oil

Hi again Fazerers I hope you're all well and bikes are too. I bought my FZS with 24k on the clock and no service history so I've changed the oil, filter, plugs and I've recently ordered a new air filter to add to the service. I assumed the filter would be some cheap standard thing but...

Hi there fellow bikers, I did or thought I'd posted earlier but I can't find it so I'm guessing I didn't post it. My '98 FZS600 probably hasn't had a service in a while as the plugs were rusty and in desperate need of change so I've done the plugs, oil, oil filter and next will be the air...

I noticed that there is a very small oil leak on the bike the other day. Haven't noticed any drops on the floor, but just running on the metal. I cleaned up the entire bottom of the bike and the only spot I noticed oil when wiping was at the lower hose at the metal connector where the two pipes...

I just read a post on changing the oil but it still didn't directly state my answer. For Checking not Changing do you check the dipstick with it on side stand or center stand?

Bike is now sold. Thanks everyone!

Not that I'm looking to sell the Hot Raven Chick but the question goes out, what would you pay for her as is? Share your thoughts! Let me say that she will either leave us as a crash victim or be sold as is. I'm not into taking it all apart! With some level of certainty, I'm sure some wise...

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...

Heya folks! I've been keeping up with regular maintenance on the bike as best I can, and every time the clutch starts to get a bit harder to pull I go about and add some oil (10W40) which seems to fix the problem - although the oil never seems to stay for very long. I noticed yesterday that it...

Over the last week or so I have noticed that on cornereing my bike doesn't track exactly how I figure it should. I checked tire pressures and it was all ok, only about 5000kms on the Z8's so plenty of life there still. Tha handling is like hitting a tar snake or riding along a white lane...

Hi Guys, It is reaching to 6k miles on it. 2800 miles within 2 months. Lately I'm falling in love with this bike after listening to many people how good of a bike this is. A swiss-army knife of bikes. I wash it every week, lube the chain, polished the headers(mother's mag), checked the...

I'm going to be replacing my brake seals in the coming days and will be replacing my lines with braided ones as well. It all seems a bit daunting to be frank. I have a complete set of seals, washers, grease etc ready. I have been reading and prepping for the seals replacement but I'm not sure...

I lost my Fz6 Oil cap while riding. I called a couple Yamaha dealers and none of them have it in stock. I was wondering if anyone knows whether any other makes use the same size oil caps. Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki etc? I am referring to this part...

I replaced my stock grips on my 2007 with the ProGrip 714BK and like them a lot. Much grippier and seemed to help with the vibes...slightly. I still notice hand pain and numbness after 30 minutes or so of riding. I am always careful not to death-grip the bars, but I wish there was something...

Before I changed my fork oil today I did a search to find out how much I needed to put back in. I found a forum post that it took 497 mL per tube. I had a one liter container so I split it, almost all, between the two. The level looked kind of high; if I compressed the fork to the bottom, the...

So I changed my oil with Rotella Dino oil, and the tapping noises seem more pronounced now, especially until the oil gets up to operating temperature. Anyone else notice this. I used the oil i did becaise i work in a truck shop and get Rotella for basically nothing. The old oil was rather nasty...

Unfortunately, it's time to sell. I will miss. She handles great, and she is FAST! I never had problems keeping up with my buddy on his 2001 R1. And could pass my buddy with his 2002 GSXR-6. 2009 Yamaha FZ6 Single owner 15K miles Couple minor cosmetic flaws, nothing major. Runs and drives like...

Hi, I am really hoping some knowledgeable person out there can help me. On the last two occasions when I have ridden my bike it has dumped a tiny amount of oil. There are two rubber pipes ending close to the co2 sensor on the exhaust, right side of bike. One is the fuel tank overflow or...
