    2008 FZ6 with 30k miles, bought used, pretty good condition, maintained well, runs smooth (or at least was the last time I rode it); The bike was sitting for a few weeks in the garage, I took it out for a ride today, and noticed some rough-running at lower rpms, a stutter on acceleration...

    Burned out Headlight. No Highbeam Indicator, Good Fuses

    I was on a regular ride on my 09 FZ6 and I had the high beam on as well as the running light. Everything was fine (both were functioning). When I stopped (<5 min later), I noted that the highbeam indicator was off and I hadn't turned it off. Sure enough, flicked the switch and it never came on...

    Aux rear LEDs - running + brake + turn?

    My bike came with the Clear Alternatives integrated LED tail light, which I don't think is bright enough for braking and definitely not visible enough for turning. I also keep saddlebags on the bike 95% of the time, so I want to mount extra LEDs on the bags. I plan to use the "Eagle Eye" style...

    2007 Fuel Pump

    Hi, Last year, I bought a wrecked 2007 FZ6 for a go-cart. The guy started and it ran the engine. Been in garage for about a year so I figured I should change fuel and run it for awhile. I drained the fuel and put in about a 1/2 gallon. When I turn it on, the pump did not prime. so I went...

    Lights (Front running lights)

    Hi, Just bought a 05 FZ6 S and am looking to make a few improvements already. The first thing I would like to do would be to change the yellow running lights on the front of the bike. Ideally I would go for some super bright LEDs but I can't find any information about what sort of bulbs are...

Life and work got busy, but fortunately things are starting to calm a bit going into the holiday season and getting some rides in here and there between Oregon showers.

    Hi All, My 2006 FZ6 has been running rough for about 2 months. I searched the Forum and hoped I just had some bad gas. She has just over 7K miles. I took her out for a little jaunt and she was running more rough. I stopped by the only Yamaha/Honda Dealer around and inquired at the...

    Single Massive Backfire

    I have been slowly fixing up my FZ since I bought it. It has 37500 miles on it, so I know there is some work to be done. On to the next problem, on decelerating I get a single massive backfire. This is shotgun level loud, people freak out if they are next to me. This happens easier when cold...

    Age vs. Miles

    I have a 2008 FZ6 with only 5000 miles on it.. I have replaced the oil (a couple of times) now running Motul 7100 and just changed the Coolant with Engine Ice. What else would you suggest for a low mile bike but 7 years old? Reason I ask is that it seems to be running a bit rough lately and also...

    Scraped diode/resistor for t/s & running lights

    After doing a test run with a 220 ohm resistor and a 6 amp diode on my two wire led t/s I didn't like how it looked and went with the single fxn of the t/s. Only a few of the leds were lit in the diode/resistor running light mode and obviously dimmer. When the t/s was turned on just flowing...

    04 FZ6 Dies on throttle - sort of

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and the FZ6... I'll start by saying that the bike's great so far. This is the only problem I've been able to find, really. The bike starts fine, and if I'm slow on the throttle at first, everything's good. If I, for instance, wanted to spin the wheel in...
