    suspension improvement and adjustment

    I've had my FZ6 for several weeks now, and have put it through it's paces in the twisties. I'm not an advanced rider, but I want more out of the suspension. The front end dives under breaking, and feels unstable in turns. It is very, very soft and springy. It may actually be low on oil; I'll...

    Tire Valve Concern

    Hello hello! I'm concerned that my rear tire valve is not ok, even though the mechanic has assured me it is. Story here is that my rear tire was leaking, and neither I nor the mechanic (Lane's Yamaha, who I've always regarded highly) could find the leak. Very slow leak, like 1psi every...

    Crash landing?? Strange place to die

    Well I didn't crash land but somehow this little dragonfly landed under my seat and never left! He seems completely intact. Perhaps a tad dehydrated? What a strange place to fly into and die under the FZ6 seat. I was pulling the rear wheel for install of a new Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ after...

    I am toying with the idea of changing the rear sprocket

    Goals are simple. A bit of extra umph in the lower RPMS, not a wheelie machine (not yet at least :D. I do not ride on the highway and rarely go over 80 mph. Thankfully this bike gets out of first around 55mph, but even then I find myself climbing up those RPMs to get that power on the street...

    Why didn’t new relay fix hyper flash? (2004 Fz6)

    Can anyone help? Fitted front led flashers with resistors - work fine. Bought rear led flashers but not fitted. Figured a new relay would be easier than siting resistors at the rear end. Tried new relay before fitting rear led flashers but getting hyper Flash (even with front...

    I am around 13K miles on my PR4s on my 05 FZ6. Rear looks pretty solid based on wear indicators but I can probably could get a few more K from the front but I think my front bearing needs replacement (started hearing squeak sounds) so debating just doing the front (PR4s are out of stock...

    No rear light, hazards or turn signals but fuse okay

    I have recently bought an 06 naked FZ6 but when trying to get a live feed from the rear lights I must have accidentally grounded out something and now I have no rear light, no turn signals and no hazards. Taking off the rear panel there seems a bit of a dogs' breakfast that someone has made...

    Tight/Stripped/Weird Rear Caliper Bolt

    Hey Forum, Trying to pull my rear caliper and the bolt that holds it to the bracket (the one of the two towards the front of the bike) is super stiff. It takes an unreal amount of torque to unscrew and once it does start to move it's very difficult to turn and doesn't seem to back out. I...
