    Throttle Response

    Apologies in advance if I am asking something everyone is tired of talking about... The 2007 FZ6 is new to me, is my first bike with an ECU and fuel injection. I did search the forum a bit regarding throttle response, and have learned some useful information, but thought I would selfishly start...

    Question about throttle - stop throttle cable

    Hello, When I bought my FZ6 S2 2008, I increase idle RPM by screw for stop "cradle" throttle cable. (see photo). I don't know whether it is good solution. I will be glad if you tell me how difference is between setting "stop screw" and original setting screw for idle RPM. (see second...

    Booster Plug - 2008 FZ6n

    Hi, I've had my FZ6 since Sept 2018, I have come to love this bikes handling and power, one thing that was bothering me was the throttle's abruptness at low speeds and also when cutting the throttle off in a corner and then back on which results in a bit of a surge, very unsettling in tight...

    Installing short throttle grip on FZ6

    Hello everybody from frozen Russia! And pardon my english skills, they are getting worse each time I write here. I want to install short grip on throttle, so I can twist my hand on lower angle and get full throttle (attachment 2). One guy in our community recently made such mod with a grip...

    1st unofficial post from L3FTY, after storage, injectors leaking?

    L3FTY Hi and welcome to the 4'uhm Mr L3fty. I am sharing this here vs a PM as I think others will benefit from your methods and perhaps the outcome of this process. That said I also find it unlikely 8 different injectors leak so we are on the same page. What I want to question is the...

    FZ6 Carb to inlet joints replacement

    Hi, After last ride noticed lumpy and high idle on my FZ6 and decided to check all the vacuum hoses for leaks. Found 1-st cylinder throttle balancer hose hanging split, which was repaired with ease and then noticed throttle to inlet joints badly cracked-all 4. After removal there were no...

    Hideous Accelerator Jumping

    Hi all! Hope everybody had a good christmas and new year - really hoping for some help here: Bike operates fine under all conditons, no faults to report anywhere at anytime, apart from the following: If I pin the throttle (not sure if any particular gear) the bike will accelerate like a...

    New owner - fixing terrible throttle

    What can be done about an excessively stiff throttle on an 06 FZ6? I'm going to try to lube the cables and take the assembly apart to see if there's any corrosion or gunk causing an issue, but it's basically impossible to make precise on off throttle inputs in any sort of sport riding scenario...

    2006 FZ6 purchase with low mileage (km's)

    Hi All, New here so I thought I'd get started right away. Getting ready to buy my first bike (2006 FZ6 of course). Found a couple but one only has 5000 km's (about 3,200 miles). I know that bike has been sitting for at least two years without being used (other than ~50 km's when purchased...

    I'm famous! Quick Throttle Magazine

    Okay, not really but LOL. I've never even heard of the magazine until the interview. Turns out, they have tons of pictures of me over the past few years for the Street Vibrations Events under their gallery. I always saw the photographers, but I could never figure out where the pictures were or...

    poor performance

    Hi guys yesterday I noticed the bike was running a little different to normal, mainly it seemed "grumbly" so thought I would put the carb tune on and check the throttle body balance. When I attached it and started the engine up all but one of the gauges were working and balanced with one...

    Getting used to the throttle on the FZ6

    Hi Everyone, new FZ6 owner here. Came from four (yes 4) years on a Ninja 250. I still love that bike, has a lot to offer other than power. I picked up a 2009 FZ6 with 4k miles on it in near mint condition. Love this bike as well and holy moly it has a lot of power. One thing that is taking...

    Is there any way to make the FZ6 throttle less twitchy/snatchy in 1st/2nd?

    You know when you've rolled off the throttle in 1st or 2nd and are in decel, but then roll the throttle back on, the bike kinda jumps/lurches? Is there anything that can be done to mitigate this? Power Commander maybe? Just kind of annoying, especially when going through the twisties, it's a bit...

    Slow can be incredibly fun

    OK maybe not slow, but coming from FJR and FZ1, my new to me V-Strom 1000 is very ... unfast. Heck, it would probably lose to FZ6 in a drag race, BUT.. that low end torque makes it SO much fun to ride! Cruise casually at 3k rpm (or even slightly lower), twist the throttle and the thing just...

    Scrapping '04 engine - make requests if you want anything

    As stated in title. I'm getting rid of my old 2004 FZ6 engine with about 45k miles on it. Will pull small pieces off and ship if anyone wants them. Just make me a reasonable offer to cover shipping and my time.

    2005 Yamaha FZ6 TPS/ intake air system issue after valve clearance check

    Hey people, helping a friend with his FZ6. Just finished a valve clearance check at 22k miles, during which we disconnected most of the wires (but did not remove) the tank, throttle bodies, and cooling system, although we did drain/refill the coolant. The engine sounds fine now that it's back...
