engine

Hi Guys, Summer is coming, I like to ride long drives, as long it doesn't rain(can't go fast in slow, i'm scared). My question is, I want my bike to look stylish, so planning for a belly pan, but keeping the summer in mind, should i get the side fairing, so that the heat from the engine won't...

Hi, I'm after some advice, I've got an '04 FZ6 with 42k on the clock. When cold it runs like a dream, but when it's hot I get a clicking noise, which I've attributed to the cam chain tensioner. However under load, when warm, in first and second it sounds like the engine is falling to bits...

Hi all, been long time since I've been on here. Hi all. jtime just getting set for the summer and I noticed it difficult getting into 3rd gear. Now it won't go in at all. The peg moves but there is no click or resistance. 1st and 2nd seem ok. So before I go removing the engine any suggestions...

Hey everybody, I'm new to the forum, so sorry if this is discussed elsewhere... I just pulled the engine out my my 2004 FZ6 for a very minor repair (last owner snapped the spark plug wire housing off inside the engine which has made it impossible to swap out the plug. And yes, I tried to fish...

So not too long ago my stock battery hit the dust. I bought a new one, installed it correctly and everything, but about a month down the road from installing it I noticed that when my bike idles, the display cluster, headlights, taillight and turn signals all pulse matching up with the idle. I...

I got the givi engine guards and I like them but they block the oil drain plug. Ground down as much of the engine mount bolt as I feel comfortable with (actually the head not the threaded part) and I tried it with spacers but still can't get the drain plug out without loosening everything on the...

So a while back ago my top gasket starting leaning and engine oil got onto the frame. As a result, there is some staining on the aluminium frame now. Beyond being oily, it seems to have etched and stained the frame and the engine covers. Just wondering if you guys know how to clean it up...

Hey folks, I have read a few threads wrt the titled... but I hoped to get some personal feedback. I have a chance to pick up a FZ8 (2013) for a great deal. Is it an upgrade/side-grade? I know wet weight is almost the same as our bike, but how nimble is it? Is the engine that much better...

A month or two back there was a post about hesitant cold engine. For as long as I can remember, I always had this problem and since that post I have been watching for this engine behavior even more closely. Coincidentally the problem got gradually worst since I started watching for it (I did...

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...

Hello everyone, I had an unfortunate incident involving a slippery roundabout and long story short, here is the main piece of damage. As you can seen, when the stator cover smashed, it took a piece of the main engine casing with it. Is there anything I can do short of dropping the engine out...

Back in June my engine blew, thrown rod, I don't have any use for it, and it would be a shame to scrap it as I am sure someone on here is in need of some usable parts, I am hoping to sell the engine whole, but would consider parting it out if reasonable. $300 OBO Read this post for...

So I was going through the usual Monday morning, wake up late, hop on the FZ, and fly to work. While on the interstate, my #2, 3, & 4 spark plug caps popped off causing me to lose power in 3 of my cylinders. I coasted off the nearest off-ramp and was able to get my #4 plug cap back on. I...

My '08 FZ6 drooped a rod yesterday and I'm looking for a replacement. I know that '06-'08 are compatible, so any serviceable engine would be nice. I live in SW U.S. but willing to pay for shipping if it's right.

Well last weekend I took an unfortunate spill, going about 45. My frame slider broke off as well as my crankcase cover. The stator was destroyed, as well as the generator. While removing the remains of the crank cover I found that a small chunk on the bottom of my engine block missing. My friend...

Hey guys: I was curious to see how many miles people have logged on their fz's and any major maintenance associated with it. I've heard of people going over 100k but wasn't sure what they did to keep it going. Mines still fresh with only 15K
