Hopefully it is just a hose. Not the, dare I say it, head gasket... gulp. With the holiday weekend coming up I'll have some time to inspect closely. Thanks.
That's pretty much exactly what I have in mind. I definitely don't want to take it to the dealer, just want to be able to make some adjustments and tune-ups on my own. I love my bike and love the confidence of riding a well-maintained machine even more.
A while back, I noticed that my bike was running a little hot. Checked the coolant level and it was nearly empty! I refilled and about a month or two later it was noticeably lower. I kept tabs on the level and tried to find any leaks but couldn't find any. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have to admit that I've been a little negligent when it comes to maintenance. Of course I've changed the oil and kept the chain lubed up but other than that, I really haven't done any upkeep on my bike. It sat all winter (under a cover but outside) and I feel like it needs a tune up before I...
Gotcha. Bummer about the halos. I'll be putting an order into Retro this weekend (sans halo). The bike looks great btw. Definitely worth all the PITA work!
I am really considering taking this mod on. I just made BD43's headlight mod wire. What kind of problems are you running into? I'm not a mechanical expert, nor an electrical expert for that matter, but thought the OP was fairly straight forward.
TBH I have not checked the chain tension in a while. I'll do that next, and I have an oil change planned for the weekend. Hopefully that will do the trick!
Thanks!
I adjusted the clutch cable using the adjuster on the handlebar. There was a bit of free play, so I tightened it up thinking that maybe the clutch wasn't fulling disengaging. But that didn't make a difference. Also, I don't believe that would explain why the problem is only affecting lower gears.
My '09 FZ6 just ticked 3000 miles today. I bought it new a year ago next week. Recently (about a month), I have been noticing a fairly loud "pop" when I shift up into 2nd and sometimes 3rd, and when I shift down into 2nd and first. The higher gears are smooth shifting and quiet...
I just bought a brand new FZ6 and I love it. But I'm having a hard time finding mods that are made for/fit the '09. I'm new to the forum. Anyone out there have an '09 that can relate? Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
