Im not sure if this is a game changer or not but I checked my coolant. Its oily as hell. Could this still be caused by a ring not properly sealing? I doubt its a gasket. PCV? (if ours bike have one) I will still check all my caps and the cr9e's are quite a bit cheaper so I might just put new...

I didnt check to see if there was anything actually in the oil, but it did seem very thin. I will cut open the old filter because I replaced that as well.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their interest in helping me with this problem. I do agree that the dealer is responsible. Iv delt with this dealer before and they seem to be honest guys, so it is a bit disapointing. Also, the cap was loose on the wire on the #3 cylinder. I also checked the...

Well I certainly did not mean to create such a disagreement. Unfortunently I did not make it to the dealer today; it was only going to be a basic check. I did schedule a day to drop it off on the 23rd for a complete diagnostic. In the mean time I will check the caps, although I gotta say it does...

Ill have to confirm whether I can outright return it or not tomorrow. They do have a 30 day guarantee the all mechanical problems are covered within the first 30 days. Also, I put in a new plug in the 3rd cylinder, and rode around. The weird thing is, I cant see any smoke out of the exhaust...

Here are the plugs I pulled. Also, I have had the bike only for a few weeks. I have until July 22nd to return it if I want. Im also not sure if this would be a covered repair as I have a 3yr warranty.

As an update, I tried switching to a synthetic oil to see if there would be a change. Nope. oil was 1/2 quart low after 150ish miles! I just got done pulling the 1st, 3rd, and 4th plugs (w/o removing tank or air filter, could not reach the 2nd) 1st and 4th looked good... the 3rd, well.. see for...

I spend part of the time lugging it around; 3-6k rpm. I was attempting to see how good my mpg was so had been driving around town in 5th or 6th. But, I have done quite a bit of hard riding; keeping the rpms up and blasting around corners and such. Also I commute to work and have been putting...

Ive had my FZ6 for a few weeks now and am loving it, but unfortunently I am taking it back to the dealer on Saturday. The engine seems to run great, but I am apparently burning an extremely unusual amount of oil. I have put about 1100 miles on the bike and have had to add about 1 1/2 quarts of...

Hello all. Just wanted to introduce myself and give a little background. I have grown up around powersports but the majority of my experience is in the dirt. I have owned several ATVs & dirtbikes - a Blaster, Banshee, YZ 125, and Scrambler 500. I have ridden a few motorcycles, but never had one...
