This is what happens when you use a cheap torque wrench: In case you can't tell, that is a valve cover bolt stripped off deep inside. My torque wrench didn't click, and I wasn't intelligent enough to stop tightening the bolt. I don't know whether I should attempt to drill it out...

Hey Forum, Trying to pull my rear caliper and the bolt that holds it to the bracket (the one of the two towards the front of the bike) is super stiff. It takes an unreal amount of torque to unscrew and once it does start to move it's very difficult to turn and doesn't seem to back out. I...

Hello, last week I was in a rear end collision where I hit a smart car head on. Frame on left side cracked, engine mount with slider still intact but the bolt by the radiator on left side came off (threads still intact). On right side: Bolt is nonexistent-threads intact on motor but the motor...

Hi guys, today I am changing the seals, wipers, and oil on my R6 forks. I have completely dissasembled them apart from the seals themselves and the dampening assembly and bolt. ( I have removed the dampening rod) When I try to unscrew the bolt on the bottom of the forks for the assembly it...

So i was always wondering why the used bike i bought only had one frame slider, got around to ordering a pair recently, and found out that the previous owner broke off a bolt inside there. any ideas to get it out, and even if i did i dont see that being able to be retapped for a bigger bolt...

Need help. I'm swapping out the stock handlebars on my 2009. I've got all the controls and stuff off and I'm ready to loosen the 4 bolts on the center clamp. These 4 bolts clamping the bars down will NOT budge. I'm just using a standard socket set and as I start to turn the socket it just spins...

Here are a couple of photos of me in the process of taking my bike apart. All in all, to get to the point where the plastics were off, it's taken me about two hours due to a number of hang ups along the way. I got my little oil filled heater I picked up at Canadian Tire hooked up and on max...

So I'm trying to do the R6 fork mod and I got the spacers from dako81 and they looked awesome. I got the forks on and calipers swapped over only to find the spacers not being big enough. With the wheel and axle installed I still have a 5-8mm gap between the spacer and inside edge of the fork. I...

the left bolt on my battery cover just spins in place. it's about a 1/4 inch unscrewed and i can't tighten or loosen it. i think the threads may have come loose from whatever is holding it in place, and it is spinning with the bolt. i've tried applying leverage to the bolt from below while...

My mirror was really floppy one day as if it was just holding on my the rubber skirt around it. Well, I took if off to find this. Is there a bolt end cap I can buy or something? I looked at the oem parts diagrams but there is no part number for it. Can i get something from a local store that...

Just got a brand new Pilot Road 4 front wheel - can't wait to ride again! Now in the middle of reinstalling front wheel between front forks... Everything seems simple enough. I have fitted everything except "front wheel axle pinch bolt" (look at page 4-1 in the 2004 service manual). I am...

Heya folks! Recently went through the minor trouble of trying to lower my shifter. I used the two locknuts and wound the bar out, managing to get the shifter lower and make it a lot easier to reach than it used to be. The first adjustment I got it really low, but found I couldn't shift into...

I've been looking at buying a slipon but have a questions as to what to look for. Do I need to make sure it comes with the Y pipe? I'm used to bolt on slipon for a side pipe and all I would need is the can. Besides the cans which pieces parts do I need to make sure come with the sale?

Hey guys, first off thank you to everyone who already wrote guides on how to install a 12 volt cigarette lighter on the fz6. I used about 40 dollars in parts from autozone and about an hour because the battery bolt couldn't reach the nut with the new terminals. I ended up screwing the bolt in...

Hi Guys :welcome: Well, more n00b questions from the newbie but I have done my research, checked both manuals (owners and shop), and am at a loss. So, here I am once again. My clutch lever has been loose to the point of high rpm buzzing. Ok, fine, tighten it up. So I decide to do this while...

Is there any security chain that can stand against bolt cutter? Bike robbery is increasing here these days, and i want to know how to keep my bike safe. Here is a video of some famous chain brands, none can stand more than 30 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC3hFr8p2ck

Hey there, a while back I sold my FZ so I am cleaning out some stuff I have laying around. I have the stock forks + the stock front wheel bolt and 3 r6 forks in various states. I think you could get 2 decent shape r6 forks from the 3 present but I have not messed with this stuff in a few...

I got the givi engine guards and I like them but they block the oil drain plug. Ground down as much of the engine mount bolt as I feel comfortable with (actually the head not the threaded part) and I tried it with spacers but still can't get the drain plug out without loosening everything on the...

:disapprove: Okay, I had to change my battery this afternoon. Pulled the old one, no problem, got a replacement, and started to install the new one. An hour and 45 minutes later, I have given up. The battery terminal is an upside-down "U" with a hole in the top for the cable bolt, and a...
