    R1150gs

    Hi folks, Anyone here has/had the pleasure of owning this bike or R1100GS? I know you can do a lot of touring on FZ6 and that for dirt the GS are considered too heavy but I've brainwashed myself from reading advrider and horizonsunlimited that I need this bike no matter what. For long range...

    Time to show her naked

    I've made some pictures of my naked conversion, what can I say, looks better in person! Headlight I've bought on ebay, it's from a MT03, I was contemplating between buell xb12 and old round honda cb style headlamp but finally decided I want modern, semi-OEM look. My father restores old...

    Can't stop thinking about a liter bike

    Ok, so truth be told, FZ6 is my first bike, (I've been riding it since this spring), I've been riding scooters for 5 years before (yamaha aerox 50cc 1 season and honda pantheon 125cc remaining ones). I bought the FZ6 because I took my licence on it 4 years ago and of course due to the...

    Ticking/sewing machine noise

    Hi, After returning home from work I've noticed a strange sound, I'm not sure if it was there before but I certainly didn't pay attention to it if it was. It's sort of a sewing machine sound. I've checked my valve clearances 200 miles ago and didn't notice anything wrong with the cam...

    Broke clutch level sensor pin

    While fitting the2wheels levers I accidentally broke the pin of the clutch lever sensor, should I be worried or the only downside will be not being able to start in gear + clutch (a bad habit to have anyway IMO)? I assume that's the only thing this is there for. EDIT: Okay, it starts in gear...

    So I've decided to check my tire for nails...

    So I'm working on my rear brake and randomly decide to check the tire for nails or other damage - pull up a lamp, slowly spin the wheel inspecting every inch. Alright, there's an interesting brown/rusty circle 2mm wide, I scratch it with a screwdriver - indeed it's metal. Work the head out a bit...

    Howto: accurate and quick wheel alignment for 04-06 models

    I've first posted this method here and it was confirmed as accurate using the string method by another member in this post. Wheel alignment using alignment marks on the swingarm is error prone as they often mud up and are too spaced out for an accurate alignment. Most members use the so...

    Headlight doesn't work

    I've noticed my headlight doesn't work - no low/high beam, running light works though. With ignition ON, I've checked the 3 pin connector coming to the bulb and there's no voltage in there. The manual states to check the wiring from bulb to dimmer switch, the dimmer switch itself and headlight...

    Valve clearance check

    THIS IS A CHECK GUIDE, NO ADJUSTMENT WILL BE DONE Yamaha recommends doing valve check and adjustment if needed every 40 000 km, or 24 000 miles. Mine has nearly 29k miles, I can tell valve clearances were not yet checked on it. Our bikes have inline, liquid cooled, 4 cylinder engines with 4...

    Unknown loose connector

    Hi, I have a connector loose with seemingly no female connector for it to be plugged in. It's on the left side of the back fairing, with 4 black/green wires coming to it. Based on the wiring diagram looks like it should have something to do with front high/low beams. Now, I did have MT-03...

    Throttle body removal

    I've loosened the 4 clamp screws under TBs to the point I can feel the clamps are loose, but TBs won't budge. I'm using enough force to rock the bike, but no go - I don't want to break anything. Is there something else holding the thing besides these 4 clamps?

    PC3 USB rewiring for FZ6

    Hi guys, Anyone got a PC3 from a different bike and rewired / made custom connectors for FZ6? If so, could you please post pictures of your assembly, describe the process please? From what I gather, the units are all the same, the difference in PC3 models comes with the connectors only, and...

    04 FZ6 front fender

    Hi guys, I've read that front fender for fz6 is "universal", i.e. I can fit one from another bike. Is this true or do I need to search for FZ6 specific one? By the way, where can I get yamaha parts mapped out with their numbers online? Sort of like realoem.com for BMW.
