    Fork oil volume/level?

    Before I changed my fork oil today I did a search to find out how much I needed to put back in. I found a forum post that it took 497 mL per tube. I had a one liter container so I split it, almost all, between the two. The level looked kind of high; if I compressed the fork to the bottom, the...

    Erburtt - A Cool Guy I'd Ride With

    Went out a couple of days back to meet with Erburtt who had so kindly offered to let me use his manometer after mine suffered some uh... Technical difficulties. I braved some chancy weather to make the hour and a half ride to his house, and right away we got down to business and he helped to...

    After a hiatus, I'm back with a vengeance...

    Hi all, Some of you may remember me from this forum, I was a fairly active member here for about two years. I used to have a 2009 FZ6 in Fastest Black and before that an '85 KLR600 was my faithful (if not gutless) first steed. Well I sold that Fazer and said my goodbyes to the motorcycle...

    Greetings from oklahoma

    Hi everyone the names Riley. I just recently traded my cbr250 for a 04 FZ6 and I'm loving it. It was pretty banged up when I got it and I am slowly doing all the maintance to get it back up to brand new again. If there is anyone on here from Oklahoma let me know so we can go ride one day.

    Anyone every take apart the Fuel Pump and have it work afterwords?

    So I took out my fuel pump, troubleshooting a crappy running bike. I wanted to check the screen for debris. So I get it apart, clean screen material with compressed air, re-assemble. I get it all back together and now the bike won't run when giving any throttle. It does start and idle...

    Speedometer corrector problem

    My 06 FZ6 is making me crazy! Short-story-long Years ago I re-geared (15-48) and it made the speedo even worse than stock. So I bought a SpeedoHealer v3 and set it up. No problems with it at all until late last fall. It started to lose its settings so that the speedo always read 0, no...

    New owner: things to check?

    First post! I just picked up a 2006 FZ6 with 20,000 miles tonight. This is my first bike since going without for 8 months (2004 FJR1300). I'm excited to be back on 2 wheels. Is there anything that I should check on the bike before considering it totally ready to ride? The only modification...

    High Beam

    While riding my high bean indicator comes on and off by itself. When its off the switch works and when it turns on by itself, if i rock the switch on and back off it stays on till it decides to turn back off. I assume the vibration has something to do with it. Also, I have not ridden at night...

    Back after long time... Confused and in need of advice..

    Hi all!! I user to be on this forum a couple of year back but the combination of having our first baby, buying a place and switching jobs all within a year meant that the Fazer (and the forum visits) stopped cold. First things first... I am sure this site was called fz6-forums... what the...

    I've sipped the Kool aide and like it

    Hey all, I'm new to the forum and just getting back to riding after taking 18 months off. I had to sell my previous bike, a 2008 Harley Nightster, to pay for some of the wifey's medical bills. I got a rather large bonus this year so I decided to get a new bike. I wasn't looking for a FZ6...

    Tucson Area FZ6ers...

    Thought I'd put the word out about a new group I formed over the Xmas holiday. There has been a serious lull in the number of organized rides available to sport riders in the Tucson area so I decided to take it upon myself to bring them back...

    New 2008 FZ6 Owner - Some Questions (RPM, Clutch, Maintenance)

    Heya folks, really glad to be here and moreso than that I'm excited to get out riding this new bike of mine come spring. I picked up a 2008 FZ6 with only 11,000KM on it from an older rider who seems to have taken really good care of it as far as I can tell. There's a tinted windscreen, HID...
