I'm interested in either Monolock or Monokey Givi top case for rear rack. Preferably 34L to 40Lish. Thanks Deuce In MN

Update 2025! My engine is toast! Valves in cylinders 1(80%) and 3(40%) are leaking air in a leak down test. The bike has currently 30,xxx. The oil level light that was intermittent may have been due to a failing or lackluster oil pump( that has not been confirmed). Its hard to believe that I ran...

Its been awhile and here is the update. Sent the bike to a trusted friend. He basically found what I think was vapor lock of some kind. Bike is running and time for the fork seals. Hopefully get some saddle time yet!

Here is a vid explaining.

Ok, here is a new one. I enter diagnostic mode. I want to check 36-39(injectors). I started with 36 and 37, and things check out. But, I try to toggle to 38 and it skips all the way to 41. I try again to toggle back and forth to 38 and 39, same thing happens. I also tried code 30 and 33(coils)...

Ok, I decided to go into diagnostic mode just to see. I can get to the d1 screen. But, when I hold the right button it does not progress to the next screen. Would this indicate something significant? Could this be related to my no start issue?

Still no start. I'm starting to think fuel injection issues. I think that its not getting fuel.

Also, Its been unseasonably warm winter here in MN with higher humidity. So, I suspect this may have played into the possible no start.

Ok, update. Its been slow going. But, new plugs are in and I wanted to re-check spark and I HAVE spark. So, I'm not sure if I missed it previously; regardless, I have spark. I'm still in the process of cleaning the connections. For context, Its been several days since I first checked for spark...

I confirmed today that there is no spark out to the brand new plug on cylinder 1 (right side sitting on the bike I believe). So, going to carry on and replace the rest and then at Gary's recommendation, clean the connection from the ecu. etc. BTW, the fuse for spark was in tact. This will be a...

Well, I had enough time with a friend to find out that there seems to be no spark. We used the starting fluid method 2x but no significant pop. So, At this point I'm in uncharted territory with my experience with the Fz6. There were two 30 amp fuses on top that check out ok. Are there any other...

Good evening Fz6ers, I've gone through some of the threads about this no start issue. I'm looking for a checklist to start trouble shooting tomorrow. There are no codes of any sort popping up and all the "normal" lights come on during the turning the key to on, and the fuel pump can be heard...

Here is an interesting one! I noticed after a top off; while I'm riding, my gas tank starts to vibrate intermittently. I can feel it on my legs as I sit very forward to the tank. It only happens after fill-ups and will not happen until the next fuel up. My guess is maybe air through the fuel...

Beating this dead horse! Went through May and June with fall oil and oil light comes on at high mph(above 65). Light goes off at low speeds(30-40). I finally do late June fresh oil and filter and go almost 3 weeks of no light. My reflecting thinks that my previous oil change, I may have added...

Ok, I appreciate the feed back. Me thinks I did not phrase me inquiry well enough; my bad!! This is my first FZ6 and it appears that the air filter looks K+N like. Is this reusable? Should I stick with OEM? Any after market recommendations other than K+N? Thanks again!
