back

So, what would cause the engine to completely cut out when riding? Riding on interstate at about 80 and the engine just died like fuel was either cut off, or the ignition turned off. Power was fine till then, and it came back. I wasnt able to replicate it. So I am not sure what check out. Any...

email me [email protected] Dramatically improved the comfort on my FZ6. These are brand new, never been installed (they were a second set I had). $30 shipped. These risers are placed between the factory bar clamps and will raise the handlebars 1" upward and 1.25" backward while retaining...

I can’t tell you all how great it is to have my butt back on the seat of an fz! I sold my 2007 quite some time ago, and experienced immediate sellers remorse as the happy new owner rode it away. At that moment I would have gladly given him $200 more than he paid to get it back! It took years...

So I have an 08 FZ6 with a brand new/new (I'll explain below) Corbin seat and after a six hour ride through God's country in the Smoky Mountains (Cherohala Skyway), not only was my crotch numb, but upper back between the shoulder blades just below the top of my spine was an 8/10 on the pain...

I am quite tall and the bike was lowered. What is the technique used to lower the rear suspension? I want to remove whatever it is. Am I likely to need an original part, or is the lowering link setup just an add-on that can be removed and put back to stock without buying some original part that...

Where to begin? I won't lead the witness but if you know who the subject line refers too and for example, your ISP speed sucks and you by chance used a utility to check your speed and found it was ahhhhhh, lets say 70 to 80% lower than what you PAY FOR..... Keep reading! - ya, I swear there...

During mid season I noticed my brake light was stuck on. The first thing I did was disconnect the front switch and used the back brake to see if it was the front switch and via versa for the back, nothing. The brake light continued to stay on. I just purchase a new taillight and i plugged it in...

I'm 5 7' and have to lean slightly forward to reach the bars. It's never put an ache in my back but after seeing everyone compliment the comfort after installing risers I decided to try a pair. At around 30 bucks I didn't have much to lose. The risers I purchased are 30mm up/20mm back. I'm...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been active on here. I've been checking in but not posting much. A lot of things have been happening in my life, so here's an update. First, I'm a GRANDFATHER!!! My son Ryan and his wife :) had a daughter, Hannah, in September. They live in NJ, not...

I saw the turn signal help thread but didnt want to hijack it with mine as my problem is kinda the same but different. The turn signals on the right side work both front and back but the left side nothing front and back but the front left one lights up when I start the bike. running lights work...

Hello all, I wanted to introduce myself - I just picked up a wrecked 2006 FZ6 for $400 from a guy who was moving later that day. It's been a loooong time since I rode. Back in college I used to run around on a yzf600r, and tracked a 600rr and r1 - very much looking forward to relearning and...

Hi All, So I've had my FZ6 for close to 3 years now. One thing I have still been unable to do is shift smoothly with a passenger on back. Especially going from 1st-2nd I just expect a wack in the back of the head. I know that the clutch grab point on these bikes is in a terrible spot, but when...

Hi guys yesterday I noticed the bike was running a little different to normal, mainly it seemed "grumbly" so thought I would put the carb tune on and check the throttle body balance. When I attached it and started the engine up all but one of the gauges were working and balanced with one...

Wow what a special one this was! This was our 1st time going to Maine so we wanted to make the most of it. We left at 8am Saturday and rode 5 hours straight to get to Portland. Consumed copious quantities of lobster rolls. Checked into our hotel and then uber'd back to town center for some...

Bought a while back from IAMJUSTIFYD here on the forums. Original thread and photos here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/bikes-parts-for-sale/58120-shad-seat.html This seat is softer than stock and encourages you to sit farther back. Unfortunately I like to sit more forward and want...

Hello everyone! I'd like to thank anyone that helps out in advance. I've read through way posts, and cant seem to find anything beneficial. So, I recently purchased a 2006 FZ6 with about 20,000 miles on it. It also has a PC3, two brothers exhaust, and K&N filter. Ever since I bought it a few...

During this morning's 60 mile rural ride I had a deer cross in front of me. It's happened before, but first of the season. Not too close, but close enough to perk up and slow. I nearly rolled back on, but then remembered: where there's one, there's often more. No more Bambis fortunately...

Just bought an 05 FZ6 yesterday. Today it was about 60 degrees and I was out riding on the highway maintaining about 85-95 mph for a little while. I then got off the hwy and had a relaxed ride back to my house thru the city (about 5-10 mins). When I got home, I shut the bike off (with the kill...

All, I am preparing to move back to the US this summer. Thinking of selling my US spec 2008 FZ6 here in the Netherlands before I move back to the US. Bike is clean, only 12,000 miles on it. I have not gotten to ride it as much as I wanted while living here in Netherlands...
