Hello hello! I'm concerned that my rear tire valve is not ok, even though the mechanic has assured me it is. Story here is that my rear tire was leaking, and neither I nor the mechanic (Lane's Yamaha, who I've always regarded highly) could find the leak. Very slow leak, like 1psi every...

So I noticed a leak on my front forks and used a Sealmate replica (cutout from a yogurt container) and cleaned out the seals. I believe that it was a success because after pumping the suspension (probably 45 times total) there was no more oil on the forks. Hooray! Except.. Problem: During the...

I've looked through the forum, and I know that it's very advised to change your brake fluids, because of the great difference it makes, etc. I bought my 06' at 11,000 miles, 4 years ago, and the brake fluid was a yellow/amber color. Now the bike has 27,000 miles on it, and the brake fluid is...

Just out the door to work not a lot of time to research this right now, wondering if anybody out there has some advice... I need to get new sprockets and a new chain put on the FZ6, they have about 22,000 miles on them, and now the chain has a major kink in it, which wobbles like crazy, figured...

Deciding weather or not it's worth it to try and sell my bike, hard times =(. I would just like to know a general consensus of what you all think you would pay for it. It's a 2006 fz6, blue, with some minor dings from a previous owner (i don't know the story here). Close to 20,000 miles (10,000...

So I've had the bridgestone bt016's for a bout a year now, and I've put almost 9,000 miles on them. Great up until recently, when the front tire started losing air. Slowly at first, I'd have to fill it maybe once every two weeks, (it would drop 8-10 psi) and now I filled it up yesterday to 33psi...

So, I'm admidst a lot of work to the FZ, and now I'm on to the brakes... Basically I have no idea what I'm looking at, up till now I've had a dealer do everything for me and am now taking it upon myself to do it, but I'm stuck. I took some pictures hopefully you can see better than I can. First...

Hey all, so I'm planning a trip, bout 450 miles each way, staying for a few days. I've never done anything this long on an FZ6 before, so if anyone has any good touring advice I'd really appreciate it. I've got about 1,000 miles on my tires, and I'm getting a overall checkup for the 17,000 mile...

I'm hoping I'm the only one dumb enough to make this kind of mistake, but I figured I'd share my epic failure in hopes that it saves some other poor soul from making the same mistake. So I was cleaning up my bike last Wednesday, and I had just started to clean off the chain with some...
