Old speedometer on 2005 fz6. I made the mistake of pressing to hard on it to clean, and now its hard to see the revs, read the mileage, still totally possible , but less so when moving. Looking for a cheap fix. Sure I could buy a full speedo replacement via ebay, but that comes with its own...

I had an interesting traffic situation. I was exiting a corner gas station and needed to make an immediate left at the intersection, so I drove mostly perpendicular through stopped traffic and made it to the left hand turn lane. There was perfect visibility all the cars were stopped. Midway...

worried i may have head gasket leak. a bit back i was low on coolant, so decided to change the radiator cap which looked like the seals had gone (OEM). I changed it to an after market 1.6 bar high pressure cap. Then a bit later, my coolant reservoir developed cracks, I replaced the reservoir...

so I took bike to shop to get new rear tire, and they tightened the chain too tight, but I know the procedure and its hasn't been too big of an issue, so I decided to fix at home. Here is the issue: I have an impact wrench 425 ft-lbs of force, when I try to undo the axle bolt, it spins, so I...

recent relevant service: replaced radiator cap with 1.6 bar aftermarket cap March 2017 radiator coolant flush 3 weeks ago I was doing an oil change and it went pretty normally, but after inspecting my bike i noticed a small puddle of coolant under the bike near the kick stand (left...

I changed my spark plugs and as part of that process (to make access easier) I removed the battery, battery cage, and the airbox. After putting the airbox back on it just doesn't look right, and can't quite tell if its on correctly. I feel like its sitting on top but not actually clamped around...

So, I did a brake flush today. But I think I may have messed it up ? I attached the speed bleeding kit to the speed bleeder valve on my front right brake and then opened the valve, and pressed the front brake to pump fluid through the system. I pumped until the reservoir was low then I topped...

Can you use a 2004-2006 ECU on a 2007+ fz6 ? are they compatible? what are the consequences ?

Today I replaced my kill switch / starter button assembly from a used replacement found on eBay (just the two switches in black plastic assembly without throttle portion). The replacement part was from a 2013 FZ6R. I was worried it might not be compatible although it looked identical, it was...

Some questions about the attached diagram, it is for 2005 Fuel Pump circuitry in FZ6: 1) What do the arrows indicate in this diagram? 2) What is the "main switch" (3)? 3) for the Engine Stop Switch (5) what is that component ? 4) What is component 8 doing ? It looks like a relay but is the...

I replaced my battery on fz6 today. I had a few questions: While in diag mode the old battery registered 11.4 and the new battery registers 12.0. But when I put a voltmeter directly to the batteries themselves they measured 12.4 and 13.2. 1)Is the d09 sensor in diag known to be...

I feel like I have a wierd shifting technique, although it feels quite natural while I do it. I pretty much always do clutch upshifting with no clutch downshifting. The clutch engaged upshifting I feel I do because of the lack of torque I like to rev the gas alot and at higher rpms it is...

Mainly having starting issues with my motorcycle. It won't turn over sometimes (intermittent issue) and displays Fault 19. While cranking battery seems strong. It also has cut out while riding, but that has only happened twice (on same day, haven't seen that very often). I believe the dash...

I have a leak at the end of the hose indicated in the attached pictures. What happens is when I start the bike it drips for a minute or so, then I imagine the heat causes expansion and the leak seals itself when the bike is hot. The leak drips out brownish water, so I fear there may be some...
