I went to change my spark plugs and this is the old one found in cylinder one. I have taken apart the rest but haven’t pulled the old spark plugs out. The job required more time than I had so the other three will have to wait until tomorrow morning. Is this rust bad/concerning? I can post...

Yes, I believe I am feeling the clutch being worn...I'll take it out once the roads are dry and test it out again.

The tank has been kreemed about a year ago. I've been skeptical about it ever since I did it. When Idling it seems like it revs low enough that the engine could shut off but it doesn't. When it first gear the bike also feels like its having trouble moving forward when I'm not applying any...

Thanks for all the help everyone! After waiting a week for the parts to come in it’s all fixed. And the feeling I was feeling before is now gone. The front sprocket was so insanely worn out. Sadly, the bike is now acting weird. It feels as if it’s taking it much longer to get up to speed. It...

My front sprocket is stuck pretty bad. Tried standing on the broken chain while the bike was in gear and it kept moving on me. The bolt seems pretty rusted. Not sure what to do. Thanks

I just checked the chain and it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with it from what I can see (Maybe i just suck at seeing it). but ill just replace it anyway. If I'm doing all of this should I also just replace the rear wheel bearing as well? Also, thank you so much for your help!!

Thank you for this. I fixed the chain slack as it was very very loose. However, the feeling is still there. The tire seems to be fine in my opinion. What else could this be?

Okay, I will have someone checkout the tire. Mt tires are year old and they have about 8,000 miles on them. There road 5's I believe. I tightened my chain and it seemed to help a bit.

So when I ride my bike on the high way (this only happens on the highway) I feel a slightly shaking or rumbling feeling mostly from the pegs and rear of the bike. It feels like I am riding on a slightly bumpy road I guess is the best way to describe it. From what I've gathered this is probably...

Changed the kill switch today and its working perfectly now!...boy was that one hell of a job taking out the battery and air filter unit. I hope to god I never have to do that again. Thanks for the tips really appreciate it. Cheers!

Hey all I have a 2005 fz6. I recently changed my handle bars and added side fairings. Recently the bike has been having issues starting. When I turn the bike on sometimes it has trouble priming. But after a few times of hitting the kill switch and turning the key it will eventually prime and...

Hello all, a couple months back I got some side fairings on eBay and I have decided I want to get them painted. I’ve been calling around all the local auto body shops for quotes and every place I’ve called wants $800 plus to paint them. I found a guy through a friend who’s willing to paint...

Gotcha, and are the rust flakes that are in the liner okay to be there? The liner has an anti-rust compound correct?

The tank is currently drying with the liner solution. There is still some rust flakes within the sealer and the sealer is kind of pooling in a certain spot on the inside. It’s starting to dry and get tacky so I can’t move the clump at all. Is there anything I should do here? I attached some...

Should I do this before using the kreme solution? its a 3 step process for rust.

So I finally got around to pulling my gas tank off my bike. I bought it off of my uncle 2 months ago and it has been sitting in my garage up until last week when I got my license. I have been riding the bike for the past week to let it run as my uncle put a new fuel pump in the bike before I...

Thanks for the link. I saw this as well a few days ago but was very frustrated that it I would have to buy a whole new cap. Ill check a plumbing store after work today. If I cant find something comparable maybe one of the cheaper ($15-$30) models on ebay or amazon would be fine to just use the...

As the title says. What is this rubber seal called and where can I buy one? It’s definitely a bit bent out of shape from the bikes long slumber and is not fully sealing around the gas tank opening. if I move the bike around while I’m working on it I can definitely smell gas.

Thank you. I’ll definitely let you know in the coming days.

Ahhh I see. So the FZ1 handle bars are more sporty. If I add 1 inch risers with the FZ1 bar it will place them higher up giving me a more stock bar placement height feel? and if I ever want a more sporty leaned forward style of rising I just take the risers off? thanks for the tip on the...
