Hi everyone,
Im approaching the 20,000 mile mark on my 08 FZ6 pretty quickly. I bought it used last year with 9,000 but I dont have the manual for it. What are some common maintence things that the bike usually requires around this time? (15-25k miles)
Thanks!
Nick
Hey guys,
thanks for all the responses! honestly I think I'd rather be safe than sorry considering I don't have money to replace my bike if anything major was to happen to it lol.
maybe someone else will be brave enough to try one and post the findings, id like to see the results.
Cheers, Nick
Hey!
I was browsing ebay for little upgrades for my FZ6 and I came across these two chips for the bike that are $20, and they claim that it will give you a gain of around 13hp. That seems a little outrageous to me, especially for that price. What do you guys think?
Here are the links...
Sorry, my parents came in to town and I havent been on in a while. But next time I head home I will check it out let you know. I appreciate all the help!!
Thanks for the quick response!
I'm actually away at college, so I'm not too sure how many wires are attached, but I'd put money on two wires. It is modified to have both headlights on at once, maybe that's the problem. But i really like the look of having both on at all times, instead of the...
Hi!
I have a 2008 FZ6 and towards the end of the season I noticed that the connector that I plug the headlight bulb into kind of melted a little bit. Its the black piece for the right headlight. What is this called and where can I get one?
I looked on bikebandit and it looked like it was a...
Hi!
I have started to notice that whenever I go fast on my 2008 Yamaha FZ6, It starts to get kind of wobbly. and i dont enjoy that! It usually start getting wobbly around 115 and I havent taken it past 125 because I dont feel comfortable. The fastest Ive ever had it up to was 132, around when...
I have read a few of these threads, and i knew eventually my time would come, i just didnt think it would be last saturday lol. I was dropping something off at my boss's house and he has a tight driveway and i usually do a tight u-turn where i counter balance. Well this time the bike stalled (I...
Hey, Im not too sure if there are other threads on this or not. i looked briefly.
but anyway, I was talking to my dad tonight who owns an fjr1300 and i always ride with him, multiple times a week. Im 17, and i have a 2008 FZ6 and hes 42. We got to talking and he said that he thinks i "beat" my...
Hi, Im just curious, I bought a 2008 FZ6 a few weeks ago. Im coming from a 1999 CBR600F4, and on youtube i always found it interesting to watch my bike race other cars, but there arent too many on there for the FZ6. So what have you raced, and how did you make out?!
Thanks, Nick
I have an 08, and mine does the sam exact thing, and even at higher speeds, it is definately a rapid ticking like someone else said. It is very annoying lol, but even on my last bike, a 99 CBR600F4, i noticed the same thing. It was carbureted tho...
Hey! I actually just bought an FZ6 too as my second bike. I live in upstate New York and paid $4000 for an 08 with 9200 miles on it. I thought i did alright seeing that it is motorcycle season, but some of you guys got great deals!
