engine

I usually wait until the bar in my RPM to stop blinking, which is a few minutes. I was wondering if there's another way? I don't want to let it warm up for a few seconds or rev my engine if it's going to harm the engine.

Yesterday I had a strange occurance on the way home. I made a stop on the way and as I was leaving, my bike would not start. The engine was relatively hot (+/-208F) and everything else was normal. The starter rolled slowly but would not start the engine. I tried roll starting it without...

Greetings, My cycle has been having a problem I believe to be electrical. When I turn the key in the ignition to the on position, only the neutral light comes on, the fuel pump doesn't prime or make the usual 3-4 sec whirring noise. When I try to start it, the engine cranks but doesn't start...

Hey guys! Just got my FZ6 about 3 weeks back and I'm curious. What exactly should the engine "sound" like. I know how a bike sounds is really important as a tell to how it is running. Problem is I have no idea if any of the noises i'm hearing are normal or bad. I'm assuming some ticking and...

Well I got my 98 FZS6 on the road a few days ago and because of clutch slip issues I only really had 1 days use out of her. After the clutch was sorted and I thought I'd learnt the clutch/throttle balance fairly well and I'd been getting on great on this 2nd day, seemed to have the pulling...

Up until recently my bike was running vibration free, but lately I noticed that when approaching 7k it starting to vibrate and it continues all the way up. I can feel it on a bar, seat/tank, footpegs and engine guards. It's not terrible, but somewhat annoying. It pulls just as strong though, but...

My chain broke on my 2006 and came forward and shattered my engine case, so I need an engine. I live in Orange County California. I have a lot into this bike and will give it to my son now. my email is [email protected]

Had a buddy of mine recently tell me about buying gas at Shell and how it is supposedly cleaner and helps the engine run better. Naturally, I looked it up and Shell claims that it reduces frictional losses and cleans the engine due to additives, and another article explaining that it's...

My bike has this strange problem that started yesterday without warning - engine stops if I put it in gear. I initially thought it was the side stand switch, but no use even after shorting the two wires. Pulling the clutch in, I hear one of the relays click randomly, like sometimes it does...

Hi Guys My 2007 FZ6 with 9,000 miles has a slight knocking sound coming from the engine when it's warm. It does it with the clutch in and out, and while in and out of gear. The noise is barely noticeable when the engine is cold, and it gets more pronounced as the engine temperature increases...

This started happening a few months ago - when I start my FZ6 and rev the engine within the first minute or so it hesitates to rev up. The idle is smooth but in neutral or under power it is almost like it is low on fuel. My mileage has been consistent at 42mpg, I started using yamahas...

Hi Fellas OK, I took my FZ6 for a first longer ride (around 150 miles) as the weather was gorgeous. On my way back, 3 miles from home, as I was pulling away from the traffic lights the engine spluttered and stalled. A "ER_1" message came up on the display and the engine wouldn't start. I...

I have a 2007 FZ6 bought new. It started breaking up a while back at about 5k RPM, in any gear if you roll the throttle on after 5k RMP the motor breaks up and there is no power. It feels like an ignition issue, almost like a throttle limiter is engaged and is interrupting the coil sequence...

I have a 2005 FZ6 that I have had to do some very minor repairs on (the frame had some minor road rash). I've been looking and looking for a spray paint to match. I read about TufuJunky87's repair to his FZ. I tried out the Dupli-Color's Aluminum Engine Enamel on a test piece (a broken...

I was on my way to work, everything was normal and then I noticed the check engine light come on, I slowed down and cruised into work and the light remained on. Got to work and turned off the bike and then tried to restart but the battery did not have enough juice to turn it over. Two hours...

Hi guys, new FZ6 rider here :-) Opened the season today - but after a total of about 4-5 hours of riding today (with a few stops) my bike started glitching out. First the dashboard went out and rebooted. Then again. I turned around and set course home, but It got worse as I was riding. By the...

Hey guys This is basically just my take on the air box modification Just lets more air through the filter so there is no way your letting too much for your engine in AND since all the air is still going through your filter there's no chance of anything you don't want getting in your...
