    Water Wetter?

    I looked but couldn't find anything on it (but I know its been posted here). Reading the Water Wetter site, it seems your only adding several ounces to the cooling system... It's rare it gets below 32F down here and I'd like to try the WW. I think the "track guys" are running either...

    Having an issue with my cooling system - Liquid noise + overflow

    Flushed coolant last week, it's finally hot here in Oregon so my bike hit 200+ for the first time. Pulled up in my garage, turned bike off, heard a sound that resembled squirting water, seems like it's all through my coolant system, pipes/radiator. About 30 seconds later my overflow dumps...

    Changed my ten year old coolant - Pitch Black and gross

    Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet I had to flush four times before the water came out clear. The gallon you're looking at is the original coolant + one distilled water flush. I replaced it with engine ice. Things to note now : Bike runs much cooler, about 10 degrees...

    Does every version of the FZ6 have a coolant resivor?

    Yes, I know this sounds crazy. But I have been staring at my bike for 30 minutes with a flashlight and can't find the damn over fill jug. I have drained the coolant and cycled some water through, but ideally would have taken the crap out of the over fill compartment. Bike is a 2009 btw ;) Thanks!

    Water around the inside of the filler cap

    When I fill up with petrol (gas) and I open the filler cap I find that water has filled the area between the opening to the tank and the ring around the filler cap. My bike is stood outside at home and this happens when there has been a lot of rain. More recently I fill up with the bike on the...

    Oil seal assembly direction, any experienced rebuild help appreciated!

    Ok, I rebuilt my water pump with the service manual I hand. The instruction doesn't say clear which side of the oil seal goes to which bearing side and the water seal side. My mistake that didn't notice when disassembled the oil seal. Oil seal has two surface sides, one with spring and one...

    Rental bike trip in Southern Spain

    I know it has been a bit of of a silent period with my trip reports now, but now it is time to be back. I still have my FZ6s in my garage, but this time it will be the water cooled R1200GS for six days. Just arrived here in southern Spain today, stay tuned.... Hope it is not off topic this way...

    Strange sound from Water pump?!

    Hi everyone. There is a whistle noise/sound from water pump. Sound is very very annoying at idle, 1200 rpm and if bike is cold or warm, no whistle. The whistle sound is only when bike is full warm. Also, sound goes when bike revved 1600 or up, no water mixing marks on motor oil or there is not...

    My bike evidently came with a coolant reservoir - now what?

    I don't know if its my old age or just complete ignorance but I just noticed my coolant reservoir on my bike. Since I obviously never touched it before and in trying to shine a flashlight in there I am pretty sure it is empty. How do I go about filling it and what to use? Pretend I am stupid...

    Swingarm and Axle sliders keep water out?

    I am considering purchasing some swingarm and axle sliders. For those with swingarm and axle sliders, particularly those from Motovation, do you know if they keep water from getting into the swingarm or front wheel axle? Do they allow water to seep in and pool there? That would be bad. I...
