hot

Just bought an 07 FZ6 and knew going into it that the underseat exhaust makes the legs a bit more toasty than other bikes, but whenever I park it after a ride, it just smells...hot. Maybe a burning smell, but I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't smell like burning oil or coolant or...

Looking for a bit of help here. I ride my 2006 FZ6 as my daily commuter. Over the past couple of months it has developed a shutter/sputter/miss at low RPM (1000-2300), but only when the engine is up to normal temp. Most of the time I only notice it near the end of my 15 minute commute, but it...

Hi all was looking for little mods to do and see some people have a voltmeter. Are these worth having? also where would you wire it to? if straight across the battery then it would need a switch. I have my usb socket wired to the hot of the brake light switch if I recall, could it use the same...

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...

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 guys, although its been a while since I've posted last, I still browse the forums from time to time. I still have the FZ6 and she's still running strong, pushing 50,000 miles this summer (I hope!). I hope everybody's been doing well here! :D Does anybody have any suggestions for riding...

John & I rode up today to take a look at some fall colors....my favorite time of year :) Kenosha Pass: And I'm not really sure what the he!! I did here. I went into a corner, I knew I was going in a bit hot but never felt like I was outta control or out of my...

So I bought a 2004 FZ6 yesterday. It only has 2500 miles on it, so it has done a lot of sitting around in its lifetime. My problem is the exhaust pipe is getting really, really hot. Hot enough that it has melting some of the plastic under the seat, plastic on the seat, and melting some of the...

Seeing the new Nathan's hot dog eating champion down 62 dogs reminds me of my only eating contest, in which I took 2nd place. Eat as many softshell tacos as you can in 10 minutes, $2 entry fee. I had no intention of winning, just getting a filling meal for $2 (this was college). A large room...

Put me off Beemers,lol

My battery was completely dead so I placed it on a 10A/12V charger for 12 hours. I've done this with other bikes without problems but when I went to go look at it this morning, there was a lot of heat coming from the battery. (Google says I probably should not have used that powerful of a...

Hi guys, I have got a very strange problem with my FZ6 - when the engine temperature reaches 4 "bars" the amber engine trouble light turns on. I took my bike to a yamaha garage last week but they could not tell me what's wrong with it. The bike has been regularly serviced and has got...
