radiator

Hello everyone, I took my 2007 FZ6 for a ride for the first time in about 10 days and I noticed the temp gauge running hot. Usually the fan kicks on at about, I would say, 170-180 ish (unless I'm clearly mistaken). But yesterday my fan would only kick on around 210. it would bring it back down...

Hi all.. might seem a daft question but does anybody know how the original plastic radiator grill fits onto the bike.. i know it has a bottom bolt what bolts onto the mouint but my question is how does it fit at the top part were there are two mounts. on the gfrill itself it just looks like an...

Hi All New member to this forum. I have had my 2005 FZ6-S since March last year. Bike was in near perfect condition and radiator guard already installed. Original colour was red Mods: Dual headlight mod 3m Deep space chameleon vinyl wrap 3m Anthracite vinyl wrap Twin Two Brothers...

I've been a lurker on here for a couple years and thought I'd try to finally contribute instead of just sucking knowledge from you guys, so here goes... As I anxiously await the Michigan weather to warm back up and dry out, I've been tinkering with my bike to pass the time. Yesterday, I...

how do I post them? I am going to be tearing my bike down tomorrow to change head gasket, radiator, thermostat, coolant, oil, filter ect....

I have a 04 fz6 40k on clock, notice coolant levels drop after riding. At first I thought it was just the overflow tank coolant levels fluctuating due to usage warming up and cooling down engine. Until the coolant levels remained low, causing me to have to keep refilling it. I never let it drop...

worried i may have head gasket leak. a bit back i was low on coolant, so decided to change the radiator cap which looked like the seals had gone (OEM). I changed it to an after market 1.6 bar high pressure cap. Then a bit later, my coolant reservoir developed cracks, I replaced the reservoir...

recent relevant service: replaced radiator cap with 1.6 bar aftermarket cap March 2017 radiator coolant flush 3 weeks ago I was doing an oil change and it went pretty normally, but after inspecting my bike i noticed a small puddle of coolant under the bike near the kick stand (left...

So there is 2 tanks and a radiator? whats the second tank for? I just need a basic explanation thanks.

1st time poster, long time lurker! I recently acquired an '06 FZ6. The story I got was that the driver "fell asleep" while riding one night. I've been riding all sorts of bikes for almost 40 years, and to date, I have yet had the inclinling of even dosing off during a ride, so I must sumise...

I've been searching like mad on the forum for the past several weeks to pretty much go over the bike from end to end. I recently purchased it, and it was a well maintained bike for its age but I wanted to make sure everything was sound from end to end. First order of business was to figure...

I have two radiator fan motor guards (left over) for sale. They were designed on my 07 and the original is currently installed and pictured below. They fit both the S1 and S2 models.(04-09) I designed and made these up to prevent the often occurring burnt out fan motor when a pebble jambs up...

There have been numerous threads of the radiator fan burning up from rocks jamming in-between the radiator and the fan (usually burning up the fan). The fuse appears to be too large for the circuit however even with a lighter fuse, fan motors are still burning out (if a pebble jambs...

I have a used GPI radiator for sale that is in decent condition. Used it for about 200 miles. The only problem I had was that the filling flange is slightly thinner than normal so you have to bend the cap to get it to seal properly. Also, the threaded fitting for the overflow line is a bit large...

...one of them does not look like the others: This is after 12.5k miles. What does the white residue on the #1 spark plug indicate? It's on the bolt rather than on the head, and it's not powdery/rubbing off on my hands. For posterity, this was easily done following the instructions...

Took a shot from something and it looks like it is radiator time. I will be exploring repair, but I need to hedge my bets in case I need to replace. Anyone have one for sale?

Looking for a radiator in decent shape. Let me know if you have one available!

So I was recently in a crash which damaged my stock radiator. Looking on ebay for replacements, I see both used stock radiators and then aftermarket full aluminum radiators for roughly the same price. They seem to be good quality and bolts in as a direct stock replacement. It also claims a 30%...

I own a pair of auxiliary lights and I'm without ideas to mount them. I don't like them in the forks. The best place, I think, and they will be discrete, is under the front fairing, centered with the headlights, but I need to make some kind of bracket to fit them there. So I thought, if it...

I realize that most automobiles have coolant temperature gauges that are "rigged" in the sense that they show the same position for a decent range of operating temperatures so that people don't think there's a problem when they see it go up and down. Obviously, the FZ6 does not have that. Since...
