lock

I can't remember if this came up here or on my beemer forum. This was a "Kickstarter" for a universal throttle lock that, very smartly, was engaged/disengaged by a pushbutton accessible by your thumb, instead of trying to twist a lock with your throttle hand. I bought into the project, they...

Have the problem with my ignition switch where I have to pull the key to a certain angle before it will turn Want to get this fixed up without buying a new lock set and I know this can be done but need a donor ignition My question though is what other ignitions are identical to my bike...

The cable or latch mechanism seems to be really tight when first removing my seat. I don't want to break my key jamming it forward and it will eventually unlock but the cable might have to be oiled. Would this be the same procedure as a clutch cable lube? Any better solutions?

Hello gents! I have for sale a few high end touring parts for the Fz6. Feel free to make me a reasonable offer on anything. SOLD 1. Russel Day Long saddle with water proof cover (cover not pictured). It is in new condition - and I mean new. Purchased and not used even once before the...

I'm looking into replacing the storage compartment/mud guard under the seat (the one where the tool kit is stored). It removes from the bike fine, but the seat lock attaching to it is a pain to remove. It is held on by some "special" screws, that are probably designed to be tamper resistant...

As requested by several members, I’ve put together several farkles for the FZ. To re-key the Yamaha lock assembly, instructions here: https://www.600riders.com/threads/yamaha-helmet-lock-re-key-instructions.59922/ Helmet lock bracket: The bracket fits the right side of all 04-09 FZ’s (or any...

I designed and manufactured these to attach a Yamaha helmet lock onto all S1 bikes (with NO helmet locks) or to add a lock to the S2. The brackets simply clamp around the right side of the frame. Clear, helicopter tape wraps around the frame to prevent marring, no mods. The Yamaha lock part...

Has anyone attempted to install a helmet lock? My old ZR-7 was factory fitted with one in the same location as the lock to remove the seat on my FZ6. The ZR-7 lock was positioned perfectly for the pillion foot peg to support the weight of the helmet and the "D" shaped ring on the strap went...

Hey everyone, so during this winter I have decided that I would like to pick up a throttle lock. My wrist isn't what it used to be so having a few seconds to relax it at 70 mph would be great. Any suggestions on which to go for? I see some for $20 and then all the way up to $150. I'm guessing...

Hey all, I was wondering if you folks knew any tricks to removing the front axle. I found a few sockets that lock together and lock in there pretty good, but I can torque it enough to remove it. So far I have busted two socket extensions with a long wrench trying to get this off. I have tried...

Thread title says it all. I've got the ignition barrel from my unfortunate wreck, 100% functioning and intact. Comes with the barrel, a key (I only got one from the PO - sorry), and the wire to connect it to your ECU and the likes. Giving this particular combo away for $50, and there's also the...

So I'm heading back down to college for my third year this coming saturday and I'm finally bringing my bike with me. I've got a cover on the way, and I'm going to pick up a Xena XX10 disc lock. So my question is this: Do you guys think I'm under-doing it? I want to also buy something like a...

Heya folks! Had this issue a bit on the past but it's been frequent as of late and driving me nuts. Park the bike, carefully lock the steering, and when I go back to unlock it - I can't get the key to slide all the way in to unlock it. With enough fiddling I can get it, such as by shaking the...

How's it going guys. I would just like to start off by saying I'm no mechanic, but have worked on several bikes before, but since day one this bike has always kicked my ass for some reason lol. Basically I put my new cr high rise bars on a set of risers with set back, 1" x 1 1/4" respectively...

I just got an '07 last week and the very biggest difference between it and my previous motorcycle ('92 Nighthawk 750) is that the front brake is MUCH more powerful. I could grab all the front brake all I wanted with the Nighthawk and as long as there was no loose material on the pavement, it was...

Atlas This is my first participation in a "Kickstarter" campaign, and its been fun to track the company's progress; I'm getting a throttle lock from their second batch, anxious to try it out. I've used two different "end-twist"-style throttle locks, both work okay but are...

The 2004-2009 Yamaha FZ6 uses standard caged ball bearing upper and lower steering head bearings. Owners who ride in the rain, powerwash their bikes or keep their bike outdoors in humid climates may find these bearings go bad prematurely due to corrosion. This is the procedure to replace...

A couple of weeks ago I walked into 2 guys trying to steal my bike from my building garage... (main gate was broken). Anyways, they went away but substantially damaged my baby. (2008 Black FZ6) They cut the wires to hotwire it, which was done successfully, and then they were trying to force...
