Im in the process of adjusting my valves; I put the new shims in and started to put the cams shafts back on Now when I initially took the cams off, I turned the crank a little more past the "T" to have room to undo the remaining 2 sprocket bolts. When I was reassembling I was having trouble...

Im checking my valves this weekend and got a new gasket for the head is there a specific type of sealant or glue I use to set this into the head before I put the head back onto the motor? Should I put a trace of engine oil on the gasket before setting it on the motor? thanks!

I was foolish and didn't check my rear pads in a long time and they grinded down to nothing and I scoured the rotor pretty bad. On top of that its out of spec for thickness I can't find alot of info on the forum or alot of detail in the service manual about replacing the rear rotor; I guess...

Looks like this part has been discontinued. Im replacing the boots that go over the throttle bodies. The two outside ones are available still(?) but the inside ones are not. I found one on ebay, I just need one more... I would gladly take a used one in good condition. Mine have been glued onto...

My clutch cable frayed out and is hanging on by a thread. Today i was replacing it, I took off the airbox and noticed this in the third hose (hose farthest to the right). I dont remember seeing it last time I took it apart but Im also not sure. What is it exactly? Also what does this third hose...

Recently I’ve been riding and suddenly without warning the engine just dies. Sometimes it seems to happen rapidly almost unoticeably and doesnt require me to restart. Started about 3 days ago and its been getting worse. Now it will just die randomly while riding, ill pull the clutch in quickly...

My FZ6 was hit from the clutch side while parked and knocked over. Theres really no cosmetic damage other than the busted right blinker. It looks like the right side of handle bar took all the impact, you can see its bent in the photo. I ordered a new handle bar and I thought maybe this was all...

Adjusted the slack on my chain and was setting the rear wheel alignment; I read through the thread on the string method and got it as accurate as I could without an assistant I read a couple other threads mentioning that you can measure on both sides of the swingarm and set the measurements...

Happy thanksgiving! I have a 2004 FZ6 with 29k miles: just recently, the bike started stalling at low speeds. Most noticeably it happens when approaching a stop and I pull the clutch in at lower speeds, however it has happened also while at 25-30 mph and slowing down. Also on occassion when...

this morning i hop on the bike, turn key to ON, right when i went to fire it up it lost all power. i cant remember the sequence of events, whether it was my flipping the kill switch or pressing the starter that did it. happened instantaneously and i thought something shorted turned ignition off...

I have a 2004 FZ6 w/ 25K miles that I purchased in April Maybe 2-3 weeks ago I started to notice a loud whining noise which is constant, and I am 99.7% sure its the fuel pump. It has that distinct high-pitched whine only a fuel pump can make. That in of itself seemed like no big deal. Maybe a...

I took the rear brake caliper off today to look at the pads and clean things out. First question is that one pad was significantly more worn than the other; maybe 1-2 quarters thickness worth. I can’t remember the order of the pads, but will the pad resting on the piston wear quicker than the...

I have a 2004 FZ6, I just got the bike April 1st and it was stolen this past Monday and just (fortunately) recovered. There was no damage, but I tried to start it and it wouldn't start so I had it towed to my place and thought I would try to get it up and running. The bike doesn't turn on...
