    Rear tire losing traction when braking hard

    Hi all. My recent months of riding I've experienced my back tire completely losing traction and causing my bike to slide (scary as ****) when I have to brake hard. I've visually inspected the tires over and over and there isn't any fluid on it/nails/etc. This will only happen when braking hard...

    Reinstalling rear hugger?

    So after checking out my rear tire the other day, I noticed that the carbon fiber (more than likely imitation) rear hugger the previous owner installed is completely crooked. I took out all 4 bolts + the center plastic pin. I managed to wiggle/work the hugger out without having to remove the...

    Can't down shift?!

    My FZ6 transmission has been acting really sketchy lately. At times I can't down shift at all. I'm fully pulling the clutch in and no matter how hard I kick down..it just won't "click" and down shift. I just did an oil change about 350 miles ago and replaced the clutch cable about a month ago. I...

    WTT: My black header pipes for your stock header pipes

    Previous owner of my 2005 Yamaha FZ6 painted the header pipes black. A direct quote from him on how he did it: "Sanded the pipes, cleaned with laquer thinner, applied four coats of vht flameproof paint. Heat cycled according to directions on spray can." I want stock pipes and I'd like to...

    Removing paint from header pipes?

    Previous owner painted the header pipes (and maybe even all the way to the slip on part of my M4 exhaust, not sure) black and I don't like the look of it. I went to a paint store and explained to them my situation. I purchased some paint remover but was wondering how I should go about doing...

    Another stuck oil filter thread (and how I solved it)

    I thought I'd share my experience of trying to remove an oil filter from the previous owner's work from my 2005 FZ6. I started off by trying to find a "number 5" oil filter wrench. Couldn't find it anywhere online and some auto stores said they never even heard of it. Cycle Gear claimed they...

    FZ6 problems

    Just purchased my 2005 FZ6 a week ago and I've been having some problems. 1. Shifting 1st to 2nd. It'll sometimes get stuck in neutral. I've read all the threads and I have yet to do an oil change or any basic maintenance yet. Hoping that will help. 2. Engine cuts out for a split second at...
