Hi, I just pulled my bike's manifold and looked it's inside. The #2 cyl's exhaust was black than I inspected the valves with a lamp. I'm waiting your opinions... Also can I change valve oil seals without taking apart the head like in this video...

So hello everyone. I'm new here and am looking into lowing my bike. I was wondering if anyone here has used any of the front drop in progressive sping kits from the United Kingdom and the rear spring change out kit. Looking at a 30mm drop in kit, front and back. Has good reviews but wanted to...

Hi Guys, It is reaching to 6k miles on it. 2800 miles within 2 months. Lately I'm falling in love with this bike after listening to many people how good of a bike this is. A swiss-army knife of bikes. I wash it every week, lube the chain, polished the headers(mother's mag), checked the...

I have one brake pad and I need to change my front brake pads. Is it dumb to only change one? Also, I need to buy a new battery soon. Any suggestions on brand or type? I want it to last as long as possible so if I have to spend some extra money, that would be okay.

Back to basic question, My 08Fz6 is 3500 miles, 1. With brand new front tire and stock rear tire(lot of thread and non slippery on rain), should i still change it? 2. Based on what other people paid and say about their vehicle, i'm a third owner got for good deal(dropped once by 2nd owner)...

Hi everyone, its been a long time since my last real visit. I have a question. I use my fz for touring mostly. Last year I put a 15 tooth sprocket on the front. Way different ride and far more comfortable for the roads I typically ride. In June of 2015 I plan on doing a long highway ride. Should...

Normally I like to change the oil in my bike before I put it away for the winter. Normally I will take it for a quick ride to fill the tank and then change the oil when I get back after it is nice and warm and had a chance to run through the motor. Well this year winter kinda snuck up on me...

Hey guys, Just started riding the FZ6 and dont feel comfortable with the standard bars. They seem too angled towards you and to high up. Anyone else have this issue? What handle bars did you change too? Im thinking so low Renthals just want to see if anyone else has tried it and what the...

Hi everyone, I have just returned to biking after many years and have purchased a FZ6 S2 2008 model. In faster Blue. I have only had it for 1 Month but I seem to have a problem with the gears and it has now gone back to the dealer for diagnostics. The problem is that intermittently it will...

Did I screw up my engine? (Yet another vibration post) Sorry for the wall of text... I'm nervous that I broke my baby! Firstly, I've done a bit of searching and reading, and feel that this is a unique problem (maybe).. so here goes: This is my first bike that I've owned. Learned to ride...

Noticed there was no video of this, so I made one. May be a good sticky. Yamaha Fz6: How to Change Your Coolant - YouTube

I stumbled on this site while doing research on FZs and notice many members use Amsoil or ask about it but there is no one to provide immediate answers or help. I talked to the Admin and have agreed to Support fz6-forum and its members by offering Amsoil products at a discount If you are...

On my XJ750 I was able to put the bike on the center stand and use a car jack on the frame so that I can change the front tire. However, the FZ just has pipes down there. I was wondering what you guys do to support the front when taking the tire off. Thanks, Chris Maness

I Would Like To Know What Type And Weight Of Oil That Others Are Using. This Will Be My 2nd Service. Is There Anything Else That Is Really Needed At That Enterval? The Bike Has About 1800 Miles On It. Thanks Michael
