    FZ6 N transmission "slack"?

    Hi, It does not seem to be a fuel injection problem, as the engine revs without a hitch, it feels mechanical in nature, I can feel the bike shake a bit when it does get the power applied to the rear wheel. It feels as if the front sprocket starts moving and the rear wheel follows at a tenth of...

    FZ6 N transmission "slack"?

    Evening, Thanks for the quick reply. I've already cleaned the chain with diesel and the slack is within parameters. It can't hurt to check it, I'll measure the slack again, but I distinctly remember doing this when the problem first appeared and the issue remained even after correcting the...

For a while now I've been having some issues with my transmission, the issue was described very well on an aprilia forum, I'll quote the guy as it's the same issue I'm...

    Clutch Cable install Help

    Engine Overheating FZ6-N 2004

    Quick update, sorry about being so damn late: Oil and filter changed, fork oil changed also, it was too soft during a hard brake. Got myself an aftermarket exhaust also and improvised a licence plate holder thanks to a kind stranger that kicked the **** out of my old one while I was inside a...

    Engine Overheating FZ6-N 2004

    Hello fellow FZ6 owners. As this is my first post I would first like to say hello to everyone and wish you all as many miles/kms without problems as you can carry. Now, down to bussines. As the title suggests, my engine "seems" to be overheating, I've had it for about 2 months now, and recently...
