Several complete packages are available here: FZ-6 04-09 Sprocket Center I would recommend this one: http://www.sprocketcenter.com/p/651037/rk-530xso-chain-steel-sprocket-kit---yamaha-6001000.html In addition you should replace the countershaft sprocket retaining washer and nut: WASHER...

Maybe my sarcasm was missed... In any event, I just count flats on the M8-1.25 adjustment nuts. Each flat, 60° spaced, represents .0082" of axial travel for the axle. If the axle nut is kept under minimal tension the wheel will move in exact proportion to the nut rotation without slipping. If I...

+1 I don't understand what the added step of using a feeler gauge does. But, I'm not very mechanically inclined.

Thread closed and user BANNED immediately! First post, just joined, his profile says "Honda", and he/she is looking for key blanks for a Suzuki. Take your criminal activities somewhere else!

About 4 years ago I changed all coolant hoses. If I remember correctly there are 8 hoses in total. Just preventive maintenance, they will get quite stiff as they are constantly exposed to UV light in addition to the engine heat. I have about 85K miles right now and I will change them all next...

Seems to me you have diagnosed the problem properly. The only thing left would be damaged wiring or connection from the ECU to the coil but that is VERY unlikely. I would purchase a new/used coil.

In June, Lefty and I took a 5 day trip from California through Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Below is a review of what we covered. An overview of the route with Google maps is here: Buena Park, CA to Buena Park, CA - Google Maps There are pictures that relate to the trip here: Southwest ride 2012...

+1. New gears would need to be designed and manufactured from scratch. Based on 2 gear vendors I have used for machinery rebuilding in my area, I would say that a matched pair of ANY ratio would run $800-$1200. Remove existing gear set from bike. Measure all splines and dogs, calculate ratio...

This is the end of the line...thread closed.

If you "blow on it" you will not get any useful information about the condition of the sensor or the diagnostic display. It is installed at the end of a manifold of hoses to give a average intake vacuum reading between the cylinder head and the throttle bodies. The ECU uses this data to help...

As I am now home and have the parts fiche, I extracted the page in question that shows the hose layout. Look for the 2 RED arrows that correspond to the vacuum sensor and the manifold hose. And so there is no misunderstanding, you want to apply vacuum, not pressure to test. Test between 0"-29"...

I don't have the manual with me at this time but there is a display in the DIAG mode that shows a value of current vacuum at the sensor port. Put a short piece of vacuum hose on the sensor, connect it to a hand held vacuum pump and slowly pump it up and then release the vacuum pressure. I...

That was me. In my particular case I found that performance and mileage decreased over a 10,000 mile interval to the point of having misfiring under load. After changing back to the standard NGK plug all of my problems have disappeared. The thread in question...

+1..is this a planned trip or a permanent move? Really interested in cost to move a bike from here to there...

This is the loop I did today, check it out: I-5 N to I-5 N - Google Maps

This post from the past seemed to be spot on...http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-technical/11602-fz6-steering-head-bearing-went-bad-2.html#post277343

What is the point of all of these "polls" you keep starting? I count 7 you have authored in less than 1 week. Some are motorcycle related, but this one about aliens is just absurd. Whats next, religion? Politics? Sexual orientation? :rolleyes:

I had it washed by cheap labor 2 weeks ago. It won't look like that after our trip next week!

I'm bringing a friend along who has a time constraint. See you guys at the 79/15 before 10:00AM

Give some consideration to the BMW F800R. Wavex and I rode one last weekend, just a blast to ride. Excellent MPG, looks great, great fit and finish plenty of torque for city use, and priced around $11000 USD. And most BMW dealers will let you take bikes out for test rides. 2011 BMW F800R...
