I got a new chain and sprockets. The chain came with a rivet link. I bought a chain breaker/rivet tool at harbor freight tools that works well. Unfortunately, I think the rivet link is too tight. I separated the side plate a little farther with a screwdriver and that seemed to free up the link...

I just got the Ventura rack brackets and Pack-rack delivered. The instructions certainly aren't the best for installation. Has anyone installed this rack before that can offer some tips before I head in to the garage?

of changing the rear tire but not the front as the rear is getting dangerously low but the front has a another 1000 miles or so? The tires would be different kinds too. Anyone done this?

I have learned to search the forum extensively before posting new threads mainly because I can find answers/reviews for anything I can think of. However this time I am having a frustrating time trying to find the right boots. I have been shopping for 2 weeks now. I guess what Im looking for I'm...

70 mph - 5800RPM 75 mph - 6200RPM 80 mph - 6600RPM Feels very smooth on the highway so for those who have a long commute may really want to consider the changeover. Took 1/2 hour or so. In conclusion, it looks like the RPM's lowered about 300-400 and the speedometer seems more accurate.

Can someone please talk me out of the thoughts I have about trading in for a FZ1. I feel like I am beating up on the FZ6 commuting over 100 miles a day on the highway. Maybe I need to go up a tooth on the front sprocket for all of the highway use. I love the FZ6 but does it like the contstant...

I took the front and rear wheels off and had new tires mounted at the local shop. I got he rear back on with little or no problem. The front however is a different story. My first question is, does it matter which way the wheel goes on or are both side identical? I mounted the wheel and one of...

Have a slight problem. My headlight(s) decided to go out. I checked the obvious--the bulbs, fuse, and wiring harness. The fuse was blown when I checked it. I replaced it and turned the key to on. Still nothing. I pulled the connection off of the bulb and tested it with a multi tester, no juice...

I left the key in the ignition all day and the battery is dead. Can I jump start the battery with a car or are they different amps? Any suggestions? I doubt it will pop start.

Does anyone use a cover on their bike when parked outside? I'm looking for a cover but really dont know where to start. Suggestions please......

For those who dont know I have had quite an experience with the FZ6. Since friday, when I got the bike back, I have been afraid to go over 4000-5000 RPM. I have a fear that something will happen to the bike or like I'm abusing it if I rev any higher. I guess I need to gain my confidence back...

On my commute to work yesterday morning on I-75, the 07 FZ6 decided to quit. I was going about 75mph and all of the sudden the engine quit. I immediately pulled the clutch lever and coasted to the shoulder of the highway. The bike has about 850 miles on it. I called the shop where I bought it...

According to a dealer here in Florida, it is illegal for the dealer to let you test ride a motorcycle unless there's a bill of sale. Anyone know information on this matter? Or do they just not want people to test ride for liability reasons?

Hello everyone!! I will be getting my FZ6 as soon as I can make it back to the bike shop. I'm trading in my 2006 KLR650 and I wanted to make sure Im not being had. The salesman said "$4000 and the trade and you're out the door". I dont know what the shops usually retail the FZ's for. Does this...
