gas

So I did a search here on the subject and although some issues are similar, I just wanted to throw my particulars in there to see if the issue can be diagnosed better or just left alone. Bought my 08 last November with 7260 miles on it and just hit 9000 over the weekend. The only engine/exhaust...

I notice the odometer switches to a F and begins counting miles but curious how many miles I actually have before I am out of gas. 05 FZ6 if the year matters.

Gas is getting into the oil and overfilling the oil reserve tank and constantly fouling my third cylinder spark plug. Here is what a shop has done so far: checked valves, no adjustment needed, did a throttle body sync., adjustment needed and thought this would solve my problem, injector fine...

Hey all, today was a big day. TLDR: Pics drive.google.com/open?id=0B63W5qtTfCdrR2IyVUJUWThKdzQ I've been talking about motorcycling for a long time, and 35 days ago I decided to book the 2 day MSF course here in Brooklyn. That course was insanely stressful, but I came away with my...

Bought a 2005 fz6 with only 5000 miles on it, that's been sitting almost two years. I tuned it up a little bit before trying to run it, clean gas, sea foam, new spark plugs, new battery, clean filter, etc. The starter is cranking like a champ but I couldn't get the engine to turn over. I tried...

I've had my Fizzer up for sale the last two years, asking $3K for my '07 with new tires, which I didn't think was out of bounds. Anyhoo, I kept starting it up and driving around a few miles every few months, to keep the battery charged and the fluids moving around. Last November I moved it...

Just got a 2005 Fazer with a dead battery. Replaced the battery but no joy as to starting. Bike is up on the center stand. Bike cranks nicely but will not fire. Gas in the tank. Any suggestions as to where to start? 18,500 miles has sat with a dead battery for months. All looks good under the...

Hello to all to the forum i am really happy i found this forum... a friend of mine brought to me his fazer in order to customise it a little... this is the first time that i am working on a fazer.. i remove the gas tank and take it for a new paint and i receive it yesterday i put it back to...

So i bought a PCV and had a guy dynotune it. It runs so much nicer, it loves to be opened up! i have a akrapovic slip on the only main mod. Only problem is my fuel economy dropped about 10mpg+. now i know the fuel economy may decrease but that seems like a pretty steep trade off. Also to...

I have a red FZ6 gas tank off a 2007. It leaks from overflow tubes but holds at least 1/2 tank. Was contemplating trying to fix it but just bought a new tank. Before I throw it out, I thought maybe someone here can use it for something or fix it for their own bike. Only will to do a...

Wondering what Octane everyone is running. User manual states that 87 is fine, what do you guys do?

Hey everyone, This is a question that I feel like I know the answer to but maybe someone has a better answer. I need to drain the gas out of my tank. Where is the easiest point to disconnect? As of now I'm looking at the bottom of the tank thinking that is it.

I've seen other posts on this and I haven't figured out my issue. Got the bike all cleaned up, new battery ( it was throwing out a code ) cleared the codes, cleaned out the gas tank. Removed and changed fuel pump rotor. Cleaned out pressure relief valve also and it seemed to hold pressure up...

Hi all, my stock gas cap broke and was letting water in the tank so I want to replace it. I bought a cheap cap off ebay, but it didn't have a gasket. I haven't been able to find a gasket to fit the one i bought. Looking at other gas caps I'm having a hard time finding any that come with gaskets...

Ok.. so I had painted my Fz6 last spring. The reason I haven't posted photos is the clear coat didn't come out well and I am not happy with the result I plan on respraying the tank first in the fall and then the plastics over the winter This time I very much do not want to have to empty the...

I have a dead battery and of course a full tank of gas. When I lift the tank to access the battery will I get any fuel leakage/overflow? Thanks Ryan

On Saturday's ride I ran out of gas in Pocono's mountains of PA. Just forgot to fill up beforehand and didn't pay enough attention on a dashboard. The good thing is that the bike stopped just near some garage in the woods down the road, with dirt bikes and a quad, where a guy gave me about half...

During my last couple of fill ups I've noticed water puddled around the neck of the gas tank filler opening. Enough that if I'm not careful it spills into the tank. No isssues yet, but I suspect it will lead to a problem before long. I've been adding a little 'dry gas' to the petro to help...

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...
