So I did a search here on the subject and although some issues are similar, I just wanted to throw my particulars in there to see if the issue can be diagnosed better or just left alone. Bought my 08 last November with 7260 miles on it and just hit 9000 over the weekend. The only engine/exhaust...

Hello everyone, I owned an FZ6 some years ago and now my wife and i are thinking of buying one again. I found a 2008 S2 model online with 36000km for a great price. I called the owner and he said that the only issue with the bike is the ABS. According to his mechanic, its a false alarm by...

I might have a mild case of tinnitus since I only suffer from the buzzing and ringing for 10 - 12 hours. Every time I wake up, the music of buzzing and ringing in my head disappear. The problem is that I ride my bike daily so I experience this every time. My exhaust pipes aren't even that loud...

Hey guys looking for advice on an 2006 fz6 with 13500 kms. Just purchased bike 2 weeks ago and i notice a slight howling noise that starts at 70 km/h and gets loudest at 78-80 km/h and starts to quiet up at about 85 km/h but do i still hear it at 100km/h as well. Doesn't matter what gear i am in...

it all started the beginning of the season. I got the tarp off my bike and did some light maintenance, and noticed the oil was quite low. I had a quart and a half lying around so i topped up, thinking nothing of it, checked pressures and everything seemed to be fine, rode it about 50 miles and...

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...

So my FZ has had leaking fork seals for over a year. I don't ride it much so I don't want to put in any money on a bike that isn't even worth $1,000. But today, I was riding and my steering locked up. I could not press or turn the handlebars to the right. Could it be from no fork oil on one...

On mobile, bear with me! So, 06 fz6 with about 17k miles or so. So, this spring I started having issues with starting. Bike runs fine once going, and doesnt have an issue restarting. Only happens afyer sitting at least a couple hours. What happens is I have to crank the bike either more than...

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this forum and just picked up a 2007 fz6 a couple of weeks back. She's a bit rough around the edges hence the cheap price (900$). It's a project bike to do some touring this summer around Ireland. Anyway, the first issue I had with it was the rectifier. The...

Started up for my morning ride today uneventfully. Met my buddy for coffee, went to start up and starter motor spins freely without the sprag clutch engaging. Bump started the bike and rode another 90 minutes or so. Got home, shut down, hit the starter, bike started right up. Three times...

Hi All, I got the Leo Vince installed installed about a year ago and right away at the dealer I immediately had them do the CO adjustment mod and had them set both co values to 24 however the bike was running way to rich and I lowered it to 14. I think the bike runs good, but I feel at low RPM...

Hi guys, I've had my FZ6N for a couple of months now and decided to check the full range of the tank before it went to reserve. So I've done 160 miles and still the last bit of the gauge wont blink to indicate reserve. And then as I am driving in the middle of London the bike loses power...

Hello guys, There are numerous threads about engine vibration on this forum, I went through them and unfortunately I could not find a solution. So, to start off, I've recently bought an FZ6 S2 2008 (American version) that had only 2000 km on the odometer (the mileage is real). For the...

So I slid my bike 2 years ago and fixed the scratches on the fairings pretty good as they are only noticeable when you get up and personal. But I am now looking to get new front fairings for the bike but cant seem to find a good place to purchace them other then yamaha. Ive tried eba but cant...

i have fz6 s1 2007 i read that s1 models deos not have o2 sensor so how come my bike has it?

L3FTY Hi and welcome to the 4'uhm Mr L3fty. I am sharing this here vs a PM as I think others will benefit from your methods and perhaps the outcome of this process. That said I also find it unlikely 8 different injectors leak so we are on the same page. What I want to question is the...

Hey folks, I guess its always been there since I got bike, quick question, when my bike is idling (fz6 2006) there is a very faint ringing very faint coming from the engine I think. I was just out on a ride there so thought I'd post this an see if anyone ever heard this from their bike. There...

Hi all, I bought the R6 forks and brakes from Tom here on the forum. They came with R6 calipers, axle and shims. The forks were just rebuilt with new seals and had 1kg springs installed, which are perfect for my fat self (220lbs). I then spent over a month drooling over the parts because...

I've had around fifteen motorcycles thru the years. Of those, two still tug at my heart more than the rest... My second street bike, a 1985 Yamaha RZ350. The yellow/black/white Kenny Roberts edition, complete with the full Toomey kit. The sound of a piped two stroke twin is music to my ears...
