The Fizzer has virtually no torque below 4K RPM and the clutch friction zone really narrow. That's the downside of an R6 derived engine and sport bike clutch for quick shifts. On the flip side, it's a very rewarding bike if you're determined enough to master it, especially the motor. Give it...

You must be able to trace the fluid. It's either fork oil or brake fluid if it indeed came from your bike's front end. If you have a blown fork seal, there would be a thin film of oil from pumping the forks. It would also be prone to leaking tipped on the side stand for the left leg. If it's...

OK the forks look stock. The leak in the first pic is likely to be the seal and they're more likely to blow after drying out without the lubrication that the fork oil offers. Can you trace back the oil back to the fork dust cap? I don't see how it could be anything else really. Perhaps you have...

As Scott said, it looks you have alien components. More pics including wider shots would be helpful.

Yes it's common for the seals to leak if the bike sits for an extended period, especially if not garaged. A new set is ~$30. Good time to change the fork oil and also change springs to suit rider weight if needed.

Hmm pretty sure he didn't order a new engine assembly from the Yamaha parts fische. I don't think they keep a spare engine bin. :D

You should check the tire age by the date code and for dry rot. Generally the tires should be less than 5 years old. Fresh rubber can transform a bike. If the bike was left ungaraged and uncovered, the tires can bake in the sun and crack prematurely (dry rot).

Welcome to the forum. Yep, the TB is apocalyptically loud! You might want to think about buying stock or scorpion cans then you'll break even or better when you sell the TB.

That's good. At minimum pressure, if you feel any squirm from the rear, add some air. Some tires have more sidewall flex than others. Be sure to find out the answer the stability question. We all want you to be safe.. and stop dropping our bike Blah

OK, but I wouldn't assume that the lowered condition of the bike is the only cause of instability. You, what you do and how you do it is the biggest variable. The FZ6 is inherently a very stable bike with a long wheelbase and very few people have ever added a steering damper. It takes a lot...

+1 glad you're ok. Do not ride that bike until you have it fully checked out: Levers, clutch cable, shifter linkage, front brake calipers, de-lower the bike. Don't take it on the highway until you're certain the bike is sorted- one good ride is not enough as you've learned. 1. Do...

Congrats on the new steed! :rockon:

Welcome to the forum. 1. Make sure your clutch cable is well adjusted for point of engagement and in good condition- lubed and not frayed anywhere. If it's damaged, replace with OEM Yamaha only. 2. Check the shift rod adjustment that changes the angle of the shifter. It has less adjustment...

Welcome cook.675 and manco Check the age of the tires and work through changing all the fluids.

Yup. Be careful. I hate seeing all the motorcycle crashes in the news during the first few weeks of nice weather.

You've come this far. You'll get the b*stard. :thumbup:

1. Prices too good to be true 2. About US page says it's a fashion site 3. FAQ is French 4. Domain is Chinese and only registered in January 2018. 5. Weird site name 6. Nothing on the site states where they actually are based Run away. Only order from reputable sites.

Happy Birthday!! I hope you get a ride in :thumbup::rockon:
