I sent you a Pm too, not sure if there's still a line or not.

Item has been in use for the last 3 months!

I was told I have one more week to get rid of this because it is just taking up space in the garage. I dont have time or the experience to part this out, I'm sure there is something that someone on here might need, and it would be a shame if I had to scrap it.

Back in June my engine blew, thrown rod, I don't have any use for it, and it would be a shame to scrap it as I am sure someone on here is in need of some usable parts, I am hoping to sell the engine whole, but would consider parting it out if reasonable. $300 OBO Read this post for...

Rules look good, I'm still in.

$20-$25 works for me, paid leagues are more fun I think.

I pretty new to the forum, but i'm in.

2006 Fz6 purchased with 9.5k miles -14k miles blown engine (thrown rod) The upside is that I now have a 2006 and half model (07 engine with under 5k miles) no other issues, thankfully

I am interested, pm sent

I hope no one else has the misfortune I did, but if you do have to swap out your engine, or any other intensive project here are a few things I found helpful. My first tip is to stay organized. Also if you are not very knowledgeable of engines, take lots of pictures at every step. This also...

here is a Picture of the exhaust, the nub on the oil pan is in the center of the bike. It pressed right into where the two pipes were welded into one. The 07' exhaust has a central bracket at the bottom, and doesn't join into one pipe until a little further back.

Thanks, I should have posted sooner, I have been busy studying for the MCAT, but I did end up buying the engine, I got it for $750 including shipping I was pleased. The engine broke loose from the pallet during shipping, but didnt appear damaged. I ended up doing the swap this past...

I am very hesitant looking at this because the post claims it "turns over but has unknown running condition" seems like a large investment for something which might not work

But would the 07 fit inside the 06... I know 07-09 is considered second gen right? and also a project of this nature is certainly well beyond my mechanical capabilities especially if there is potential for other issues.

Thanks for the insight, in regards the the engine it didn't show any signs of having been taken apart, but I'm not an expert. The engine always ran smooth and started right up. It still starts right up, well at least 3 of the cylinders :P I would have the space and tools to part it out, but...

Oil was fine, just did a change and filter about 600 miles ago at the start of the season, and I used the recommended yamalube from the dealership.

Hi, I have been reading this forum for the last year, since buying a 2006 FZ6. Now I seeking advice after yesterdays highly unfortunate events. I was cruising down the highway going with the traffic (80mph) when BAMM my engine blew up pushing a rod out of a 2 inch gaping hole in the front of...
