Re: A cure for bad vibrations, spark plug caps!! You guys are increasing my quality of life. I chopped 1/4" off each wire and centered the screws. The minor vibrations that remained after syncing my throttle bodies - GONE. Thanks for this thread!!!

I thought wearing earplugs while riding my relatively quiet FZ6 was a dumb idea. Then the other day I put a pair in and now I almost can't ride without them.

You mean your modern sporting rifle? I park my bike in my garage when I'm home (past the suburbs and into rural country), and use a disc lock in the parking garage at work (downtown Rochester, NY).

I hooked #1 up to a vacuum gauge and adjusted it to spec. THEN I adjusted the others to it. If the TBs end up out of sync it only makes sense that the #1 TB can be off.

Rode my whole childhood/adolescence on dirt/mud. Yamaha Enduro. I couldn't vote in the poll though because I have only been riding on the road since June. I did take my FZ6 off-roading though. My buddy's dad was selling his property which we have recreated on our whole lives and I wanted...

I was able to visit 4 Advance locations to get my 4 vacuum restrictors. For anyone who has tried syncing their throttle bodies without vacuum restrictors do yourself a favor and order them. Those restrictors were the best part of the whole system and kept the oil calm in the tubes. A standard...

I rode it 20.5 miles to my office enjoying the nice cool morning air (about 57 degrees) and the smooth ride after syncing my throttle bodies. Maintenance-wise I've done a ton in the last few weeks. It's my first bike and I bought it back in June. * Mobil 1 4T Racing Oil Change * K&N Oil...

I guess his biggest mistake in the eyes of some was not being born with tons of experience. I hope he'll be alright.

I built my manometer the other night in about 20 minutes and what a difference after syncing the TBs! My hands don't vibrate anymore. I didn't have vacuum restrictors or any male-to-male connectors so I drilled holes through the bases of spent .22 long rifle casings. It worked alright, but...

It would be wrong if you didn't.

All, As the title suggests I'm having flash rate issues with my turn signals. This video explains it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Turn Signal Flash Rate Too Fast - YouTube

Thought I'd provide an update as to what I've done to my FZ6 since purchasing it and general summary of my riding experiences over the last few weeks. To the bike: * Mobil 1 4T Racing * K&N Oil Filter * K&N Air Filter * Cleaned & Lubed Chain * Drained, Flushed, and Replaced Coolant *...

You are correct sir.

Close but not technically correct. Compound bow part is correct.
