    removing front tire.........?

    Thank you :) They didn't have the right size at Pep Boys, I first tried a 5/8" that didn't even fit on my wrench, it was too big. I returned it and got a 18mm instead, this one fit on my wrench (1/2) but it was too small, I stuck a flathead screwdriver in it and it moved. The front wheel is off...

    removing front tire.........?

    I'm stuck, I took off all the bolts the manual mentioned, but I can't get the axle to slide out. There is a huge bolt looking thing on one side of the axle, am I supposed to unscrew that? If yes, what size is it / what tool should I get?

    Turn signals with the headlights?

    I didn't think about the 'flashing my headlight as a signal' issue. I will look into the pod lights, they sound like a way better idea. Thank you!

    Turn signals with the headlights?

    I don't think anyone has ever tried it, Today at work I saw a BMW modded to flash its headlight on one side as a turning signal. It was a really bright turn signal, we all know that BMW was there and it was going to turn. Since the FZ6 has two lights too, I thought it would be awesome to...

    What gear do you honestly use?

    I always wear my helmet. I look at the weather forecast before I leave the house and if there is any chance of rain, I also bring my leather jacket. I live in Florida so I have been wearing my leather jacket every single time for the past few months. I don't have a pair of gloves...

    04-06 mirrors are different from 07-08 ?

    I'm pretty sure they fit differently. I too broke the mirror of my 2005 fz6 a few months ago and I specifically bought a 04-06.

    police bike dominoes

    From the name of the topic I thought you were talking about Domino's Pizza. Glad I'm still the only one using his FZ6 to deliver pizzas once in a while!

    Has anyone tried "M043" mirrors w/turn signals?

    I found them on ebay and they look great but I couldn't find any review online. Did anyone get them? I'm afraid to waste $45. Here's the link: http://www.d2moto.com/Items/m043-chrome?&caSKU=m043-chrome&caTitle=Universal%20Chrome%20Integrated%20Racing%20Mirrors%20for%20Street%20Bikes and Yamaha...

    Bloody pen drive thingy won't work..........

    Try booting your computer with a linux liveCD ( Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu ). If it doesn't work then nothing else will, and it will at least tell you what is wrong with it.

    Tubes hanging out next to the center stand?

    All of them? How many things can overflow? Thanks for the quick answer.

    Tubes hanging out next to the center stand?

    I unfortunately dropped my loved FZ6 for the first time today. Aside from a broken mirror and a few scratches on the front fairing (I might just replace it with a fz6n one), I noticed three black cables (tubes) hanging down by the center stand. I think one of them is connected to the fuel tank...

    Is it easy/possible to install the tires?

    Thank you for the detailed answer. It sounds relatively doable so I will definitely try to do it myself. Can you mail me a copy of your manual to [email protected] ? Thanks again!

    Is it easy/possible to install the tires?

    I just purchased a new front tire for my fz6 (Shinko 009 Raven) and I would love to avoid paying $40 per tires to get them installed. Is it possible? Dangerous? I heard something about getting them balanced, what does it consist of? I did it on my old 1992 Suzuki GS500e, I just had to put...

    Tailbag and passenger? Need help to plan a roadtrip.

    I plan to make a huge road trip from Florida to New York with my (girl) friend and my new lover (2005 FZ6). I will need as much gear as possible to fit everything I can on the bike and the passenger, but I never experienced with motorcycle luggage (my old 1992 Suzuki GS500e couldn't make the...

    Torque Wrench

    Thank you, I still ordered one on ebay ( Needle Torque Wrench:eBay Motors (item 250336639806 end time Jun-01-09 08:00:03 PDT) ) because I have a bad habit of breaking anything if I don't know exactly what to do. I got that and the oil filter. All I need is the oil now. I live in Florida so I am...

    Torque Wrench

    Hi, I am new here, I purchased my bike a few days ago and it already needs an oil change. I will need a torque wrench (discovered that in the owner manual, I had never heard of such thing before). What is the least expensive option? I found this one on home depot's website, Buffalo Tools 1/2...
