I have a red FZ6 gas tank off a 2007. It leaks from overflow tubes but holds at least 1/2 tank. Was contemplating trying to fix it but just bought a new tank. Before I throw it out, I thought maybe someone here can use it for something or fix it for their own bike. Only will to do a...

Hello again...just wanted to reply with an update... Not much of an update...I can't figure it out and give up. :confused: Showed a friend my issue (he's somewhat mechanically inclined) and he said the clunk doesn't sound normal but maybe the aftermarket pads I put in (EBC) were loose in...

TownsendsFJR1300 is describing what's happening...at least from what I can tell. It's not much play like it's flopping around but it's enough that if I roll the bike and apply the rear brake, I hear a clunk. That's what led me to go shaking on the caliper and I narrowed it down to an issue...

The caliper mounting bracket groove is in the swing arm tongue. It seems to just be rotating around the 12mm caliper mounting bolt (sort of like if you were just replacing pads, removing the 12mm bolt and swinging the caliper up). With the 12mm in place (and everything else), there seems to be...

Working on my brakes and know exactly what you're talking about. See attached picture...It's not that clear but if you zoom in you can see it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses. I got around to changing the caliper seals...it seems I was having a seizing caliper issue as my pads looked cooked with small chunks missing and the pad shims were warped with some "blue-ing" heat spots. I still get the same number of rotations though so it's...

Hi all! Trying to figure out a potential problem on the rear of my 2007 FZ6 and was wondering how many rotations you get on the rear wheel when spinning it with your hand while on the center stand? I think I have a sticking caliper because my rear rotor gets hot with minimal use so I...

Yes you can keep your plates without insurance. Queens here as well.

As Erci said, cutting out the wind helps tremendously. The last couple of seasons, I took my bike out in 50's weather and was freezing with a leather jacket, thermals and a bunch of layers after 15 minutes. This season, I got the bright idea to use some windbreakers and ride down to 30's...
