Oh brilliant :) no it was worn through the upper end near the lever ill as a picture of that tomorrow when i get it cleaned up. i may start doing the paper trick also as when installing it today i noticed that the casing as a small hole in the silver bend. that is present on both the new and...

Right, all done. im pretty sure it was installed incorrectly last time as the lower part of the cable was laying on its side under all the wiring, maybe this caused undo stress? not sure. anyway ive installed it how i think its suppose to go, ie the long silver metallic part now runs under...

Hi everyone thank you all for your input its interesting as this is now the 3rd cable the bike had had to my knowlange (All OEM) I have been lubing the cable almost every month with Yamalube 10w-40 with a hydraulic oilier. it never seems to be free moving for more than a few days, i think this...

Hi Everyone While riding to work the other day the clutch lever got stuck when i pulled it in to change gears, i managed to nurse it home. I originally thought this was due to lack of cable lube, so today i went to lube it and discovered that the cable had actually sawed its way through...

Hi everyone unfortunately I crashed into a KIA on Friday and smashed my upper fairing and main beam headlight !:( I phoned the dealers and there asking £273 for a replacement. If anyone out there has a used spare from going naked or something like that please let me know thanks everyone...

Hi all, a quick update. I just finished fitting the calipers that I bought online and its all gone to plan there sweet as you like. thanks to all the helped :)

yeah thats why i decided to go ahead and get these instead as i know they will fit. 04 - 08 2004 - 2008 YAMAHA FZ6 FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS W/ LINES & PADS FZ61 | eBay

I was going to but decided to go for new calipers instead as the ones i bought are pretty much new.

As they were from the USA and i'm here in the UK I want it to be as easy as possible. so i just bought a set of 2004-2008 calipers with pads and lines that are exactly the same as mine, and they only have 3000 miles on them so there new pretty much, ill take a look at the seals and might...

The part numbers for the calipers seem to match which is good, but the 2011 set seem to have two lines running into one caliper whereas the 04 calipers just have a line each?

I just found these online does anyone know if they would fit a 2004 bike? 2011 FZ6 FZ-6 FZ 6 Front Brake Calipers | eBay thanks guys

Thanks for the help people :) i'm going to go to garage next weekend and going to ask them to have a look ill let you guys know what happens .

They were my first thought but I have no idea how to use them so i havent gone down that route, there a dam sight cheaper then a caliper set !

The ones on ebay look Good I've mailed the seller asking if they come with the slider pins/brackets as ill need the pins and the brackets wouldn't be a bad shout. I'm not actually sure if the calipers are repairable, the issue is the the threads in the caliper are stripped meaning the slide...

Hi thanks for the reply, my bike is a 53 plate so i think anything from 2003 - 2006 should fit. i'll have a look at some breakers near me i'm sure they will have some thanks

If anyone in the UK has or knows of a pair of Front Calipers that will fit a 2004 FZ6 could you let me know as mine are damaged. I have found some online but there about 300 quid each side. thanks guys

Thanks for the reply :) yes the cam does look like that now is i have removed the restriction plate it was pretty simple just two screws holding the plate there. yeah I saw that the Gov were changing the Law and it looked like a right ball ache so i decided to just get it done and im very...

Hi all! Hopefully i have started this post in the right place, I have had a little search around the forum but no success. I have been on an A2 licence for over two years so now i have a full unrestricted UK motorcycle Licence. I have had my 2004 FZ6 for 2 years with a 33bhp...

Hi everyone, finally got the bike sorted at long last!! the relay came today and it worked a treat, started right up. the only issue is the neutral light still does not come on, i think i have found the cause it looks like the switch has packed up as the plunger is very stiff and is...
