Thanks Scott, I will look for the Carb sync tool (actually I am trying to DYI an electronic Carb sync tool) then I will try syncing the TB and see. I saw a post here: https://www.sportbikes.net/forums/fz6-fz6r/414904-strange-idle-problem-suggestions.html This guy seems to have exact my...

Hi, My 05 fz6 recently had low idle, around 1000 rpm when warm, it sounds sputter at idle and jerking at < 3000 rpm. So I adjusted the screw and with the screw all the way in, the idle raised up to 1200 rpm, the bike is a little smoother and the idle sputter sound is reduced a lot, but still I...

It will take time, usually 3 weeks for delivery. It will be my last option.

Sorry for digging this up. Has anyone tried measure the length of throttle cables? I want to know because here in my local market it is difficult to get this fz6 genuine parts and I am trying to find cables of other bikes with similar length. Thank you.

Scott, did you remove that thin plastic cover around the cable? Mine came bad so I removed it. So far so good now but not sure how the cable will last without that.

Yes now I know I should not. But yesterday while re-assembling the cable end, because the lower arm was pulling the cable, I though it would be easier to remove that end, assemble the clutch lever end, then push that arm in and assemble that end. But then I was surprise as mentioned above...

I just had the same problem yesterday. I removed the cable end from the clutch lever (on left handlebar). After fixing some minor scratches on the lever, I removed the cable end at the lower lever (engine), then assemble the cable end of upper side to the handlebar lever. Then I was very...

Mine sounds screaming at over 5000 rpm, and in town I shift at 4000 rpm, too. So I guess I will live with this sputter sound at low rpm. I've just measure again my pipes, they are 40mm diameter. Actually I want the sound a little bit quieter, so maybe I will try some silencer to reduce the...

Thanks Scott, Happy to hear it is normal. But it is still quite annoy since most of the time I will be cruising in city with that sound. The traffic here will not allow me to rev more than 5000 rpm so often. In certain traffic conditions I usually slightly accelerate then use clutch to cruise...

So here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf9y18LNy3g I mount my phone on the rear grab handle. Sorry the sound quality is not so good and the camera is looking toward sky. You can hear the sputter sound when I was maintaining constant speed, it was 2nd gear, 2500 ~ 3500 rpm, speed...

Yes, the pipe is branched to 2 smaller grid pipes (around 30mm diameter) wrapped by fiber glass then go straight out. This was done by previous owner. The sound is not good but it's not the time for it now. I smell rich exhaust gas when cold start and during warming up. When it is fully warm...

Hello all. I tried searching but not much people talking about this issue. Mine is 2005 model, everything is stock except the exhaust with straight pipes mod and CAT removed. It accelerates and run fine. But while maintaining constant speed or slight deacceleration the exhaust sound sputters...

I changed the TPS, adjust it to 0.68V at fully closed throttle and after 3 day riding I can confirm that all the symptoms I mentioned earlier have gone. The bike run smoother, no jerking, no rpm drop and power lost when hot... And I also notice the bike run a little bit cooler, around 5 degree C...

I got it, thank you. From other photos of throttle bodies on this forum, I see the idle adjusting screw has no mechanical link to the throttle shaft, I think it is just tuning the air flow (going through another path, not through throttle butterfly valve) for idling, will not affect the angle...

Thanks TownsendFJR1300. I will leave the battery at last because its voltage seems to be ok and it is relatively new (1 year old). Since last 2 weeks the symptom is more clear pointing to the TPS: bike jerking at constant throttle or during deacceleration, and when engine is hot the idle rpm...
