coolant

Hello everyone, I took my 2007 FZ6 for a ride for the first time in about 10 days and I noticed the temp gauge running hot. Usually the fan kicks on at about, I would say, 170-180 ish (unless I'm clearly mistaken). But yesterday my fan would only kick on around 210. it would bring it back down...

Hello, I just bought a used 2009 FZ6-S and rode it home for about 300km. It was a very hot day (about 36 degrees C ambient) and I noticed that the coolant temperature reading kept creeping higher, slowly but steadily regardless of rpms and speed. It increased to 114 C and I heard the fan...

Hi i recentley changed my coolant and after a ride i noticed a little bit of coolant drip from underneath the water pump. its never done it before. only thing i touched on the water pump was the drain screw.. if that seal goes inside the water pump i know it drips from the weep hole but my...

I have a 04 fz6 40k on clock, notice coolant levels drop after riding. At first I thought it was just the overflow tank coolant levels fluctuating due to usage warming up and cooling down engine. Until the coolant levels remained low, causing me to have to keep refilling it. I never let it drop...

My bike cant not start and the coolant temperature indicator only shows "Hi". I had removed the tank to access the sensor and find it was open(infinite Ohms). I guess I need to replace it but I had the following questions: 1. I don't want to remove the filter box and throttle body to have a...

worried i may have head gasket leak. a bit back i was low on coolant, so decided to change the radiator cap which looked like the seals had gone (OEM). I changed it to an after market 1.6 bar high pressure cap. Then a bit later, my coolant reservoir developed cracks, I replaced the reservoir...

2006 FZ6 w/~18k miles Background: I have very little experience working with motorcycles, but have been a backyard auto-mechanic most of my life and am comfortable working on engines. This bike sat for almost a year and even though I'd drained and replaced the fuel she still wasn't running...

recent relevant service: replaced radiator cap with 1.6 bar aftermarket cap March 2017 radiator coolant flush 3 weeks ago I was doing an oil change and it went pretty normally, but after inspecting my bike i noticed a small puddle of coolant under the bike near the kick stand (left...

I went out for a short cruse today, and when I cam back to my garage I noticed what looked like coolant leaking form the cap. when cold the radiator is filled to the cap. I little to much I feel. when the bike got hot it leaked through the cap is it just as simple as take some coolant out or...

Hi all, I've bought a power Commander for my FZ6, fitted and it all works fine. However I'd like to set up the coolant temperature with the PCV, so I've connected a wire to the 'analogue' port on the PCV and connected it to the green/white wire as per the instructions and it sort of works. I...

Flushed coolant last week, it's finally hot here in Oregon so my bike hit 200+ for the first time. Pulled up in my garage, turned bike off, heard a sound that resembled squirting water, seems like it's all through my coolant system, pipes/radiator. About 30 seconds later my overflow dumps...

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet I had to flush four times before the water came out clear. The gallon you're looking at is the original coolant + one distilled water flush. I replaced it with engine ice. Things to note now : Bike runs much cooler, about 10 degrees...

Yes, I know this sounds crazy. But I have been staring at my bike for 30 minutes with a flashlight and can't find the damn over fill jug. I have drained the coolant and cycled some water through, but ideally would have taken the crap out of the over fill compartment. Bike is a 2009 btw ;) Thanks!

I changed the coolant recently, and it was working fine. My bike was getting hot after some easy rides, requiring the fan to turn on for about 3-4 minutes at the end of a ride (abnormal behavior even after the coolant change). I checked the rez and there was a crack in the plastic at the high...

Its something most of us never think about or ever replace on a bike. Oddly I believe mine is failing. It usually warms up pretty quick, within 2ish miles of riding with a good 30 seconds of idle while I finish gearing up but lately I have been able to make it to work (~6) miles and the temp...

Looks like they may have hit a slick covering of transmission fluid or coolant. Never the less he does the best he can with the situation and holds on to the girl... LiveLeak.com - Biker Saves Girlfriend Getting Run Over

I had posted in another thread that I went down. Now I need to get her all healed up. When I went down it was on the right side and the frame slider took most of the abuse. Three things though need attention: 1) I leaked out some coolant and now she is running hot. Am I ok to just replace...

Hi all! I just picked up a 2006 Blue Fz6 with 16k on it. It's got frame sliders, aftermarket blue click adjust levers, and blue wheel tape lol, other wise all stock! I upgraded from a 1996 Yzf600r(first gen, "thundercat") and put about 16k on that over the past few years....that was my first...

I realize that most automobiles have coolant temperature gauges that are "rigged" in the sense that they show the same position for a decent range of operating temperatures so that people don't think there's a problem when they see it go up and down. Obviously, the FZ6 does not have that. Since...

I am ashamed to say that I haven't ridden my bike this year :spank: Now that summer is coming I don't just want to fire up and ride, I'm also not in a position to do much myself so it's off to the dealer. It's a 2004 with almost 51,000km on the clock. Compared to what I have read here...
