    FZ6 S2 - Acceleration issue when riding in the rain

    Apologies if this isn't in the right place. I've recently been on a longer trip and I got caught in the rain a few times for long period of time. When this happened I'd have an issue with the acceleration. From around 4-4.5k rpm the bike would accelerate very slowly, so the revs would slowly go...

    Hello everyone, I owned an FZ6 some years ago and now my wife and i are thinking of buying one again. I found a 2008 S2 model online with 36000km for a great price. I called the owner and he said that the only issue with the bike is the ABS. According to his mechanic, its a false alarm by...

    Flashing Engine Light and Haywire Gauges?

    Last week my FZ6 would make a buzzing sound upon pushing the ignition. I took the USB charger that was attached directly to the battery off which fixed the issue. I got my tires changed yesterday and now occasionally while pushing the ignition, I will get the buzzing sound, gauges go crazy, and...

    1st unofficial post from L3FTY, after storage, injectors leaking?

    L3FTY Hi and welcome to the 4'uhm Mr L3fty. I am sharing this here vs a PM as I think others will benefit from your methods and perhaps the outcome of this process. That said I also find it unlikely 8 different injectors leak so we are on the same page. What I want to question is the...

    Greetings from Sacramento

    Just picked up a 2006 FZ6 yesterday. 10k mi on the odo, plastics are great shape and it's never been down. Got a pretty darn good deal for this area considering some seem to think their stored outside, rashed bike with 30k mi on the odo and no maintenance performed is worth $3200 :thumbdown...

    New owner - fixing terrible throttle

    What can be done about an excessively stiff throttle on an 06 FZ6? I'm going to try to lube the cables and take the assembly apart to see if there's any corrosion or gunk causing an issue, but it's basically impossible to make precise on off throttle inputs in any sort of sport riding scenario...

    Lope idle with new exhaust setup

    I just installed a two brothers slip on and while I was in there I gutted my cat. Sounds excellent now. Problem I'm having is that the idle is crap now. Its super lopey and rough. I can get it to smooth out if I raise the idle to like 1450-1500 rpm, but then the revs don't drop as quick as I'd...

    Migrating from S1 to S2, Anything I can't swap over? Anything I should?

    Buying a 2008 FZ6 to replace my dearly departed 2004. I know my R6 forks will transfer over, a few other questions: Is there any difference between the blue spot calipers I have now (from the R6) and the silver spot stockers on the S2? They seem identical to me. Will my shock swap over without...

    Newbie question re downshifting

    I have noticed after about 500 miles on my 07 FZ6 that downshifting all the way to 1st as I roll up to a stop is starting to fail, and I am having to go back up and down to find first. This was not a problem until recently. Is this a clutch adjustment issue? I have plenty of clean fluids and...

    rear axle nut difficulties

    so I took bike to shop to get new rear tire, and they tightened the chain too tight, but I know the procedure and its hasn't been too big of an issue, so I decided to fix at home. Here is the issue: I have an impact wrench 425 ft-lbs of force, when I try to undo the axle bolt, it spins, so I...

    First ride on new FZ6 - Some inquiry about shifting/clutch

    So I've had 3 motorcycles before this FZ6 and all of them had this problem in some iteration, but not quite as bad. They have been all Suzuki bikes though, one brand new, two used. Suzukis shift like a dream to me. This Yamaha does not (that's fine, I've read all about the slightly clunky...
