The manual states to check chain slack on the centerstand. Presumably checking slack on a paddock stand would throw off the measurement seeing as the swing arm would not be hanging as if it were on the center stand. My bike does not have a centerstand. How do you guys who don't have centerstands...
So I havent been around much as of late
On top of life sucking, a lot, my beautiful FZ6 was taken away from me.
A rather old woman turned across traffic into me and I bounced off the side of her little suv at 50.
I felt it as soon as I tried to stand up.
A plate, a rod, and 6 screws...
Title says it all.
Ride up to Wally World for supplies.
Go to get on the bike (engine is off) to leave,I'm geared up.
Left foot on left peg, swing right leg partially over,
OVER and off to the left side BOTH I and the bike go. WTF????
I know the side stand was down. Bike was on a...
Looking to see if anyone has a cat delete pipe (midpipe after header). I would like to keep my pipe intact for emissions purposes, so getting a separate pipe is ideal.
Also looking for an OEM center stand, as a previous owner removed it.
Just purchased my first bike this past saturday! Anyhow i've got an '05 FZ6, but previous owner did not have the center stand for it. If anyone has the OEM center stand they don't need it would be greatly appreciated!!! Need to be able to tighten rear chain, which is just a little loose and...
I'm a new rider with a 2008 FZ6. Last time I was cleaning my chain, I realized that when I put the bike on its center stand and let it run in any gear except neutral, the chain bounces vertically up and down. Is this normal? I checked the slack specs and they check out as stated per manual.
I was heading to work this morning and some tradie had dropped a mixed bunch of screws and stuff off his tray:spank: and it was in the tyre tracks of traffic coming up to a set of lights. By the time I realised, I'd ridden over about 40 of them:disapprove: . light was red so I got off and...
I just read a post on changing the oil but it still didn't directly state my answer. For Checking not Changing do you check the dipstick with it on side stand or center stand?
I want to go fully naked and wanted to see if anyone would be interested in my whole front assembly. It has been cut/trimmed down, see the pics. Seems like there were a few areas that were cracked an were repaired w/ JB weld. But if someone had a wrecked bike an wanted a front this would be...
Just wondering if anybody has dragged knee on stock FZ6. I don't dare to lean too far to the point where I drag knee. I have scrapped the pegs feeler, and kick stand though.
I'll bring it to the small track close to my house again tomorrow.
why when my bike is raised at the back on a stand.
and the side stand is up i put in first gear and it stalls?
it never done this before.
many thanks willie.
Is there any security chain that can stand against bolt cutter?
Bike robbery is increasing here these days, and i want to know how to keep my bike safe.
Here is a video of some famous chain brands, none can stand more than 30 seconds.
