    R6 Fork Kit

    It’s common knowledge that the R6 fork conversion is the holy grail of upgrades for the FZ6. It’s not a difficult conversion but sourcing some special parts is always the show stopper for most. CL Mototech has developed an R6 fork conversion kit for the FZ6 and it looks very complete. At...

    Slip-on exhaust

    Regular fiberglass insulation works too, but gets carbon fouled and gross over time. The SS is less maintenance (and can be cleaned with brake cleaner).

    Slip-on exhaust

    They do look awesome. You can quiet them down by wrapping the baffle inserts with stainless steel wool and wrapping that with stainless wire, like safety wire. I’ve done it before and it works well.

    Stuck between a rock and a nice place .. but still stuck

    Paul, you note that you changed the fork springs to RaceTech, but did you also install Gold Valve Emulators? The straight-rate springs are intended to work as a system with the GVE. The Street Triple is a great bike and has a superior suspension to the FZ. A friend has a similar vintage 675 and...

    Slip-on exhaust

    I have the same exhaust. Decided that the exhaust with the baffles sounds sweet..and then obnoxious without

    That separator is part of the tail light assembly and should be secured to the tail light assembly with bolts.

    Prime and crank but no start

    I think time spent with the wiring schematic, and understanding the continuity of the outputs of your ignition switch, will enable to see if the switch is compatible with the harness.

    Prime and crank but no start

    Honestly, with a non-matching aftermarket ignition switch...who knows what's going on. It's all just guessing at this point.

    Question Misfire at low revs

    The FZ6 frame is actually left and right hand sides that are bolted to the engine and come together at the head stock. I would check the bolts on the head stock to confirm that they aren’t loose or worse, cracked from the prior accident. Another thing to check would be the upper and lower...

    Miscellaneous Ramblings

    Funny, the 990 SMT was also on my short list. KTM’s financial difficulties, and the stories of horrible warranty support, removed it from my list. I think it may be possible that motorcycles peeked in the 2000-2015 period, and that manufacturers are just adding mostly useless electronics to...

    Miscellaneous Ramblings

    I sold my red 2006 FZ6N that I bought from member Marc a few years back. I just couldn't justify keeping it. Since it was completed last summer I put 6 miles on it. It was just taking up space in my garage. I listed it at 9am, and it was in the back of someones truck at 1pm. I've never seen a...

    Need Help 2007 Yamaha FZ6 no crank issue

    Did this bike have a wreck at some point? I have never heard of a stator that suddenly interfered with the rotor. I have seen aftermarket stators that didn’t fit properly…but they don’t change shape. Has this stator delaminated?
