oil

So will be looking into an oil change soon. Preaty sure my issue with the ticking is from the oil not reaching places when its colder out. Think the bike has been getting 20W40 for most of its service history. A bike shop said i should be running 10W40 and i would be running either amsoil or...

I was riding about 15 mins after an oil change on my 09 fz6. was on my way for an hour and a half ride to a city for a big interview. i went to pull over to get ready for the interstate in a small parking lot, and suddenly the bike just turned off. i had my clock, so it was as if i turned the...

it all started the beginning of the season. I got the tarp off my bike and did some light maintenance, and noticed the oil was quite low. I had a quart and a half lying around so i topped up, thinking nothing of it, checked pressures and everything seemed to be fine, rode it about 50 miles and...

So my FZ has had leaking fork seals for over a year. I don't ride it much so I don't want to put in any money on a bike that isn't even worth $1,000. But today, I was riding and my steering locked up. I could not press or turn the handlebars to the right. Could it be from no fork oil on one...

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...

Hi guys, I've just gone over a good thread on oil filters showing a brand which seems to be difficult to get here in Oz. https://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/204-oil-filters-will-fit-5.html The purolator PureOne PL14610 looks like a great quality filter going off...

Still looking for advice on front fork upgrades, RachTech emulators, springs and recommended oil. After market exhaust. Best bang for the buck, fitment and quality, trying to get the SC dialed in.

Every time I park my bike there’s always a couple drops of oil or something on the ground right beer the stator. The underside of the stator is wet. How do I replace the gasket or what needs to be done?

hi guys, I noticed the other day whilst cleaning my bike that the fork dust seal seems to be perishing, although there doesnt seem to be any oil leakage, so after a little research I decided to order the main seal and the dust seal and am gunna replace them on both forks. My question is what...

I rec'd an email today regarding the recall of K&N Oil Filters models KN-204 & KN-204C manufactured between March 2016 thru September 2016. Apparently some have exhibited leaking at the nut welded on the top for easy removal. Fortunately for me, I either didn't get one in that range or...

Saturday 2018-06-02 and the goal is oil change on the Fizzer. Throw the tank bag on and hit one store for a Wix filter and plan to hit another for the oil (I want what I want). Any who, somehow I head to the rising sun which leads me 90mi to all of this... Yes, this is the view...

Hi all, Being a while to post in the forum. So here is the deal. I have installed hyperpro suspension a while ago. as i learn the bike and did also lvl 1 and lvl 2 from california superbike school, i am pushing the bike harder. i will be doing lvl 3 next week. I did a track day a week ago and...

Gas is getting into the oil and overfilling the oil reserve tank and constantly fouling my third cylinder spark plug. Here is what a shop has done so far: checked valves, no adjustment needed, did a throttle body sync., adjustment needed and thought this would solve my problem, injector fine...

Hello Friends, I just wanted to send out a quick reminder to everyone for whenever they are working on something important. DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY OTHERS. I was diligently working on my valve adjustment (only needed to do 1 exhaust valve thankfully) while having two different people text me at...

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...

I was going down the street not too fast but probably faster than I should have being that there was snow on both sides of the road. The road itself was clear and as it was two blocks from my house I had been down the same road multiple times today and all was ok those times so I guess I was...

Want to replace the front fork oil around March or April 2018... Of some strange reason I have never done this before (just let a local shop do it). In the FZ6 service manual I can't seem to find the part where they explain how to drain the front fork oil without disassembling the whole...

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...

So with the recent tropical storm Jose, I was notified by my apartment complex's maintenance guy (also a rider), that the wind had knocked my bike over not once, but twice (he picked it up once). When I got home that evening, there was a large puddle of oil next to the bike and oil spread all...
