fuel

Hello, I was hoping to get some help diagnosing an issue with rough and inconsistent idle on my 2009 FZ6. I've done a little searching around on this forum and other forums but haven't been able to come to any definitive conclusions. I am experiencing really rough idle and sputtering/loss...

Afternoon all, I recently fitted an aftermarket keyless fuel cap, the CNC type from Road and Race (link to pictures of the same cap on eBay), installation was straight forward enough; however when I open the cap to refuel I get a burble and splutter of fuel splashing up. I reused the...

Hi All, I am looking for tank grab handle for Yamaha Fazer FZ6 2006. This is a fuel tank grab handle, easily screwed to the fuel caps which allows the passenger to grab a secure handle without disturbing the driver. Do you have any ideas where could be found? Any ideas will be greatly...

Lets see those fuel maps! Where did it come from, how did you get it (DL, Dyno tune, AutoTune, Dyno Run etc). Include what mods are done to the bike, year and all that jazz. --> Please don't forget Target Air Fuel Ratio AFR and your Goal - Power vs Economy... The reason I ask is this, if these...

Hello hello, Two months ago I bought a second hand fz6 with a problem in the cables of the immobiliser. The fuel pump would only work if I would turn the handlebars totally to the right. So I understood that it was a cable connection problem. One day the moto decided to stop working. After...

Anyone have a bad fuel pump that still has its connectors in good shape? I snapped the fuel outlet after owning my FZ6 less than a week. Since it doesn't seem like I can buy just the outlet, TownsendsFJR1300 recommended looking for a broken pump to rebuild mine...

I bought a used 2004 FZ6 on Monday and am still working out the gremlins. A few minutes ago I went to investigate why the fuel gauge sensor wasn't working. Turns out it wasn't plugged in, and plugging it in fixed it. Alright, quick victories! But in the process of putting everything up, I...

A guide on how to fix that off idle snatch! There are many complaints about off idle transition when getting back on the throttle to pull out of turn. Some would say its that little dead zone or jerk felt when getting back on the throttle which unloads the suspension upsetting the bike. This...

Hey Guys My fuel hose burst and I replaced it with a aftermarket one. But after replacement, the 'feeling' is not the same. Dragging seems rough and not smooth as before. So my question is, does using aftermarket fuel hose affect performance?

Hi, new to this forum so not exactly sure where to write this but here goes. I purchased a 2008 fz6 that wasn't running been in a crash basically front of bike is gone. I got it for the reason of putting motor in a go kart as bike is a write off but motor still ok. Now I've got the...

Any of you guys race ChumpCar? (For those who don't know, it's a $500 car value endurance racing league.) My brother's been building his '88 E30 BMW for the last year and topped the podium in his second race in the car at MIS this past weekend. The win was not without a fair amount of scary...

hi, I'm heavily using my '05 fz6 in rush traffic, sometimes cruising hi-ways. Will 15t causes more fuel consumption as 16t? around 4-7k rpm when riding in city, 110 km/s (~65mph) when riding on hiway. I'm so tired if there are any linguistic errors, forgive me.

I am looking to change my sprockets before a 1500 mile road trip to Key West and I would like to change my sprockets to get a little better mpg. This will be a vast majority freeway cruising so I'm willing to give up acceleration and around town riding performance to get better mileage...

Hi, I have read a lot of posts but seems like my problem is slightly different. So throughout the day it happens just enough to get me worked up, so here it goes. Sometimes in neutral bike will turn off. Power is still on so I have re push the engine start to turn it back on. Sometimes it...

I have a '05 FZ6 and it was crashed a few years back but runs fine, until lately lol. I decided to go street fighter with it, havent changed any wireing or anything, just put a different exaust on it flipped the handle bars romoved all the fairings, it was running fine, even with the new pipe on...

I'm curious about this because I was reading the 15t front sprocket thread, and someone reported having the smaller front sprocket and still getting roughly 60 miles per gallon. I have a stock setup, ride it like a total (meow), and very seldomly ride two up... I usually get about 48-52 mpg...

SOLD! (07-25-2011) Tank is in excellent condition with No Dents! Some normal signs of use: Scuffs and swirl marks from normal riding and tank bag installation/removal. The last two pictures show the most significant scratch and a small rock chip. Word to the wise: Un-dented tanks do not come...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum. I just bought an 1986 fz600. It needs some work, but it was an unbelievable deal and the bike is solid despite being in rough shape. I have a few questions that i haven't been able to answer by searching around. Hopefully some of you might be able to help...

Hi everyone, I'm having all sorts of woes at the moment. My bike had a flat battery (probably because my heated hand-grips have a slow drain, and I haven't ridden for a month or so). I charged the battery and tried to start it today, but no luck - the engine turns over, but doesn't fire...

Since it's so often discussed on this forum, I figured I would post a how to on removing/lifting the tank without removing the fairings. All pictures are from a 2006 model. Ok; here we go: First of all, here's what you will need to complete the process: 1 Allen key (5mm), 1 Flange key(?)...
