Thanks I tried pushing down hard, but admittedly not as hard as I could. I began to think that if I forced it, I would not be able to unlatch it... Once the rain halts I expect to take a closer look. Perhaps I need to shim the bracket down a little with some washers to move the engagement...

I have a used Corbin that I bought from a forum member years ago and it has seen better days. With Spencer having retired, there are very limited options for FZ6 seats. I looked at a Shad, and on their website it says it fits the F^ with no years mentioned. I decided to buy it from Revzilla at...

Be aware that the issue Okle001 was having might NOT be the issue you are having. Most symptoms have MANY possible root causes. You have 1 easy and fairly conclusive test to perform. Swap the 2 coils and see if the problem moves. If it moves then it is the coil and if it doesn't move then...

FYI you CANNOT ignore the problem. Loss of damping in the rear can lead to all sorts of instability and is dangerous. I put the Ohlins on my 05 S1 and it is marvelous and expensive. I agree with Gary, at minimum you should be able to find a used genuine Yamaha FZ6 rear shock on eBay...

Correct. When I compare my indicated speed vs the speed shown on my GPS, the speedo typically reads anywhere from 3 to 6 mph higher. Keeps me out of trouble :)

Understood and good luck. Make sure you find a reputable shop.

Easy now..... More info please. Does the fuel pump prime when you turn the key on? Are you certain that the kill switch is in the run position? Does it crank? Remember that it will only crank if it is in Neutral or the clutch lever is pulled in AND the side-stand is up. It ran before...

Good luck and remember... love is 'for better and for worse' :)

Before you get too deep into a teardown, ALWAYS start with the most probable. https://www.600riders.com/threads/the-kill-switch-problem.58255/ I rebuilt mine a few years ago using the link above as a guide simply because I knew it was a question of WHEN, not IF the switch became a problem. It...

The kill switch is a common weak part on the bike. It is not uncommon for it to become dirty, and one of those symptoms is a big impact on power at high rpm. This is caused by the high frequency vibrations of the upper revs. To test, you can use a wire to jump the switch closed. Or you can...

Welcome Tamas. I too have an 05 which just turned 72,663 miles and still runs like the day I got her. Post up some pictures of your new ride, and more importantly, let us know if you need any help, advice, assistance. There are some very talented and experienced members here, from...

Ha, I haven't used that stuff in years.

Thanks Gary. All I had was 0000 so I am guessing it took al little longer than I originally thought, but it worked really well.

Shame on you if you opened this for the wrong reason :) Anyone have tips and product recommendations to clean the 'patina' off the stainless tips?

The ABS bikes get their speed from one of the ABS wheel sensors. The non-ABS bikes have a separate speed sensor in the transmission. That is why there is a different gear indicator for non-ABS bikes.....

So when I was troubleshooting my intermittent RR issue before I replaced the unit, I bought this little LED from Roadstercycle (towards the bottom of this page https://www.roadstercycle.com/ ) . It has a different color / flash pattern for different voltage levels, and I was able to determine...

New additions this year are the Dominator exhaust, new EBC front rotors and a Garmin Zumo XT GPS. With 72,299 miles on the clock she still runs and rides like a champ. Love these bikes! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dZ8CZ8iDyT0

2 years ago I had the unfortunate opportunity to test the protection of frame sliders (I don't have engine guards). https://www.600riders.com/threads/might-be-getting-another-fz6.59671/ I hit some diesel fuel in the middle of a 270 degree on ramp. The bike was really leaned over so it didn't...

+1 for Gary's suggestion. You would NOT be the 1st rider to fall victim to the engine cut-off switch. Very common.

Just got back from my check ride and everything works great! The exhaust sounds awesome, but I will need to put my ear plugs in for every, a good idea anyway, but a MUST with the Dominators. Will be putting a few miles on today and tomorrow for sure.
