Hello guys. I come to you seeking help for the dreaded task of replacing the CCT on the '05 FZ6. I can get a genuine CCT for about $AU100, and I like this option because the stock one has thus far lasted 60000kms, and I haven't had to fiddle with it - whereas a manual CCT will need...

Hello my fellow forum participants. I am selling the Fizzer. Thankfully, I am selling it to my brother, so I will know it is treated well. But during the pre-sale check, I detected a problem. Out if the back of the gearbox, directly in front of the underseat storage, there is a little...

Hello my fellow forum participants! I have a quick question, that I would love an answer to everything please, as well as some advice if possible. It looks like I'm FINALLY going to get my Fizzer back this week, after my unfortunate lowside IN DECEMBER! Anyway, my bike, a 2005 FZ6, with...

Good Afternoon my fellow riders. I have the US, imperial, manual for my motorcycle, and was wondering if anyone might be able to show where I could obtain the metric version please. My bike is a 2005 FZ6 (S1) Cheers, Rick

Hey Guys and Gals, I'm getting my forks rebuilt with Racetech 1kg/mm springs, and was wondering if anyone had help or suggestions as to what fork oil is recommended for the (much) heavier springs. Spacings and fork height etc. I'd be really appreciative for any personal experiences with...

Probably a little off-topic, but I finally received the stuff I ordered from PowerSports Plus. I ordered $140 worth of fork and caliper seals, RaceTech fork springs, and paid via Paypal. Interestingly, the next day, PowerSports Plus deducted $41 for shipping. (I was expecting to have to...

After careful consideration, and recommendation from Townsend, I pulled the db killers from my Scorpions cans, and..... As I feared, I love it! I start my bike up at 0400 to warm it up before leaving for work, and was worried about it disturbing my neighbours. Well, now I've heard the...

My tyres are getting low, but yesterday, on my first RDO, I went for an, ahem, spirited ride around the Adelaide hills. Roughly 300kms later, I came back home, beat, but with a strange afterglow of satisfaction. (I've really gotta get out more) Anyway, I wake up this morning and go out to wash...

Hello, my fellow forum enthusiasts. As I'm coming up to my 42000km 'Major Service' (most of which I'll be doing myself, due to budget constraints!) I have called around a few places to get quotes on checking my valve clearances. A couple of places have quoted me $200 - $250 for checking...

Hi Guys and Gals! Just an update on my upcoming chain pitch and sprockets change. I went ahead and bought a Vortex 17T Front Sprocket (weighing 200g and made of Chromoly) A SuperSprox Stealth 46T rear Sprocket (weighing 640g and made of 7075-T6 aluminium centre and Nickel Coated...

Hi Guys and Gals, Does anyone have a link to the Haynes manual for the '05 FZ6 please? Cheers, Rick

G'day Guys and Gals, As part of my 520 conversion I am hoping so borrow/rent a chain breaker/riveter please. (in and around Adelaide) A decent one will cost too much for the limited use it'll get - and I need it to break my 530 chain, and then break the 120link 520 chain to 118links and...

G'day Guys and Gals, I gave a quick question regarding my 520 conversion. I'm putting a Vortex 17T, a Supersprox 46T and an RK GB520GXW chain on my Fizzer. I'm going to have to get a chain breaker, to shorten the chain - and my question is whether I can reuse that link to re-join the...

Hello my fellow Fizzer enthusiasts! I have done my tax return this year, and as such am planning some more mods to my Fizzer that I would like to get thoughts and opinions on please. My Fizzer, as it sits, is already modified - a bit - but I have the following proposed additions. As my...

Ok, now you've helped me get the sprocket, I need a chain! Hello my fellow forum participants - I want to change to a 520pitch chain/sprockets setup. I have contacted Supersprox, Vortex etc and it seems they don't do a 17/520 for the FZ6. (As long as the spacer/off set/spline is the same...

Hi Guys and Gals, Now that I have finally gotten my Powerbronze lower fairing fitted, I'm in the market for some PowerBronze sliders to protect the fairing. If you have some, or know of some, for sale, please let me know. Cheers, Rick

Hello my fellow forum participants, I have a question regarding tuning the FZ6. I have an '05 FZ6 (S1) and have experienced a slow decline in fuel economy over the past 6 months. I recently purchased a set of Scorpion slip-ons and a PowerCommander3usb and fitted both to my bike. The cans...

I was riding out of Mt Barker this afternoon, going to work, and in front of me I saw a red bike turn onto the South-East Expressway from the overpass. As I was coming from Mt Barker proper, and the bike, with pillion was about 200m ahead of me, I just saw a fellow two wheeler. By the time...

Hello my fellow forum participants. I have a curly one for you. I am obsessive about maintenance with my bike, and do everything myself, if I can. Unfortunately, I don't own a manometer, so just took my bike into Yamaha World here in Adelaide. Again, unfortunately, they have a viewing...

G'day Guys and Gals, I use Fuelly to track my fuel economy and usage and was just looking over my figures. Now, I know the tank is said, by Yamaha, to be a 19.4L (5.12US gal) tank, but my last fill, for one example, was 19.58L (5.17US gal). As I refuel on the centre stand, and a previous...
