chain

Can you use the stock 520 118 chain for the 15/48 combo or do you have to bump up to a 120 chain? I just recieved a D.I.D Vx2 118 chain and just realized that it might be too short.

Folks, I'm looking to get rid of some old FZ6 parts that have been taking up space in the attic. Everything was removed from a 2007 FZ6: All prices include shipping. PM me if interested or with best offer. Exhaust system, no damage, good condition: $60 Levers, no damage, good...

I had my chain replaced recently, by a mechanic. As I drove it afterward, it made a whining sound that got worse with speed. I wound up driving about 50 miles on it, this way, before I decided it wasn't just the new chain that was noisy, but rather, that the chain tension was too high. I...

Is anyone in the SE WI area and would be willing to help me swap my chain and sprockets? I can't complain as it's been 40k miles on the originals from new. :) I've already got the sprockets and chain (stayed with factory ratio and chain size) so all I'd really need is a little guidance and a...

As title, there is often a few clicky sounds under hard acceleration from a stop light. I didn't find out about it until I changed my chain recently, as there was other noise from the worn chain (apparently) that was masking it. I did not change the sprockets, because they actually still look...

I'm a new rider with a 2008 FZ6. Last time I was cleaning my chain, I realized that when I put the bike on its center stand and let it run in any gear except neutral, the chain bounces vertically up and down. Is this normal? I checked the slack specs and they check out as stated per manual.

Hello everyone. I've been lurking for awhile and wanted to get feedback on my plans for my bike. I bought a 2007 a few months ago and have already put 4000 miles on the clock. Here's an old ad with some pictures...

So, I've been paying attention to all the pre-ride checks that are suggested and making the needed adjustments as my skill allows. My chain tension is a recurring problem and I've corrected it other times but because I've only been riding a few summers, I don't have a lot of experience /...

Looking to replace my chain and researched o-ring vs x-ring chains. The x-ring chains seem to offer up more efficiency for a bigger price. What chains do you recommend? I was looking at the DID brand These are the options I found...

Hello guys, We had a weekend trip to TOD over the weekend, which was 850 miles, before the trip started, I lubed the chain, and didn't lube it in the middle of my trip. Now, I see the chain is bouncing, a bit. It was a bit bouncy, after lubing it, the bounciness reduced a bit, but it is still...

I got 45k miles on my original chain and sprockets. When I replaced with OEM chain and sprockets I was able to get a Master link from Yamaha dealer so that I could install the chain without removing the swingarm. Now, 25k miles since, my chain started clunking like it was wore out. Since...

Hi, I picked up my barn find 2005 FZ6 and have been hunting on here for anything about adjusting the chain. Ive found some threads about cleaning the chain and the correct amount of slack, however I was hoping an experienced owner could post a how to for chain adjustment. My bike did not come...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWZI8-ojMrg&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop Noticed this this morning when backing my bike out of the driveway. Video makes it sound louder and sharper than it is. Yesterday I put a Penske shock in the rear - cannot say for sure if it was making this noise...

I laid my 09 fz 6 over and now there is a dime size hole in the timing chain cover {oil pump cover}. I removed the cover today and found a lot of sand and silt everywhere inside the housing. What is my best course of action?

Hey guys thanks for taking the time to answer my question, So i left my bike in the garage over the winter and I (irresponsibly) did not lube it so the chain is real stiff and has some seized links and sounds horrible. I want to change the chain, I've read that the stock length is 118 links, I...

Anyone know the oem spec size for the front and rear sprocket, and for the length of the chain on the 2005? Its not in the manual and my googling has given me mixed results. I know this info should be online somewhere but I cant find it. If it is just a link would be cool. Problem is there are...

For those of you that check the slack in your chain, do you notice that these bikes have alot of slack? My reason for asking is when I was getting the bike safetied the mechanic who is a friend pointed out the chain seems really loose, but that he didnt know for sure because he doesnt know the...

So I just re-shimmed all my exhaust valves, went very well... then came setting the timing because I was dumb and didnt ziptie the chain to the other sprockets, so the timing was off when I reinstalled the exhaust cam. I have the two cam timing marks perfectly opposing each other, the T on...

Hello all, So I noticed that when I actually do the speed limit (ha ha) on the freeway my MPG went up. Doing 65 MPH for a 300 mile stretch nets me about 58-59 miles per gallon at about 5500 RPM. When I was going faster I was only getting about 50 MPG. I went back and looked at posts to the...

So I'm heading back down to college for my third year this coming saturday and I'm finally bringing my bike with me. I've got a cover on the way, and I'm going to pick up a Xena XX10 disc lock. So my question is this: Do you guys think I'm under-doing it? I want to also buy something like a...
