Your experience may vary, but I gapped mine with a quarter-style gapper when I first installed them. No problems whatsoever for the past few years. I do have a new set on the way though I'll try to not regap the new ones and see what happens.

TPS = throttle position sensor. Some bikes from either 04 or 05(someone chime in) had a problem with theirs and they were recalled. It would cause the bike to die randomly.

I'm pretty sure the "reed valve assembly" is part of the Air Injection System, which is a smog system that puts air into the exhaust stream to burn unburnt fuel.

I've got a red 07 on my 06. they fit just fine.

The only part that's the same is the headlights, everything else is different.

I bought a tube of Yamaha black touch up paint and painted my scratches, but in direct light you can tell the difference between the shades and it's hideous. Nothing beats a full sand/respray.

Lol, I still have May 2010 stickers on mine.

The covers look slightly different, however the FZ6 and the 03-05 R6 use the same GASKET for the stator cover, so I don't see why the R6 one wouldn't fit. Ronayers.com Microfiche Yamaha>Motorcycle>2006>FZS6VC YZ6>CRANKCASE COVER 1 Ronayers.com Microfiche Yamaha>Motorcycle>2005>YZFR6TC...

Ducati's are a lot like Ferarri's, yeah they're ****ing beautiful but they serve no purpose other than to say "Hey guys look at me! I have too much money!"

Yes this is what I was trying to say. Thank you. For what it's worth I loosened the tensioner and those problems went away, which explains parasitic drag.

It's rare that a tensioner will completely fail and let the chain slip. Usually with ours a little plastic retainer inside will fail and allow the tensioner spring to move back in resulting in a lumpy idle, but still keeping tension so the bike runs.

Worst case scenario, you shred the delrin sliders to pieces and stretch your cam chain until it snaps and your engine explodes. Or if it's just "slightly" tight, the life of the sliders and chain will be shortened somewhat. I recently installed the APE tensioner and the one thing I hate is how...

I've spent almost 2k buying through Ronayers so thumbs up for them.

If it's wired correctly like Motogiro said, then it sounds like a short in either the plug or bulb.

Not calling you a liar but I'd like some proof on this. No way with modern synthetics the oils going to decompose just by sitting for 6 months.

Honestly, that's how I ride(well atleast used to) my FZ6. It was my first bike and I ring the hell out of it and beat it up. It runs great, but I'm sure my valves are gonna be off when I check them. So yeah, these engines are almost bulletproof and with a normal rider/highway miles they won't...

Cotter pins on your calipers. I remember someone saying theirs were stolen by disgruntled youth and their brake pads fell out, when most likely they just loosened themselves..

For my leather I use a damp cloth to remove dead bugs and dirt, then rub some leather lotion in.

I did this mod a long time ago. Power increase? Probably not much but I didn't expect to feel a difference. Sound? Yes it's a lot louder and a deep growl, kind of like a short ram intake on a car(I had a short ram on my jeep and it sounded like sex). I definitely noticed people turning to look...

I too have lost my tank bolts due to vibration. Thankfully I was going slow enough that I heard them fall off and clank through the bike, pulled over and found them in the street. Of course it's highly possible someone did it on purpose, but I don't understand the radiator side plate screw...
