    Please help me judge

    This is the water pump impeller. The shaft core is rusty, and the contact location is the mechanical shaft seal. Should I replace it? Or can it still be used after polishing and plating?

    Speedometer Microcracks

    Old speedometer on 2005 fz6. I made the mistake of pressing to hard on it to clean, and now its hard to see the revs, read the mileage, still totally possible , but less so when moving. Looking for a cheap fix. Sure I could buy a full speedo replacement via ebay, but that comes with its own...

    Replaced my '06 engine with a '07. Feels good to be back on the road.

    When I bought my bike 5 years ago the seller neglected to inform me of a very serious issue. I posted about it when I found out, but basically I’m guessing the chain came off on the previous owner and took a chunk out of the engine. There was an attempt to fix it by the last guy with some JB...

    Blue S2 Fairing

    Unfortunately, a friend's girlfriend backed over my bike. The damage is not extreme but my fairing, bar end, and frame slider are all slightly damaged. She has agreed to fix the bike. Does anyone have a fairing for an S2 that I could purchase?

    what would you do - 83 honda nighthawk

    Long-story short, a buddy/neighbor of mine ended up with a (free) 1983 Honda Nighthawk CB650SC. While he intended to keep/fiddle with, his spousal-unit vetoed that plan - which is where I come in. He offered it to me to 'fix up' or do anything (within reason) I wanted to. How to be honest, my...

    Running on 2 Cylinders, What to Do?

    My 2004 FZ6 switched to 2 cylinders last Friday at the end of my commute home. I saw both fault codes 33 and 34. I replaced the plugs and did the "vibration fix" repair to the spark plug boots, and it was great all week until cutting back to 2 again halfway through my way to work yesterday. Like...

    Firefox issue?

    In the last few days the site has been behaving oddly on my pc, running Firefox. As soon as a page finishes loading it goes back to the previous page, really weird, and it's only this site that does it. Can anyone replicate this bug? And more to the point, can anyone fix it? Typing on the...

    Front brake lever floppy/brake light always on

    So I noticed this problem today, my front brake lever isn't 'resetting' itself. There is a push rod in a metal boot that seems like it should be providing more spring force than it is to push the brake lever all the way out. It isn't a problem with actually braking, but it is making my brake...

    Crankcase Repair and Clutch Adventures

    I bought my '05 FZ6 a few months ago for a good deal. It has 45,000 miles, but runs well. Unfortunately, I didn't see the crankcase repair done with JB Weld (which was seeping). After a more thorough inspection, I found the jacked up repair (with a quarter in it for good luck). I appears...
