po shame ?

[ohgood]

new to me fz had dark oil, so I. prepaed for it with new yammi filter and (gasp) rotella.

the filter needed channel locks to remove .

the drain plug ? a freaking impact gun. 13" breaker bar wouldn't budge it!

after the super loose stem bearing and super tight drain plug, I wonder what else ill find.....

Hopefully, a great bike..... I have been through more bikes than can be counted, only to find this great all around machine......
and by the way, an oil filter socket works wonders to remove the filter in the space provided......

hi everyone, first post on this sight and its on the wall of shame. the rear axle nut, washer, and tire/chain tensioner thingy just came off while riding. is this a reoccuring problem or a freak accident? overall 55 dollars to replace that stuff along with a giant headach of being broke down on the side of the road. i guess its what i get for getting cheap labor to replace my tires.

hope to post more in the future guys, i use this website for every question on the amazing bike. Have a nice day :thumbup:

yep, everything else is great so far. new rubber is a really nice thing.

my 09 fz6 same way I had to put holes in the factory filter to get it off. I also broke my 3/8 breaker bar.

An oil filter wrench is the way to go.

Get one of those cap style filter wrenches. If the wrench rotates and doesn't work drill a small hole on the side of the cap wrench, then drive a 2" self tapping screw into the filter. It should come right off using a ratchet
