    tps diagnostic problem.

    I'll play around tomorrow then. Thank you very much. My idle speed jumps from about 1180 to 1260. Is this normal or should it stay on the same number? Probably a silly question I know.:D

    tps diagnostic problem.

    Hi, after doing the tps test. I never got the correct reading after dlag. Would anyone know why? The only other symbol I got was Co. Also does anyone know where online I can get a free vin number check to see if my 04 model went in for tps recall. Sorry for repost and thanks in advance.

    old michelin pilot roads?

    Thanks for all replies. When I bought the bike t ha pilot 2s on it. The guy in the shop told me the new tyres would be the same as what I had. When I got the bike home and looked online I realized they were orrigional pilots. I don't think they were trying to be dishonest. Well they...

    valve clearence?

    I've just paid £430 for a new chain and sprocket and new tires. In the manual it says to check/adjust valve clearence at 25, 000 miles. I'm at 28, 000. Is it very important or can it wait a while? I have no friend who know anything about bikes. And although good, I'm sure my local...

    clutch problem.

    The noise is still there. It cant be the chain and sprocket because i have realized the noise only happens after a gear change. If it was the chain, then the noise would happen while accelerating regardless of gear change. Perhaps it's nothing to worry about. The bike is 8 years old. I'm...

    clutch problem.

    The bikes done 25,000 miles. Thanks for quick reply. I've just done what you suggested and you were right, there was a load of crud around the front sprocket. Not on the sprocket itself, but around it and on the panel i took off (3 allen bolts). The chain was cleaned and lubed...

    clutch problem.

    I only bought my 2004 fz6 3 days ago and i love it. However today i noticed a strange noise. When i engage the clutch, change gear and then accelerate, just as the bike speeds up there is a clunky noise. Can anyone shed any light on what the noise is? It's coming from the left hand...

    immobilizer

    I have just bought a 2004 fz6. I love it. I want to find lower pegs to fit the bike but all the ones i've found so far cost too much. Any ideas? Anyway i realized the bike has an inbuilt immobilizer. Can someone explain how this works? i have the red key, not that i understand what this...
