Long time no post. I will do by best to explain this issue. I store my bike (2004 Fazer) in my garage with radiant (kept at 48 in the winter - I am in Vermont). This battery is a few years old. I did not have it on a tender but started the bike once a week. Come spring, I stopped doing so and...
Finally got around to changing my sparkplugs and checking all four caps (after about 2 years..). I only ride a few thousand a year so was in no rush, but the vibrations were there. My bike is about 8500 miles and I wasn't sure if they had ever been changed. I had already tightened caps 3 and 4...
Got around to testing. Fully charged the battery was about 12.53. I took it straight from the charger to the bike. Upon hitting the starter, it went down to about 4.5, then returned to about 10.5 after that. I tried a second time and it went even lower. I don't have a receipt, but I wonder if...
Not sure where to post this, and I am having similar issues. I had a few issues with my bike starting this summer, and trickle charging solved the problem. I eventually just replaced the battery (not with OEM). This immediately solved the problem. I was riding about 2x a week and didn't have any...
Could anyone advise if I would have issues splicing BikeVis Red Bullets after having installed the Motodynamic Tail Light? I have the white forward facing daytime running lights and really like them. Would like a bit of additional light in the rear.
Caught you turning into the Hannafords plaza off of Route 20. 06+, blue rim tape, blue wind screen. Just saying 'Hello!' if you are on here somewhere. I was actually in my *cough* Toyota Corolla. I'd say let's meet up, but I am moving in 2 weeks.
Nice gold visor, by the way!
I am moving from MA to VT at the end of the month. I'll be loading up a 15' or 17' Uhaul for the trip. Depending on how much room is left, I am planning on putting my fazer in the back. Or, put it in first, and work around it.
Does anyone have experience doing this, and/or could you give some...
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the Wiki just has poor grammar.
'The FZ6 in 2006 has a revised engine, frame, subframe, grabhandle, rear swingarm and wheels are painted in black.'
Does that mean as of '06, all those parts are black? For some reason I thought that started with the '07.
I'm not sure what 'YOU HAVE to PULL THE LONG SPC Assembly from the head ' means. The spark plug head? if so, I did do that. Am I spinning the whole assembly, grasping the PRB? Sorry - I just don't want to go twisting the wrong thing..
Edit: Found this earlier in the thread. Third time through...
So I pulled out #4 just to take a gander, can you confirm this for me (I'm a visual learner..)
In my attached picture, does the red arrow point to the HTL wire that I hold, and the orange arrow point to the cap that I spin clockwise (to tighten)?
Is the other picture the end of the HTL wire...
I can't remember if it did this in the fall when I got it, as I only had it a few weeks. I wonder if I didn't tighten something properly when I did the bd43 mod earlier in the spring. The air box was a b*tch to get off but I thought I got it back on pretty well. To be continued!
Can a Yamaha dealer search for my bike's history by VIN to see if the sensor has been replaced? Or is there a way I can check? I can't seem to find info about this on here.
My idle fluctuates up and down about 1.5k rpms, somewhere between 500 and 2000, I'm not sure if that is normal or not...
I've got pretty heavy vibrations under my ass when I get above 6k rpm and it increases as they rpms increase. I may have to take a peak at this and inspect my spark plugs at the same time.
This is my first bike so it'll be a good learning experience..most of my mods have been on the...
