well, sorry for confusion , but what I meant is when I screw them in clockwise the vacuum indicator is going up on my Carbtune Pro ( I set it to spec at 218mmHG or so);
so I am guessing at some point the screw will be in all the way;
Of course I still should be able to sync them to the same...
well, got my carbtune today; spend some time working with synchronizing screws and idle speed; revved it to 4000rpm and checked/slightly adjusted the sync at 4k as well; rechecked at idle and readjusted; pretty much set them as close to spec at idle (218mmHG) and within 10mmHG or so at...
thanks Jez.
My rpms are very stable though, and I have not had electrical problems yet;
I wil check out that area though behind the left cover to see if anything is different ( I used that side to add the switch 'ignition on' for my sound system amp through license plate light);
yes, as bike warms up my temp gauge shows more bars; ( in city with traffic and me not splitting lanes, the temp can go high and then fan kicks in, so I think coolant/engine temp. indicator is working);
I tried to wait till those 2 blocks of temp go solid as well;
usually I wait about 1-2 mins...
Is CO adjustable on california models? I thought it is disabled in the diag mode, unless I am missing something.
I will do the TB sync again this weekend to see if that helps.
well, I ride it year round, at least 1-2 times a week, even in rain;
I used seafoam to let it clean the fuel system, and I wil use it again this weekend to see if any even slight change;
then of course will check and examine the fuel tank , pump, fuel filter( got Haynes manual -- best...
thanks, I wil try to see who does it in the bay area for reasonable amount since performancewise I was fine without any PC3 or remapping before this current issue. ( I use bike as a primary transportation lately and do not care about too much power, just want it to breath naturally)
I do not have the access to dyno; the thing is that it used to run normal and now it is ill;
what will dyno test show? (mapping problem?, fuel delivery issue?)
does anyone know/have/trust an experienced mechanic in bay area who will test ride the bike ? ( I do not think I wanna take it to K&C engineering or dealer for that)
I have original sprocket, all stock actually, except the sound system and cruise control;
I think it is air/fuel related but I may be wrong of course;
I will try the battery disconnect to reset ECU, etc.
Plus I ordered carbtune from UK and will recheck the throttle body sync; ( the last...
thanks for your fast reply;
chain is rust free and sprockets are good too; it is garaged;
yes fuel economy is low, not sure way, been like this since day 1;
I ride in city a lot too, though, but still keep the bike under 4-5k rpm in 3rd 4th gears mostly;
I have givi top case and ride...
I have been a pretty happy owner of 2005 fz6 until 6 months ago;
the bike was great till about 7000 miles -- lots of power , no buzz at highway speeds, no handlebar vibrations whatsoever;
for the last 2500 miles it is been very dissapointing; In fact I am on the edge of selling it;
It...
thanks Rescuer;
I will go over the handle bar measuring again and tel the other carrier about them paying for the estimate;
did you have frame sliders by the way? ( i think my left one is too short and would not have avoided the engine side cover damage if bike had fallen on the left side)
well Vegasrider, it was a groccery store parking lot, so no dedicated bike spaces are available there; but that would be a lesson for me anyway to stay away from dark areas if I park in the evening;
thanks
yes,
a lady backed up into it parking at 6:30pm;
it was dark and I guess she did not see it in her rear view mirror when she started parking;
the funny thing is that I could not find the point of contact where she touched it with her car, so i guess the impact was low but enough to push it...
thanks guys for the replies;
I just set the bike on a flat surface ( checked with carpenter's level);
then I set the handlebar level ( again with carpenter's level);
then I measured the distance from the ground to the bar ends, and the right side is about 1/8" to 1/4" lower than the left...
Hi,
my fz6 was knocked over last night in a parking lot while on a center stand;
it fell on right side;
fortunately, I had frame sliders, so not much visual damage;
as far as I can see:
the handlebar end;
the right footpeg bottom scraper;
the mirror housing - tiny scratch;
the...
