I saw this last night as well: https://www.amazon.com/Caltric-Starter-for-Yamaha-5Eb-81890-00-00/dp/B081K65W3R I just have an innate suspicion when the OEM sells for $360+ on the low side, how can a reasonable facsimile cost $50? Has anyone ever used 'Caltric' stuff?

You took the words right out of my mouth.... I just finished for the night. I pulled the throttle bodies and removed the starter. After looking up the price and availability of a new starter, I figured I had nothing to lose, so I broke the starter down. One of the brushes are pretty worn and...

Thanks Cliff. Update: I probed the output lead from the starter relay and it goes from 0 to 12.98 volts when the starter is pushed. Then I built myself a jumper and went from the battery + terminal to the starter and nothing. I will likely order a starter tomorrow. I am also going to try...

Reassembling the bike after painting the sub frame, and I think my starter crapped out in the interim. After putting her back together Monday night, she started right up. But after waxing her tonight she will not crank. Here is what is happening. Turning on the key everything is normal...

Crap Kenny, sorry to hear about the Ducati. That really sucks. I am sure Scott will reply, but I believe he is recommending you remove the plugs and leave them out while you add the oil in the cylinders and crank to distribute it. You cannot hydro lock if the plugs are out. Pistons would...

Does anyone remember an old thread where someone tore down the IACV? I thought it was @FinalImpact (whatever happened to him?) but I did some searching and came up empty. I am interested in seeing the inside of it, as long as it's someone else's :)

WOW!!!! Reminds me of my 2005 when I first got it in 2012 with 3,000 miles on it. Beautiful condition. And welcome to the best FZ6 forum in the whole world. The members here have an enormous amount of knowledge from repair to modifications and everything in between.

When you replace the CCT, start by taking the timing cover off the right side of the engine. Once off, first make sure the pin on the rear chain guide (RED arrow in photo) is through the guide and in its hole in the engine. Then use a zip tie around the front and rear guides to squeeze the...

I too stopped watching Yammie Noob. I am tired of all the 'influencers' telling me what to think. But in this case I think he is spot on..... :)

Ok, it's the internet, and we all know hat there is a LOT of crap out there (with the exception of some GREAT forums like this one :) ). Yammie Noob named the top 10 used motorcycles of the last 25 years, and the FZ6 is the first mentioned.....

I think you need a 'GPSHealer' :)

Ouch. Seen this before..... Not good

You say you did some electrical work. Can you tell us what you did and more importantly, HOW you did it? Where in the harness did you tap in?

Thanks fellow dude :)

Thanks Scott.

Thanks everybody..... I am committed to continue my riding even as my TMB progresses.......

The only difference between he an I is that it takes me about 5 Martinis before I start to walk like that :)

Could you post or point us to the install guide? Might be helpful to see what the garage was 'trying' to do, assuming that it was done wrong...

There is a post somewhere on this forum about making your own tb sync tool. I built one years ago and used it fairly successfully. Eventually I had trouble 'maintaining' it (ATF staining the hoses, wood drying out, etc.). I bought a Morgan Carbtune after that... and never looked back. Great...

Another place to check is on the right side engine cover where the lead from the crank sensor leaves the engine. I had an issue years ago where the sealant around the grommet was old and water was allowed to seep onto the sensor. After washing the bike, it would misfire. After a few minutes...
