'm looking for a set of forks to repair my crash damaged bike. 2004-2009(whenever this generation stopped being made), its all good. Let me know what you're looking for. -Kyle

So it's just forks, fender, and caliper, and it will bolt up with the stock brake lines, wheel, brake rotor, and triple tree? If so I may take you up on those calipers haha.

Hello! I recently had an accident, and am working on returning my FZ6 to service. I came across an offer for 2009 forks, but I know some changes happened between 2006 and 2009 to the front forks. Would I need to buy e newer calipers as well? Are there other parts I would also need? Is this a...

I got my FZ6 in March, and have put roughly 2,000 miles on it since I got it. This accident happened on may 10th, but i simply never posted it. I was on my way to work, and was about 5 yards over a rail crossing when a car driving in the opposite direction came onto my side of the road. The car...

Does anyone know of any backpacks that double as magnetic tank bags?
