    Loud "clunk" rattle when going over bumps

    Not from way down below, but seems to come from somewhere near the upper fairing area or directly beneath handlebars. Wonder if anyone ever had this type of clunk? It only makes noise over road bumps, any speed. Bars don't wobble or feel loose when the clunk happens, but I can feel it a...

    What to use to fill scratches on left engine case again?

    I thought I saw a thread somewhere but the search didn't find all the answers. With the rash on my left case cover, is there something hi-temp that can fill it and be sanded? Yeah I "added" to the rash today, accidentally dropped her on this gnarly asphalt on Angeles Crest. Sorry for any...

    How do you hang or lock your helmet?

    What's your preference here? MY 04 fz6 doesn't have a lock or any kind of mechanism and so I rigged up a cable but it's a little funky, I'm wondering if the bike is just a missing this or if anyone has a way they really like.

    What's supposed to be in an 04 toolkit?

    Hey there, can anyone tell me if pliers are supposed to be in a 04 fz6 factory toolkit under the seat? I'm buying a used one cause the bike didn't come with it, and there are no pliers in it. Just checking. Bad news is they're supposed to be in it. Good news is they're not, so the kit is a...

    Fan supposed to come on so quick? (2012 model)

    Greetings Yam pilots. I have an '04 and like how cool it seems to run, but my cousin just got a new '12 model, and it seems that fan just comes on too quick, barely warm if at all after just a few minutes ride. Temp guage goes to around 230 sometimes. Seems too hot, no? Plenty of coolant, no...
