    Can't get pressure on front brakes

    I''ll definitely use a Mity Vac next time. I figured it out. took everything apart again, and cleaned all surfaces to a perfect smoot surface, and removed a blob of hard paint from the underside of a bolt. The blob might be the reason I couldn't get pressure. A little awkward, but now it...

    Can't get pressure on front brakes

    Thanks for your reply. Yep, the pistons are the correct way: With the hollow part out. I don't think the bleeders are at fault as I open and close them every time I pull the lever. This is what I do to bleed: 1: pull the lever all the way in, 5 times and hold it in 2: open the bleeder valve...

    Can't get pressure on front brakes

    Hey fellow riders, I have a problem I can't figure out. My front brakes wont pressurize. I've bled a lot of brakes during my time, and have never had problems with this before. This is what I did: - removed both calipers (they were working perfectly before) - dismantled everyting, keeping...

    Bought a kit to convert to naked: Fz6 '2005 - Failed

    Thanks for the reply. It seems like the frame was bent a few places, making it seem not to fit (did not look unnatural). I had to do some modifications around the speedo, but visually that is not possible to see now with the end result. I'm working on the wiring harness now, and I'm not really...

    Bought a kit to convert to naked: Fz6 '2005 - Failed

    I was looking forward to converting my Fz6 to naked after completely wasting my fairings on some low speed tarmac jumping up on me... I bought this:For Yamaha FZ6N 2004-2006 2005 FZ6S Fazer Headlight Set Head Light Assembly New | eBay After starting to put it all together I met a few bumps...

    Coils possibly gone bad?

    Solution: ECU had moisture in it, causing both coils to fail. Also my TB was out of place, and needed adjusting. ECU was cleaned, coils replaced and now it's somewhat fine. It was perfect for a week or three, but the ECU seems to have taken permament damage, as some of the symptoms have come...

    Going wild: hold levers - but what else?

    Yes, I definitely agree townsends. I'm starting with the levers, chain and brake lines or calipers. I saw something else cool: inner back splash guard painted in a different color. Not something I would do now, especially not as I want it minimalistic but cool.

    Going wild: hold levers - but what else?

    This is semi naked, as my fairings are broken. Just made it work after a small accident, so I could keep using the bike. I'm going to do a full naked conversion soon. :) Also, I actually think my new chain is gold too. I ordered it a while back, so I cant remember for sure, but that would be...

    Going wild: hold levers - but what else?

    Hello fellow riders, I just went wild and ordered gold levers for my '05 Fz6! - very exciting. I've never been the person to show of and usually like to go original and not showing of with extras. What more could I do? I'm planning on doing a naked rebuild on my FZ, and it's grey and bkack...

    Coils possibly gone bad?

    I forgot about the ECU, but my local garage did not: I figured out the problem here, with help from a local garage: Throttle body needed adjustment ECU contacts had verdigris on contacts Verdigris caused Coil damage to Coil firing cyl. 2 & 3 This caused my problems. New coil...

    Coils possibly gone bad?

    Sorry for being slow. Ive checked everything I can, and need a garage to help me. There's a 3w waiting time for an appointment, so no cruising for me. Based on Mye explanation the garage also suspects the sensor to be at fault.

    Coils possibly gone bad?

    Thanks FinalImpact. I did a spark-test, where all plugs fired nicely with a clear blue spark. To me, and a few I've spoken to, this indicates that the problem most likely is not on coils/wiring. Perhaps ECU. I will take your suggestion to consideration when I get the bike back together, but...

    Coils possibly gone bad?

    Thanks for the quick replies! Problems are identical with first answer. I checked with diagnose, and I don't have readings within the parameters specified for the throttle. I get 19 on no throttle, and 104 on max. Should be between13-16 and 94-100 if I remember correctly. Also: fuel is...

    battery totally discharged, twice

    Sorry, I forgot about this thread for a while. In retrospect i suspect my stator was not at fault: I did not know of parking lights when the key is turned beyond the steering lock. That might have drained it.

    Coils possibly gone bad?

    Hello fellow riders, I turn to you for hope! My Fz6 '05 doesn't run smoothly. It's been staggering for a while, and I've had some problems with power loss, and rough idling with drops from 1300rpm to 900rpm, and even stalling on idle. (VIDEO OF PROBLEM) I've fiddled about for a while now...
