Thanks one million Erci! You are the man :rockon:

Hi everyone, I want to replace my old handlebar (rusted), and so, I've bought a new Renthal Road Ultra low. ==PROBLEM== The old handlebar ends are also rusted and I can't remove them (I've damaged the bolts from both sides :D ). Having the problem with the stuck bar-ends, I can't remove the...

Thanks for the quick answers, I have already purchased a new pair of cables and will install them both.. Cheers

Hi everyone, My kill switch has gone bad, due to rust on the connectors and it has also become too loose. While I was trying to clean the connectors, and disassembled the kill switch unit, I noticed the existence of the following two thick cables: - one cable which connects on the...

Thanks a million, I'll probably wait until tomorrow for the Battery Tender (12v @0.8ah) and will take the battery in my room to charge it. Cheers, Dimos

Hi everyone, I have a question about my second bike (a scooter) but since it has a maintenance free battery, the question can well apply for the battery of FZ6, and so, other people in this forum may also benefit from the answer. Question: The battery has went flat since today noon while trying...

Hi everyone, I got my TPS replaced today and it seems that has solved all of the problems I was experiencing. People from this Yamaha point: West London Yamaha, London's Number 1 Premier Yamaha Dealer, UK seem to be quite professional and have reasonable prices. For instance, adjusting...

Today I got my TPS replaced and guess what...It feels like riding a totally different bike. Rides smooth, good throttle response, no petrol smell, no hiccups, no engine stalling, stable idle. I asked the people from Yamaha garage to listen the engine sound for valve noise. They said that...

Hahaa.. yes, I have thought about it , to become one of these customers that you want to get rid of with as fast as possible... But... What if they give me an old TPS just to stop calling 3 times a day? :BLAA:

Rossi: if you don't stay behind me next year, I'll take care of your exhaust output....

How cool is that? The bike looks already 3x more bad-ass already! I am pretty much sure that (at least) the rear arm is engineered to provide the best possible overall performance when combined with R6's weight distribution (this is what Yamaha's engineers have probably spent on over a year of...

Re: whats your favorite Rock song? YouTube - Sepultura - Orgasmatron (Donington 1994)

I'll take my risks and will try to do it my self next week (or so). Items: - A print out of the service manual (I have printed the photos from the Valve-adjustment section in A3) - A filler gauge (Draper 10286 Feeler Gauge Imperial: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools) - Torque wrench set + spanner...

I am sorry, I used the wrong expression before (you see I am not a native speaker...) When I said "ordered" I actually meant I asked for the free replacement, as the TPS has never been replaced on my bike. I did exactly what you suggested, called the dealer, asked for replacement history...
