    07 FZ6 Rear indicators

    Hi All, In the never ending saga that is the aftermarket parts on my FZ6, the rear, cheap, badly wired indicators have given up...again. Now these are the last after market electrical part on my bike - the others having been all removed. So the question is, how hard is it to replace the...

    Rear Brake lever clicks when engaged

    Hi all, I noticed something on my way home from work today and that was a mechanical click when engaging the rear brake. After a bit of fiddling around when I got home it sounds like it is coming from near the lever, rather than back at the caliper itself. The brake seems to work...

    Rear shock adjustment - how?

    Hi All, So I am aware of the general principle, 1-7 on the rear shock, 1 being softest and 7 being hardest. I also have the tools to do it (I think) - having bought an R6 stock toolkit. So the problem I have is I cant actually get the tool in position to turn the "wheel" (for lack of a...

    I recently bought and fit an airblade screen to my fz6, however it came with a long piece of rubber tubing that I can't for the life of me work out what it is for! Have I made a horrible mistake by not fitting it? What is it for? Thanks, Si

    Riding Position

    Hi All, Until previously, I have ridden sports bikes, and not had any kind of issue with wind buffeting due to the riding position. Having now moved to the FZ6 and the more upright position, everything is great at about 50mph or below. At 50+ mps, and especially at motorway speeds of 70...

    Front brake "hissing"

    Hi Guys, Another newbie bike rider questions (I hope). I have had my fz6 about a month now, and im not sure if I just never noticed it before but my front brake makes what can only be described as a hissing noise when applied over about 30 mph. Is this normal (i.e. the pad wearing...

    Pazzo lever condition

    Hi, Over this week I purchased a pair of Pazzo levers, one brand new (yet to arrive), and one second hand (off a power seller on ebay). The clutch (Second hand) arrived today and I am a bit disappointed with the condition - considering I was told "great condition". I have also owned pazzo...

    Electrical Issues

    Hi All, Unfortunately my first post here has to be one asking for some advice :( 3 Weeks ago I bought a 2007 FZ6 S2, and until yesterday it ran like a charm and I loved every second. Yesterday morning, after sitting for about 30 hours, I turn the key and...nothing, no electrics at all. So...
