    CBR Electrical Trouble - Rough Idle, Dead Battery, Loose Terminals

    Managed to cobble everything together over 7 hours worth of playing. Up until 2am the other night, skipping meals yesterday just to get it road worthy. I went for broke and changed the oil/filter too considering I had all the plastics and everything else off, so that certainly didn't help.

    CBR Wrenching, Looking For US Riding Buddies

    Got the old girl patched up a little more after some electrical issues. New R/R, plugs, and battery seems to have fixed her up and she's peppy as ever. My 2nd cylinder spark plug had burn marks on the white ceramic part, which makes me suspect it wasn't seated fully. The threads in the plug...

    Looking to buy FZ6 0 Full fairing kit

    These fairing kits are very rare, even including belly pans. I know this because I searched high and low for them, and didn't have any luck. You're going to have to dig deeper on the internet, check the forums here and elsewhere, post that you want to buy them, etc. New ones haven't been made...

    Unable to shift into 1st gear

    Going to throw it out there before others are able to help you: Does it change if the bike is on or off? Hot or cold? Did you do anything abnormal prior to this problem happening? Have you tried rocking the bike back and forth a bit while trying to drop it into gear? Clutch freeplay? (sort...

    1999 Honda CBR 600 F4

    She certainly looks pretty, dude. Tempting if not for the fact I've got my F4i!

    Two Brothers M2 Carbon Fiber Exhaust - $500

    I've got a set of red P1 baffles for those pipes if anyone is interested. Would be willing to part with them for like $30 + Shipping. Made a world of difference when I still had mine.

    CBR Electrical Trouble - Rough Idle, Dead Battery, Loose Terminals

    Affirmative. I'll put it on a tender overnight before dropping it in. Thanks for passing the info along, much obliged!

    Thanks for the birthday wishes! This was the last place I was expecting to see them, haha!

    CBR Electrical Trouble - Rough Idle, Dead Battery, Loose Terminals

    Going to put the new battery in, which is pre-charged from the store (as the guy told me) and really tighten her down - more properly than I've ever done. Going to borrow a voltmeter from my neighbour and check the readings hopefully tomorrow, and get a set of fresh plugs in to spice things up...

    CBR Electrical Trouble - Rough Idle, Dead Battery, Loose Terminals

    Heya guys. Been having an issue now for a little while in which my idle is periodically rough for seemingly no reason, the bike is having a harder and harder time starting, and finally - it's died on me twice in the last two days, after slow bouts in traffic. Once it's running and I'm moving...

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    Hmm. Well, I'll tear it apart and go ahead. How much oil comes out from removing the clutch cover, usually? Not oil change worthy, right?

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    Most people got some sort of loud rattle when the bike was running - which doesn't help me in this case, unfortunately. I only get the little one when I let the clutch out, with the bike off to hear it. Nothing worsens when riding or the likes, which is peculiar. Might tear it apart when I get a...

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    Perch is good. I used some Dri Slide on the spring, in addition to a touch of grease, and it doesn't seem to have had any effect. All that moves is the arm, the spring, and the cable. It definitely seems to be, and sounds like it's internal. Oil levels are good as far as I'm aware.

    Rear Brake Super Soft After Wheel Removal & Brake Work

    I know that when I replaced my rotors, to re-seat the brake pads and alignments (much the same as you'd do following pad replacement) there was a step to squeeze the lever really hard and set everything evenly. My lever very quickly went from zero to being solid like a rock - and then I think I...

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    Sky cleared up so I took 'er out. Funny enough, I seem to have found a slightly modified clutch free play that works better than the last one - and I don't think a single sloppy shift was had. The squeak is still there, to a lesser degree after my return, but there's no abnormal noise from the...

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    2002 CBR600F4i Sport model (two seats, slightly more racy cams/better valve springs, etc) Clutch was shared throughout: Honda Motorcycle Parts 2002 CBR600F4 A CLUTCH ('01-'06) Diagram I just went downstairs and poked around a bit, tried cleaning/lubing, and adjusting free play but the noise is...

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    I had a time where it'd slip high up in the revs, so I tweaked it off slightly and had no more slipping - and no weird noise. Seems to have appeared last night though - some damn gremlins or whatnot. I'll poke around with it and try that with my buddy soon, although I'm pretty sure I've got it...

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    I realize this isn't Fizzer related, but I'm trying to discern a quirk I noticed this morning on my 600F4i. When I let the clutch lever out, I can hear a sort of springy, "sproing" type sound from the clutch basket somewhere. Rolling the bike, putting it in gear, turning it on - it still makes...

    Sold the FZ6 . . .

    I'm lost as to how you find the FZ6 uncomfortable. You're almost entirely upright - swap out an FZ1 bar or something and voila. Then again, to each his own.
