I don't have a lot of track experience (1 CS course) but interested in converting my current 05 FZ6 commuter into a dedicated track bike. I heard it is better to start on a 300 for a track bike and it's a lot cheaper (tires go through faster?) Curious what everyone's thoughts are

Noticed a weird squeaky, siren-like sound at highway speeds near the front of the bike. Thought it was the front bearing so had the replace and still hear it. Any ideas?

I am around 13K miles on my PR4s on my 05 FZ6. Rear looks pretty solid based on wear indicators but I can probably could get a few more K from the front but I think my front bearing needs replacement (started hearing squeak sounds) so debating just doing the front (PR4s are out of stock...

I've noticed recently my 05 FZ won't turn over when hitting the ignition switch (although the dashboard lights up). I usually just flip the engine cut off back and forth and then hit ignition and that usually does the trick but it seems to be getting worse. I know first thought is battery but...

Noticed one of the "caps" on my frame slider is missing. I am the third owner so have no idea what these are. Tried searching on Ebay but no luck. I have 2 pics, one with the blue cover and one without. Where can I order the cover for the other one. Excuse picture quality, dropped my phone...

Took apart one of my front brake calipers thinking I needed to replace pad (still a lot of room left) however when putting it back together felt a little loose. Didn't think anything much (thought after riding it would tighten up...I know I am dumb) but noticed brakes were choppy. So...

Conceptionally, I understand I am supposed to look at the wear indicator and see if it is flushed, but either looking at it from the front or the rear, with it turned in either direction and even lying down with a light I just can't for the life of me tell how worn it is. Which is especially...

I notice the odometer switches to a F and begins counting miles but curious how many miles I actually have before I am out of gas. 05 FZ6 if the year matters.

I filled up my 05 FZ6 with standard gas (lowest) from the same station I've always used and went to work and back (30 miles each way, mostly freeway) and today on the way in I've noticed I am down to maybe a quarter of a tank or less! My memory is a bit foggy since I've started to regularly...

As the title says, I am looking to get a replacement bracket that holds the exhaust for my 05 FZ6 as it is busted.

Not sure when the last time it's been done, my 05 FZ6 has about 33K miles on it and 10K of them are from me. I also don't have the tool and it seems pretty important based on the thread that everyone points to (How to: Replace your sparkplugs in 20 minutes - Sportbikes.net) but curious if it...

Replaced my chain and sprocket on a 05 FZ6 right before winterizing it, noticed a weird whining almost siren (originally that's what I thought it was) upon deacceleration at high speeds. Chain is tightend within range and noticed a bit of it the other day when riding although probably won't get...

Replaced my brake (yay easy) and levers however when I loosened the clutch cable at the rear of the end of the cable, I am now unable to reattach it to the clip? Tried maneuvering best I could but no luck and didn't want to pull too tight. Any ideas? I've attached a picture if that helps...

Hi there, Newish rider (1 year, 10k miles) with a 05 FZ6 as my first bike. I remember reading early on when I was first deciding about getting this bike as my first bike about something keeping it under 7-8K otherwise she gets crazy. It's been a year and I feel comfortable with the bike...

I am pretty new to the whole bike maintenance thing but due for an oil change and my chain needs to be tightened. I bought the oil filter and oil but not exactly sure what other tools I need other than the oil filter socket wrench. I know I need a torque wrench at 17 nM, 43 nM for oil filter...

Any recommendations on where to connect positive wire for heated grips on a 05 FZ6. I am using these grips if it helps: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Z1KQ2M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am the 3rd owner of a 05 FZ6 and trying to extend the season as long as possible here in the NE and thus looking to install heated grips however it seems the allen bolt inside the bar end is stripped and I can't remove it. Tried inserting a torx bit of similar size, hammering it in and using...

Hello, New rider and owner of a 05 FZ6. Things have been great so far but noticed some wiggle (mainly up and down) in my clutch and brake lever. I don't see anything I can tighten on the clutch side, the brake looks like it will fit an allen wrench up top but unsure. Any ideas?
