Yeah, I see your point:thumbup: Let's say I go ahead and buy a manual tensioner then. When would I know that I got it right? I mean... When will you know that there's proper tension on the chain? It could either be too tight, or it could be too much slack. This would be something I'd worry...

Okay, I opened up the cam chain panel. Everything is like it's supposed to be. Chain didn't show any sings of being worn out, nor was it slack in any way. So far so good. I started up the bike and got this amazingly brilliant idea. What if I try to adjust that little screw inside the...

So.... Where can I get a manual tensioner then?

Allright, allright:BLAA: I'll replace the cam chain tensioner;) Let me just underline that the noise I'm talking about is only audible at a VERY narrow rev range. It's in the area somewhere around 2000 and 2500 rpm's. Not on idle and not in the higher rev ranges. Therefore, I'm supposing...

Yup, I've thought about that. But I reckon the mechanic I spoke with at the dealer is trustworthy when he told me this isn't a serious issue. Regardless, I will open up the cam chain panel today and have a look at it. If there's a slack chain I will deal with it sooner rather than later;)

Okay then... I took that bolt out, and lubed the inside with a bit of motor oil. put the bolt back in and fired up the bike and let it run to operating temperature. Still that nasty sound. So, I figured why not try to wiggle that screw inside the cylinder? I did that with a thin...

I will:thumbup:

Aha.. But you see, the guy WAS indeed successful, but as one would say: Curiosity killed the cat: Quote Ricko: "I need a little help, Like a lot o bikes my timing chain tensioner was producing some rattling sounds. Per a buddy of mine, he suggested that I take off the top nut and add a little...

Thanks a million! Still, as I am an idiot regarding this, is it so that I should losen bolt #7 (without taking it out completely) according to the schematic and get oil in there? If it's that simple, I'll just go ahead and try it right away. Looking at that picture, tells me that it should be...

I stored my bike away mid October last year, and didn't take it out again until three weeks ago. The temperature where it sat was somewhere around 10 degrees c the whole time. So, after nearly 5,5 months, the bike fired up instantly with no indication of poor battery capacity. In other...

Well, the bike has 40.300 km's on the clock now. I guess this noise started somewhere around 39.000. The mechanic I talked to, told me this isn't a serious issue and that I shouldn't worry using the bike until the 42.000 km service is due (which, by the way, is a redicilous expensive...

I'm probably an idiot that don't understand your buddy's tip, but what did you actually lube? The bolt that's visible from the outside of the motor on the right hand side? I got the exact same problem as you had.

Hi guys! Went to my dealer today to get them to listen to a "new" sound my bike has started making: The best way I can describe the noice would be a bolt rattling within the motor in a certain rev range just above idle. And the sound only comes when the engine is hot. The dealer said...

:welcome: I can't see why quite a few states that the FZ6 isn't a good beginners' bike? First of all, the FZ6 is being used as a school bike at every other driving school around here. Normally, that wouldn't be such a heavy hitting argument, but the fact is that the mandatory driver's...

Yey! Allmost 7 degrees c, dry roads and otherwise good riding conditions. And today it snowed...

Rode yesterday with more than a meter of snow on each side of the road. Is that a record of some sort? Anyone else done that? Last summer I rode from Oslo to Copenhagen in less than 6 hours. That's about 700 km's. I presume I'm the only one on this forum that have done that, so I reckon...

No problem doing this as long as the HID kit you're using is a high quality kit. The vendor that I got this from, sells kits with 50W ballasts, and I allready got it in the high beams on my car. Works like a charm:thumbup: Vendor has one year guarantee on this as well. If a bulb should go, then...

Dunno if these guys will ship to the states, but just send them a mail and ask. It's my bike that you see on the pic, and they're trust worthy. Here you can get two projectors, one of each type: Produkt - Bixenon linselys - Dybvik Trading a/s The site is in Norwegian though, and prices are...

Long time no see There's been and still is winter up here, and the bike's still stored safely away. Weather is about to get a little better, and I guess it will be time to take the bike out riding in only a couple of weeks. Anyway; I have a few pics that I took for the vendor of this stuff...

Hi! Directly translated, it means: "you should be very welcomed", or in other words: We welcome you over:) It's snowing here now, but it's about 0 degrees and it's slush all around, unless you're above 2-300 meters. The skiing conditions should be quite good in the mountains at the moment!
