I have been having trouble with the clutch on this 06 FZ6 since I got it. Growing freeplay, a bearing whine (in hindsight) and eventually it just stopped disengaging. I assumed it was a warped clutch steel and ordered a new EBC SRK kit, but when I got in there, this is what I found...

Hey all, I recently changed my oil from Yamaha full synthetic 20-50 to Mobile1 10-40. Since the change I've been having the the typical sticky shifter drum symptom. I can shift one gear at a time but I have to tap the lever back into position before I can shift again. Shifting has become...

I've got a 2007 with ~12K on it. For the last thousand miles its had a valve tap. Its not there when the bike is cold and it comes on as it warms up. It it only noticeable though certain RPM ranges, like between 3-5K then gone and comes back around 7k. I bought the bike with about 10K about...

Took my first ride since I installed Givi engine guards... I guess it was a good thing too. I was turning left in a neighborhood and hit a river rock/cobble that had made its way into the street. The bike hopped, leaned over more and I grabbed the front brake and down we went :-( All is...

I finally got all the brackets I needed from Competition Accessories (has anyone else noticed they are awfully slow) and installed my hard bags. I didn't quite realize how large these cases were! I should be set for LONG trips now.

I've got a problem with a sticky ignition lock on my 2006 FZ6. When I test drove it, I had no problems, but now it takes almost a minute each time to get it to turn properly. Its not a matter of force, once I get it lined up, it turns very easily. It is hard to get lined up properly. I spoke...

So, I've been cruising around and looking at info about front suspension mods. Like the rest of you, I don't like the dive, and I have a "clunk" when I brake as well as a "flat tire feeling" that I'm attributing to the steering bearings. SO, I decided I would go whole hog. All Balls...

Hey All, I just picked up an 05 FZ6 from a fellow in Vancouver. I'm pretty excited, its the newest bike I've ever had :D Its got some scratches from some low speed drops but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'll be in the market for new tires soon, probably Michelin PR2s And some...
