Hello my fellow FZ6 lads. Recently my 2006 FZ6 has not been letting me shift into first gear, instead it will make a weird clicking noise. It takes me several tries to get down into first and it's starting to get very annoying. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!
Okay so, idk if its just my driving or what, but when im in 3rd gear, and i go to switch to 4th, when i pull the clutch in and shift up real fast all while holding the throttle, when i shift to 4th, the rpms stay the same as if i was still in 3rd, then gradually go back down as if i upshifted as...
I have a 2007 fz6 and I have put around 3000 miles on it since I have owned the bike. When I am at a stand still and try to shift up to neutral it’s a little stiff and once I shift it up and goes straight to second and same if I try second to neutral. The bike is shifting fine but could this be...
Hello, been looking around for the last few months and decided to join recently. I purchased my 04 fz6 3 months ago and really enjoyed it until I got ran off the road recently. On the bright side I enjoy projects and I'm doing r6 forks and a street fighter look. I like to fabricate (made my own...
When do you people shift up say during a gentle drive in city traffic.
I switch gears up at no less than 3000 rpm when there's no particular need for quick acceleration. Afterwards cruise at just above 3000 rpm, usually > 3100 rpm.
I recently had a nasty spill on my 09 Fz6 (nearly got hit by a guy going the wrong way at 75+) and fortunately the damage to my bier was fairly minor. One of the things that got damaged was the left front foot peg. It got completely snapped off and the bracket that holds it in got damaged as...
Hey guys,
Total new guy here when it comes to motorcycle repair so ask away and I'll do my best to answer any relative questions.
2006 Yamaha FZ6, ~35000 miles
So a couple of weeks ago I noticed my bike shifting into first gear in a rather weird way. All of the other gears, shifting up and...
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...
Hello everyone,
So yesterday I had a bit of an embarrassing episode. I figured I would brave the new ice on the roads on my bike to get to class however I ended up going down at aprox 6mph on a icy patch. Mostly just lost pride, however in the process my clutch handle broke off so I had to get...
So I was reading on hrheim's build in the streetfighter area and seen he added R1 rearsets. I am interested in doing this as well. I understand they need to be squeezed a little bit to fit our spacing, but was wondering what else is needed to be done. I couldn't tell by the pictures, but what is...
I have a friend who lowsided and beyond his shift lever of at the foot peg. If anyone has one or knows where we could get one please let me know.
I'm not sure but it seems the same as the FZ6 shift lever.
Thanks
Sometimes I goof off and want to relax my hands/ back/ shoulders when I'm approaching a red light an eighth of a mile away and there is no one behind me, riding up to it with no hands on the bars. Or I just want to coast without engine braking/ holding the throttle open. :rolleyes:
Sometimes I...
So after owning my fz6 for a week I have decided I want to convert it to go shift. Also, I am thinking relocating the rearsets would be nice. So I ask, what is the best (hopefully fairly cheap) way to accomplish these? I read about relocating the stock sets, but can't seem to find the parts. Thanks

So on my way home I realized something was seriously wrong with my shifter. I looked down to see the thing just dangling and saw that somehow the main bolt was completely gone. I guess there is always the possibility that it could've just wiggled loose.
Now I need help in getting the right...
I recently had a really light crash (fell on the right side of the bike at low speed) and since then shifting gears "doesn't work correctly" all the times.
For example, if go shifting from 1st to last gear, at one point gear shifting lever will have shorter path and won't do anything until I...
