Thanks. I found the issue. Color me stupid. Fuses were the first thing I checked back in September when I realized I had the problem. I checked the fuse id'ed as TAIL and one labeled as BACKUP. Both were fine. So I moved on to checking wires, switches, etc. No joy there. After...

Thanks for the info. I think I got a lot of diagnosing ahead of me.

Hope someone here can help me with this issue. I will try to make this as short as possible. All the tail lights come on when I turn on my motorcycle, signal lights work fine as well. However, when I pull the hand brake or use the foot brake, the tail light does not brighten, it stays low, as...

Not sure there is a fix for that outside of applying less upward pressure. Even now, after years of doing it this way, I will prematurely go into 2nd. No big deal since that was the plan anyway. As for the lube not coming out the other end, I've always lubed both ends to ensure complete...

Some time ago I believe this same issue came up and someone stated that if you preload (putting slight upward pressure on the gear shifter BEFORE pulling in the clutch) the clutch, it will reduce that loud clunk. I found that this technique makes a huge difference. The 1st to 2nd gear clunk...

I'm almost at 46,000 miles. Had to get the the steering head bearings replaced last month along with some new tires. Might start riding to work (64 miles round trip) to ease up on the mileage on my car and the amount of gas I'm buying.

Damn, this is an immediate reminder to be very, very cognizant of your line when entering blind turns.

YES! All The Gear, All The Time. I now never ride without it. The one time I went down (lowside) I had everything on except my jacket. BIG MISTAKE, I've got a shoulder and forearm with scars to show my stupidity. Only other scar was on my left knee which came from me hitting the fairing...

I use Motul 7100 4T 20W-50.

If I am changing gears, I am using the clutch, no ifs, no ands, no buts. I tried not using it a few times and for me, it just didn't feel right.

Hello to my FZ-6 Family, Man, it's been awhile since I've been on this Forum. I've been slipping, well, finally the weather is about the change and riding will once again be at the forefront. Each year I tell myself I'm going to ride more and I always miss that mark. How many of you feel...

My horn is so quiet, I think that would be a smart upgrade. I know I can barely hear it so that means most others will not hear it all at. My big mx issues now is changing the brake fluid, and getting values checked. This was supposed to be a reply but somehow I screwed it up.

Greetings FZ6 Family, Just wanted to kick the riding season off (I know some ride year round) with somethings you may already know. 1. It may have been awhile since riding, get some practice time in, it will build your confidence 2. BOLO: Be on the Look Out: Remember, cars are not...

Some people consider 600's as being powerful, some do not. It really depends on who you talk to, what they ride, and how long they have been riding. Ask someone that's been riding an 1100 and see what they say about a 600. I've heard people go as far to say 600's are starter bikes while...

Some new riders tend to over throttle. The post is just a reminder to ease into the season. I see the point did not get across.

No. I'm saying that some people DO NOT respect the power of our FZ6.

It's that time. How do you prepare?

As much as I love the FZ-6, I am craving an FZ-1. Unfortunately, we are looking at buying a house and therefore all purchases are on hold. Paying bills suck. I want a new motorcycle but even after getting the house, my motorcycle wish may not come true. We live in Northern Virginia and...

Ok Family, Spring is here and it's time to RIDE. For all you new riders new to the FZ6, RESPECT THE THROTTLE!! This holds true for any motorcycle you get but believe me, this may be a 600cc bike but it has plenty of power to get even seasoned riders in a bit of trouble. Everyone, lets...

I got the stock mirrors. They are not perfect but minor adjustments leaning one way or the other and seating position allows me to see what I need to see.
