chain

So a couple days ago everything was fine, till I noticed a weird clicking, crunching noise from the rear, not sure what it was but it was only present when sitting on the bike and pushing it around, I did clean and lubed the chain but it was still there. Now I ordered a new chain and sprockets...

My last 2 mods were R6 forks and an S2 swingarm, so I have some parts I won't be needing. 1 - S1 swingarm, $100. Includes front pivot, wheel axle, rubber chain guide, adjusters and end caps. Normal wear and tear, with the exception of small scratched area on top left (sprocket side)...

My 2007 FZ6 produces a decent amount of vibration/buzzing from idle to redline. It's not THAT bad and some ranges are worse than others, but the big thing is that the buzzing is more prominent in the right handgrip and right foot peg. What would make it buzz more on one side than the other...

Hi all. Planning to replace my cam chain tensioner as I suspect a faint ticking noise from right side and warm engine is caused by a worn cct. Not that expensive, seems to be a common issue and almost to be considered periodic maintenance. But, reading up on the task, many seem to point out...

So I am busy looking for chains and sprockets for my bike. My question would apply to mods and upgrades as it involves changing sizes of parts. So I read going down in size of front sprocket speeds you up and up in the back makes it more faster. This is not he part I was wondering about...

Heres the scoop so other day I start hearing timing chain tick so I put her on the stand remove tensioner screw it in take finger off and watch it do its thing its nice and smooth no jumping or anything put it back on fire this dog up and all hell breaks loose. nasty sound ya all know the one. I...

I broke the chain on my 2006 Fz6 and obviously it broke a couple of things including a bracket that the chain cover bolts to. Do i have to replace the top crank case or is their another cover to the crank case that can be replaced?

As title, it seems that on a really smooth surface like a new car park or fresh tarmac I can feel a slight clicking as the chain is going round only at very low rolling speeds (with gear engaged, if I depress clutch then it goes..I think) Hard to explain its not really a knock although close to...

Hey all, been a while since i posted, still riding my 2nd Fazer but came badly unstuck and need advice please. Chain came off at about 80km/h, took out the mount for the front sprocket cover, plus a 6cm hole on the side of the block. I tried using pratley steel to cover it up but the engine...

I was looking for a Rizoma metal front fender for my Virago bike. It is around $150 in many web sites. But then i came across a strange site that sells it for $44. Then i also found Fz6 Did chain for $40 in the same site. Also offers free international shipping. So do you think is it...

Bought this brand new and didn't need it. Just sold bike so definitely won't use it. Paid $106. Will sell for $65 shipped to your door. Let me know? Fits 2006 fz6 (and maybe other models). Includes gasket... Ceebass68 at gmail.com Update: will ship in US only unless you are willing to pay...

When I bought my bike 5 years ago the seller neglected to inform me of a very serious issue. I posted about it when I found out, but basically I’m guessing the chain came off on the previous owner and took a chunk out of the engine. There was an attempt to fix it by the last guy with some JB...

Okay, so I went to replace my chain and sprockets this weekend. Chain comes off fine, replaced the front sprocket fine. But when I went to pull off the rear sprocket, I found that five of the six nuts just spin around the bolts. Watching carefully confirms that the nuts are spinning, but the...

The manual states to check chain slack on the centerstand. Presumably checking slack on a paddock stand would throw off the measurement seeing as the swing arm would not be hanging as if it were on the center stand. My bike does not have a centerstand. How do you guys who don't have centerstands...

Replaced my chain and sprocket on a 05 FZ6 right before winterizing it, noticed a weird whining almost siren (originally that's what I thought it was) upon deacceleration at high speeds. Chain is tightend within range and noticed a bit of it the other day when riding although probably won't get...

Hey all, I need experts. Sometimes (hard to repeat), when I'm accelerating hard in 2nd gear, there is an abrupt stop/start to power delivery that lasts less than half a second. The engine tone doesn't change much, so it seems like it has to be something in the transmission. How bad a thing am...

I am pretty new to the whole bike maintenance thing but due for an oil change and my chain needs to be tightened. I bought the oil filter and oil but not exactly sure what other tools I need other than the oil filter socket wrench. I know I need a torque wrench at 17 nM, 43 nM for oil filter...

Hello fellow FZ6 lovers. Since I bought my FZ6 I tried to catch up on previous maintenance, including fluids, filters, lubing parts and cables, ... Ever since I got it the engine was jolting under 4K at constant rpm, when rolling off or under light acceleration. Plus I could feel irregular...
