    Tips to maximize MPGs?

    Hello all, So I noticed that when I actually do the speed limit (ha ha) on the freeway my MPG went up. Doing 65 MPH for a 300 mile stretch nets me about 58-59 miles per gallon at about 5500 RPM. When I was going faster I was only getting about 50 MPG. I went back and looked at posts to the...

    Tuning fuel and ignition for operation on premium fuel?

    Hey folks, lately I've been contemplating putting some more time into tuning the FZ to take advantage of higher octane fuel. From what I gather, in stock trim these bikes are supposed to run on 87 octane fuel, however given that the FZ motor is of the R6/R6S family (which make or power and are...

    Premium Fuels - V Power

    Had a buddy of mine recently tell me about buying gas at Shell and how it is supposedly cleaner and helps the engine run better. Naturally, I looked it up and Shell claims that it reduces frictional losses and cleans the engine due to additives, and another article explaining that it's...

    Noisy fuel pump

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and new to the FZ6. I just bought one used from 2004 some days ago and I am getting accustomed to it. Question to you: When I am driving I can here some kind of constant whistle like a Larsen effect. I went to a Yamaha dealer and they listened to the motorbike...

    Engine hesitates after startup

    This started happening a few months ago - when I start my FZ6 and rev the engine within the first minute or so it hesitates to rev up. The idle is smooth but in neutral or under power it is almost like it is low on fuel. My mileage has been consistent at 42mpg, I started using yamahas...

    An interesting find.

    Hello, After lurking your forums for a couple weeks I figured I'd go ahead and make an account. Where to begin... It all started with a tire change. I decided to take it to a mechanic I'd never used upon referral from a fellow at work. Whilst there picking up the rim I was waived into...

    HELP! Bike won't start after dropping tank

    While adding a USB charging port I accidentally bumped my tank and knocked it off the bike. This pulled the wires/terminals out of the plug and broke the fuel line. Not too big of a deal. I installed a new fuel line and wire the pump back up. When I turn the key I can hear the pump whirring and...

    Help, engine sounds like a washing machine full of bricks

    Hi, I'm after some advice, I've got an '04 FZ6 with 42k on the clock. When cold it runs like a dream, but when it's hot I get a clicking noise, which I've attributed to the cam chain tensioner. However under load, when warm, in first and second it sounds like the engine is falling to bits...
