    Contemplating getting a FZ6 2005, worth it?

    Being a 04 owner myself I'd go for 06 just for black engine and frame, going further I'd go for 07 for the analog tacho. TPS recall might not be a big deal, it's easy to swap for a used one from a later model and sprocket nut only affected certain VIN ranges, not all years. I do not know what...

    WTB: used exhaust for 04 (europe shipping)

    Hi, I'm searching for a used exhaust but these seem hard to find locally, maybe someone has it for sale in EU, EDIT: looking for aftermarket pipes. Thanks

    Valve clearance check

    Thanks mate! Yeah, I've removed the spark plugs, I've changed them to CR9EIX later anyway (iridium). You are correct, cam lobes should be pointing outwards when checked, I don't remember for your second question sorry, if it's not in the pictures, can't remember. For the adventurous that do...

    Ever wondered, "Which Exhaust Should I buy?"

    Anyone with Devil's and PC3, what map do you guys use? Edit: I've asked Dynojet themselves and they recommended #M410-003 (Leo Vince) or custom tuning.

    Can someone recognize this windscreen please?

    Thanks guys. Yeah, I've contacted them, but rather than telling me the brand they said they have it ready for shipping for such and such price, gotta make a living I know, but not something I've asked them. Edit: actually, I can't beat their price online elsewhere so might order from them in...

    Valve Adjustments, have you had it done?

    I've checked my valves at 29k miles and made a guide for it http://www.600riders.com/forum/how-tos/47593-valve-clearance-check.html All valves were within spec.

    Valve clearance check

    THIS IS A CHECK GUIDE, NO ADJUSTMENT WILL BE DONE Yamaha recommends doing valve check and adjustment if needed every 40 000 km, or 24 000 miles. Mine has nearly 29k miles, I can tell valve clearances were not yet checked on it. Our bikes have inline, liquid cooled, 4 cylinder engines with 4...

    Throttle body removal

    Heya, Everything I found indicates that it's only these 4 clamps on our bikes (R6 as well), I've seen some pics and the rubber "boots" for each TB are rather deep, I guess it just needs more rocking/force. The fuel rail is attached to the TBs, but doesn't look like it's stopping from lifting...

    Tail Light Not Working Anymore.. =(

    Mystery solved.. it was actually: * Faulty multimeter - did not show the voltage * Faulty tail light bulb - lower powered thread was broken * Faulty licence plate bulb - didn't notice at first.

    What would you have or what have you got?

    I don't need a second bike, but when I change FZ6, it will be to an S1000RR.

    Unknown loose connector

    The low beam is working, the high beam was working before, I'm sure it works, but apparently you have to start the bike for it to work, which I for various reasons cannot do at the moment.. Expanding on this, do you have to start the bike for licence plate and tail brake lights to work? Thanks

    Unknown loose connector

    Hi, I have a connector loose with seemingly no female connector for it to be plugged in. It's on the left side of the back fairing, with 4 black/green wires coming to it. Based on the wiring diagram looks like it should have something to do with front high/low beams. Now, I did have MT-03...

    Fz6 Standard version (76hp) dyno

    TownsendsFJR1300, thanks a lot, sorry for asking in multiple threads, I just panicked a bit. But checked my butterfly valves and yeah, they open fully. Thanks again, good to know my fears were baseless.

    Tail Light Not Working Anymore.. =(

    Heya, I have a problem with my tail light (brake light works) and number plate lightning, flashers work. You mention a running light circuit, could you please expand on that, is this one of the relays on the left of the bike, above rear wheel? There are 4 relays there, from left to right...

    It's cold out, will the bike still start?

    I would be surprised if the bike didn't start at temps as low as -50C, provided your battery still has the juice to crank it. I have a diesel and start it at -28C no problems and diesels are loads more sensitive to temperature than petrol machines..

    Which oil and when

    Just got myself 4 liters of Motul 7100, can't wait to see if it lives up to the hype.

    Fz6 Standard version (76hp) dyno

    Can someone having 76hp version please photograph the wheel where throttle cable connects to the throttle bodies? It's on the left side of the motorcycle, spin the throttle and you'll see a cable moving a wheel. I want to see if there's a pin on the wheel visible at full throttle (a restrictor)...

    Valve Adjustments, have you had it done?

    What do you mean by "needs to be adjusted", what other pads can there be except the valve shims, which need replacing when you're adjusting clearance? If you need a thinner shim, some shops in my area can machine sand your old ones to the specified thickness, that's loads cheaper than buying...

    Throttle body removal

    I've loosened the 4 clamp screws under TBs to the point I can feel the clamps are loose, but TBs won't budge. I'm using enough force to rock the bike, but no go - I don't want to break anything. Is there something else holding the thing besides these 4 clamps?
