oil

I have had my 08 FZ6 for about a year now and it has 4100 miles on it (bought with only 2300 on the clock) With the miles being low but it being about 6 years old, what service would you recommend on it? I see things for higher mileage like plugs and servicing forks, but more curious about the...

I'm in need of a new oil plug. I have Givi engine guards and they get in the way of taking out the OEM one. Since I have to buy one anyway do they make ones that are shorter than the original? Thanks!

Did I screw up my engine? (Yet another vibration post) Sorry for the wall of text... I'm nervous that I broke my baby! Firstly, I've done a bit of searching and reading, and feel that this is a unique problem (maybe).. so here goes: This is my first bike that I've owned. Learned to ride...

Hi guys. So, I picked up a new to me 2006 FZ6 a few weeks back and have noticed it runs rich. Other do not seem to mind it that much but I am finding that I am sensitive to it, to the point that I sometimes shut the engine down at stops as I can not stand the sickly smell blowing over me. It...

I stumbled on this site while doing research on FZs and notice many members use Amsoil or ask about it but there is no one to provide immediate answers or help. I talked to the Admin and have agreed to Support fz6-forum and its members by offering Amsoil products at a discount If you are...

Hey guys, I'm curious what kind of oil filters the Canadian FZ6 owners are using and where they get them. I've read the oil filter thread and seen the list that fits, but our access to them is more limited since we don't have autozone/pepboys and our Walmart does not carry supertech. I've...

Hi, My fz6r has been sounding pretty funky lately. Sometimes I'd here a clicking as I accelerated, but it would stop after reaching about 5-8 mph. I checked my oil levels and found black specs of something in the oil. The oil still looks good but it's just the black specs. Should I need to...
