    Time to leave the FZ fold

    After 18 months of FZ ownership I've decided to scratch that Triumph itch and bought myself a Street Triple so that means that for one lucky person they get to own my lovely FZ6. Before I put it up for sale in the usual places I thought I'd put it on here first in case anyone was interested...

    Indicators not working

    Yesterday all of my indicators stopped working. They don't work when I indicate or use the hazards. Initially I thought it was the fuse so I checked that and it's ok. Then I thought it was the relay so I've replaced that and still nothing. Weird thing is that they still flash when I...

    FZ6 Light Steering

    Now it might be just me but my 2005 FZ6 seems to have overly light/twitchy steering. It's definitely much lighter than any other bike I've ever rode. For example, if I'm riding at say 20mph and turn the bars a bit, they seem to want to turn right to lock by themselves and I almost have to...

    Changing top yoke

    My top yoke is a bit dirty and scratched so I bought a new one on eBay for a decent price. From what I can see it just looks like there's 2 bolts to slacken off then replace with new yoke and retighten. Is that it? Anything to watch out for?

    Clutch cable adjustment tips please

    Hi all After fitting my 2wheels levers I found that the bite was quite far out so I adjusted the cable (via the adjuster dial) which made the bite much closer how I like it but now the lever seems to be loose (ie it doesn't spring back out properly) If I adjust the adjuster back so that...

    Tinted rear light

    Just wondering if anyone has bought this kit from eBay? eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace What's the quality like? I don't want something that doesn't fit and has gaps around the edges. I was just thinking of using a regular tail bulb (but red obviously - that won't be a problem will it?)

    Hazard lights - flash once then stop

    If I press my hazard button all 4 indicators flash once then simply stop. If I then try to use the indicators nothing happens at all. Similar thing happens occasionally when I indicate. I could indicate left and suddenly the indicators stop working, then if I then try to indicate again I...

    Show me your indicators/turn signals/blinkers/whatever you call them

    Just bought an FZ6 and the previous owner fitted some really cheap nasty rear indicators I'm thinking of replacing the whole lot with something a bit better looking however many LED indicators I've seen don't appear to be as bright as standard bulbs. Does anyone know of any decent...

    Seat cover replacement

    The previous owner had the following seat fitted by http://www.tonyarcher.co.uk I'm not a huge fan to be honest, would prefer something a bit more understated. Can I just get a new cover or does it look like the seat has been shaped differently and will therefore need replacing with a...

    Engine cover replacement

    The previous owner unfortunately laid the bike down on his gravel driveway which has scratched the engine cover When I bought the bike he gave me a brand new cover to replace it. Is it just a matter of getting an allen key, removing the old one and putting the new one in place or do I...

    Idle speed - Should I increase it?

    Picked up my 2005 FZ6 last night and am really enjoying it so far. Been reading various threads and apparently the idle should be 1250-1350 however mine is idling at just over 1000. It seems to start fine and doesn't stutter or anything so would there be any benefit in increasing the idle...
