    What oil do you guys use?

    This topic has probably been asked, and beaten to a pulp but it's 2019 and I'm bringing it back :) I ordered an OEM oil filter + that $15 tool from yamaha to remove it. Going to do an oil change soon, I was lazy and did not change my ~900 miles I had on the last oil change before putting it...

    FZ6 locks replacement

    Hi, guys! Last two years ignition lock on my FZ6 S2 works very badly. Sometimes it tooks 3-5 minutes to turn a key (I know that it is common problem for most of Yamahas). I've tried different lubrications but alas nothing worked well... Since I have US version without immobilizer, I decided...

    Another newbie question - wheel spinning in neutral

    I changed my oil and filter and now I notice the rear wheel spins ~15 RPM in neutral when on the center stand. I read this is normal but it did just start after this oil change for me. I put in 10/40 Yamalube as specified. Might this be caused by over-filling? - the dip stick has it right to the...

    Hiccup in power delivery accelerating in 2nd. very troubling.

    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...

    clutch friction zone?

    Is it just a fz6 thing that the clutch engages at the very end. I would prefer it being in the middle any way to change it?

    Swingarm bearings

    As i read the other bearing thread, i would like to ask, did you ever change swingarm bearings. I plan to change my S1 swingarm with an upgraded S2 one. I bought it from ebay Germany with 40k km on but looks perfect. Checked bearings with hand, and they look ok to me. Meantime i have already...

    Question Regarding Fork Oil Change

    I'm going to be changing my fork oil this weekend. Is it worth while to change my fork seals as well since I will have the forks off the bike? They are not currently leaking and I have about 13,000 miles on my bike.

    Chain size questions.

    Hey guys thanks for taking the time to answer my question, So i left my bike in the garage over the winter and I (irresponsibly) did not lube it so the chain is real stiff and has some seized links and sounds horrible. I want to change the chain, I've read that the stock length is 118 links, I...

    05 - R6s fork conversion question

    I just got the R6s forks and brakes with the master cylinder/lever still attached. So, here is a question : My 05 has twin-pot brakes up front, should I use the R6 master cylinder/lever for the 4-pot calipers instead of the ones on my bike? Reasons that support the change : - Stock part...

    Ideas on how to clean out a nasty fork

    Hey everyone. After working on getting my front axle unstuck for about a month, I can finally begin working on what I originally wanted to do before I came to an immediate halt when I couldn't get the axle off. So anyways, I wanted to change the fork fluid on my bike. It has 25000 miles...

    tire change

    Anybody have any tips for changing a tire? Had a gash in my rear tire and after receiving my new tire today decided to change it. It was a total pain in the ass. I'd read that breaking the bead was the hardest part, that part was simple. Getting the first side of the tire off the rim wasn't...

    24,000 miles valve clearance advice

    the intake specifications says it should be between 0.13 and 0.20. Most of them are at 0.13. What shall I do? leave them or because they are basically at the limit of the specification, pretend they are let's say 0.10 and change the shims? I don't want to have to re open the engine again in a...

    Oil filter life question

    So I have done a search on the site and a google search to find a answer but most answers I found were 7-10 years old. The quick story...I have been running K&N oil filter and Rotella T6 5w-40 for almost 2500 miles. Bike is almost due for an oil change. Would it be a bad thing to run the...
