How goes it fz6 family, just stopping in to say hey and update y'all on me and my fz1. Like me being the trasher of bikes I am at 21,000 miles I have managed to destroy my clutch and 2nd gear...yay for being ham fisted! A couple 11k launches managed to roast the clutch and more than a few quick...

Good ole El Cheep"O" tuning CO settings, hey wait I did that. Pop your seat, pop your tank and see if you notice and wires attached to the frame or the neg side on the battery that look out of place, that should give you a idea if someone messed with the CO settings.

Out of curiosity is there a way to adjust the TPS on the fz6? I can't remember to be honest but I know there is on my fz1 and being out just the slightest little bit can cause issues

Unless I've missed it it sounds like you've checked just about everything other than the battery connections themselves. If all else seems to be good it wouldn't hurt to check. I know I spent about 3 weeks chasing my problem down going through all the steps you have until I finally looked at the...

Most of the time about the same or .10 more than premium but here in atl were right at the end of pipelines so gas tends to be a bit cheaper

Most sonoco's sell straight gas non ethanol

I was getting extremely good miles on shinko 009's like 8k+ but I'm hesitant to put them on this bike because of their tendency to slip out in the turns. On the 6 they would stick great but if not up to temp it would stick stick stick, screw you I'm gone and drift out. I got use to it on my 6...

I just read your second edit that's probably the problem right there the trottle position sensor, the tps adjust the timing as well. try to hold your throttle just barely cracked open and I bet it will start easy. your engine will still get fuel with it reading - 20 the tps more or less just...

Most hot hard starts are timing advance problems or fueling problems. Most of the time after running it hard and hot its a issue of the fuel getting vaporized before it has a chance to combust so all that fuel that is pumping into the engine while you're trying to start is getting blown straight...

Seriously, I thought this tire would last way longer? WTF man I hate changing tires, too much like work. Anyone else run a Dunlop Roadsmart, what kind of miles did you get? This is about 4500

I had my fz6 throw the 46 code on me a few times after getting it and the previous owner just put a new battery in. Turns on the neg wasn't tight and worked its way loose

Expect the worst hope for the best! That's always been my motto. Well that and when in doubt tach it out but that don't always help lol Sent from my pocket rocket that don't know how to spell

Absolutely gorgeous! I can't see that good in my phone but it is that a transalp in your profile pic? Sent from my pocket rocket that don't know how to spell

The new vfrs have one of imo the best sounds out there, its a hard toss up between the vfr and crossplane r1s for best sound imo of course the vmax has a v4 too and sounds almost as good as hondas v4 Sent from my pocket rocket that don't know how to spell

Yeah its true for both of those, my judgement has been known to be ****ty at times lol kinda like jack russells, especially mine. I yelled squirrel and he got lost Sent from my pocket rocket that don't know how to spell

BTW that tire fund is a great idea!!!........Hint Hint :P Sent from my pocket rocket that don't know how to spell

This is one of the exact reasons I like to scope out a road new or konwn before I really push the bike while riding, you never know what might run out in front of you :spank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhpi3zJl4W0

This is very true, also Ive noticed sometime going around a long sweeping turn the bowls go a little low. Of course that could be it still needing a little help on the carb department:spank:

personally ive always LOVED the way the old carb'd bikes sound, like the old cb 750 and gs1100. that ratty, raspy, rattle your eardrums, loping exhaust note, sounding like it wont ever run smooth or ever be worth a damn but then you hear it go WOT and it sounds as if the devil himself gave those...

Yeah its carb'd and it was missing a little bit but actually flooding. The guy I got it from kind of neglected it over the past 2 years so ive been working out some of the bugs from sitting but it still has one or 2 needle and seats not quite sealing off and flooding, which isnt really a bad...
