    Valve Clearance ADJUSTMENT

    Used this quarantine as an opportunity to check my valve clearance...like quite a few folks have done recently. I was way overdue - 52K miles, first time it was done. (This how-to guide thread was fantastic. Thanks to all contributors! Would have been quite the adventure without it.) The job...

    Location of indicators flashing relay fz6n 2007

    Good find. NOTE: It may have not been back in one of the pods originally...depending on the year of your bike. My flasher relay (bike is 2005) is located near the front left turn signal, mounted inside the faring. Yours was probably there also, hence the reason it was shoved where it was when...

    Need help, front and rear fenders 2005 FZ6

    If I recall, both fenders for the 05 color bikes are black (Dark purple blue metallic and Bluish Silver are the official names). But they appear to have different part numbers, which makes me think I'm wrong on that. In any case, I have an 05 Silver, and replaced the front fender with part...

    Need Help 2004 FZ6S - replacement Ignition lock

    Maybe try spraying a good spray lubricant into the lock, I mean really saturate the lock...fill it up...then work it through it's positions many times to see if it loosens up. If that fails, you could get a brand new lock mechanism and have a locksmith re-key it for your existing keys, instead...

    Naked converted FZ6, how could I go about getting low and high beam functionality?

    Some additional information that may be helpful. My LED replacement H4 bulb is designed to run both the high beam and lo beam circuits simultaneously. All you would need to do to get Hi/lo function back in your single H4 is to feed your unused lo beam power to the connector. Prior to...

    New Bike Time?

    You can analyze the new bike purchase purely financially...and in that case it DOES NOT make sense, as your current ride has nothing wrong with it and accomplishes what you need it to do. On the other hand, if finances allow and you can afford a new bike without sacrificing something...I say go...

    ~~~ What did you do to your Bike Today Thread??? ~~~

    Recently hit a gap in the pavement, you know when they remove a two foot section to run a pipe or line of some sort under the road. Usually maintenance crews put a steel plate over the gap or maybe even gravel fill until it can be permanently patched. Not this time. I didn't notice it until...

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    I just installed this one two weeks ago, <$9 shipped. I already had a cigarette lighter style outlet that I plugged a usb charger into. This just made it simpler. Works great...

    4 Degree Ignition Advancer Rotor Pick Up

    I did! Throttle is a bit less twitchy. As for power, can't say there was a huge difference in 1st or second... But it definitely seems to pull harder in 3rd/4th. I will say that I initially did not heed the advice of running a higher octane gas. There was no issue until hot summertime...

    '07 Red Fairings and/or windscreen WTB

    $50 for a brand spanking new wind screen from Partzilla. (I painted mine black also. Looks better...light doesn't need to pass through, you don't look out through the screen. I've since replaced with a black Puig screen.)...

    Headlights And understanding.

    My LED's do the same automatic switching off the low beam when hi beam is active. Wanted to chime in earlier but I'm not sure all LED H4's have this auto switching baked in. Good luck!

    Fuel pump and/or level float

    They're the same. Another thread has a good aftermarket option, will save you a ton of $$$$... https://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/59245-fuel-pump-rebuild.html Edit: as pointed out below- I misunderstood your question. Ignore pump assembly link in this post!

    Replacing plug on side of crankcase

    I've done this...And asked the same question prior. There's oil, but not under pressure and a very small amount. The timing chain is behind this panel and is bathed in oil. You will probably just see a light coating or even a drop or two on the back of the old part when removed. No...

    Smell of raw gas after rides

    Just my experience, but I had the same gas smell for the past couple of years and couldn't figure out what changed. But last week I went to change the mid-point clutch adjustment, which involves lifting the tank and removing the airbox for access. Noticed that one of my hoses was disconnected...

    50,000 Miles Club

    I'm finally in! Bought used in 2012 with 10K on the clock. Thought the miles would rack up faster than this. Need to ride more! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    FZ6 handlebar end mirrors

    You could buy a new set of bars with hollow ends for about $25. Plenty out there to choose from. For example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KKDQXI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Changing the bars adds a little bit of work but not much - search this forum...
