wheel

Hey guys! First time on this forum and digging for some answers. Hopefully someone can lay some knowledge on me. Situation: Got new tires (Michelin P4s) mounted on my wheels and after getting them put back on my bike, have a sinking suspicion I mixed up the front and rear spacers. Does...

Somehow I managed to crack the rear wheel on my 2006 fz6. The rear wheel's part number is 5SL Yamaha Y-4. I have found a used rear wheel off of a 2005 fz6, part number 5SL Yamaha Y-2. They look the same and have the same rear tire size. Will the 2005 rear wheel fit the 2006? Guys, I really...

Hey guys, long time no see. I'm still aboard the fz6 train, hoping to move up to an FZ1 this season, but that's another story. For a while now I've been having some issues with my transmission, the issue was described very well on an aprilia forum, I'll quote the guy as it's the same issue I'm...

I clearly can't catch a break with my rear wheel. All of this started after taking my wheel off to have the tire replaced. I rode for ~1000 miles problem free before removing the wheel. In a previous thread I figured out the odd crunching sound I heard, after putting the wheel back on, was...

I was wondering, for the fZ6, does the rear wheel have to be removed, or loosened in order to swap out the rear brake pads?

Well I finally found out what has been causing my weird crunching sound, my sprocket side rear wheel bearing. The thing was toast, I'm guessing from the previous owners fall. Since the sprocket separated from the hub, it was pretty easy to remove the bearing and replace it. I realized I...

Well, the trailer went on sale, $259, down from the usual sale price of $299. So I picked up the only one in the local store. I'm planning to use it to take the bike to farther destinations like NC and TN, and probably when we visit the in-laws in NY. I'll be adding a hitch to my Mazda6, from...

Hey all! Picked up my used 2007 FZ6 on Friday. Overall condition of the bike is amazing, but noticed the front wheel is a bit dented. might just be around the lip. Tire holds air fine. I took it for a spin around the block and didn't feel anything, but still. I basically just want to...

This isn't quite your traditional 'How To' thread, however I thought it might be useful for some. I’ve mentioned the products I used, but I'd also be interested to know what products you use… I'm always on the lookout to try something new! Over the last year or so, I've found myself getting...

Please delete please delete this thread.

Hey there, a while back I sold my FZ so I am cleaning out some stuff I have laying around. I have the stock forks + the stock front wheel bolt and 3 r6 forks in various states. I think you could get 2 decent shape r6 forks from the 3 present but I have not messed with this stuff in a few...

I adjusted my chain and all seems right until i move my back wheel and the chain seems to too tight....move the wheel some more and it is loose again. Wats up with this...chain or sprocket or both??

I just bought my FZ6 about a month ago with 2800 miles on it. I noticed almost right away that there is a slight noise coming from the front end. Not a banging or clicking noise, but more of a groaning or moaning noise at speed. I don't think its anything with the engine because when I pull...
