nut

so I took bike to shop to get new rear tire, and they tightened the chain too tight, but I know the procedure and its hasn't been too big of an issue, so I decided to fix at home. Here is the issue: I have an impact wrench 425 ft-lbs of force, when I try to undo the axle bolt, it spins, so I...

Hello all I'm new to the forum. I'm returning from a 16 day 5000 mile trip on my fz6. I lost power when my front sprocket nut came off. It sheared the threads. Luckily it happened in the parking lot of my motel. I will be calling shops in the morning and hope someone offers a solution to get...

Hello Folks, Can anyone help me out with the size of the clutch centre nut which holds the clutch basket on? Whatever it is i don't have a socket drive big enough to take it off! I've checked the Yamanual, and the Haines service and repair manual, they both only supply torque amounts for...

hi guys, apologies if this seems like a daft post, but I could do with a little help and clarification if possible? today I thought I would lube my chain and once on the paddock stand noticed that the chain was a little on the slack side so I decided I would adjust it. so I undid the large...

Bought a 2005 FZ6 about three weeks ago. Took it to my local/independent mechanic, who discovered that whoever put the rear wheel on last, tightened down the axle out of alignment, then cross-threaded the axle nut on, and then forced it (likely with an impact wrench). He had to cut the nut...

So I finally picked up my bike and started getting her back up to par. The previous owner didn't do that great a job taking care of her. :( I was cleaning off the chain and noticed a large build-up of that black tar/grime/gunk stuff on the underside of the bike, on the wheels, etc. I take off...

So 3 years back I purchased a used givi fz351 toprack on the forum. As with most of the used topracks it didn't didn't come with the expansion nuts that go in the rear tubular frame. I came up with a solution at the time that was OK, but I always wanted something better; it was snug, but not...

I am missing my gear sprocket retaining nut! Don't know how, don't know when, but it has disappeared, probably fallen out while riding (just checked the garage floor a thousand times). I consider myself very lucky, that when it fell out, it did not cause any damage to the bike, nor did it kill...

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...

I had a new set of tires put on a few weeks back and just noticed that the mechanic put the rear axle nut onto the right side instead of the left. Can this have any negative effects on the axle or spacing on either side or is it safe to leave as is?

Hi Guys :welcome: Went to adjust my chain tonight as it seemed a bit loose and guess what? The chain side axle nut is gone! Being I need my bike for tomorrow just a few quick questions. 1) I noticed the chain being "loose" for about a week and have been riding my bike all over but can't be...

: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...
