throttle

Hello everyone! I'd like to thank anyone that helps out in advance. I've read through way posts, and cant seem to find anything beneficial. So, I recently purchased a 2006 FZ6 with about 20,000 miles on it. It also has a PC3, two brothers exhaust, and K&N filter. Ever since I bought it a few...

When I start my fz6 from cold I blip the throttle and it almost sounds like its running on only a few cylinders I think it idles fine its just when I rev a little, if I leave it a minute or two it starts to rev fine. Im new to 600's and just wanted to know if this is normal. Its done 26k miles...

Hey guys, having a minor issue with my S1 lately. Quick backstory/breakdown... Bought bike in June 2017 with just over 21,000 miles (22,300 on it now), ran through most maintenance i could think of (replace brake fluid, replaced coolant, checked oil, air filter, etc etc) A few weeks after...

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...

Hello all, I had the chain and sprockets changed a few days ago on my FZ6 as they were all rusty and worn out (20k miles and probably never changed). Since the service there is a noise I dont remember having heard before. Whenever I release the throttle and twist it again there is...

Looking to meet up with someone who has experience doing throttle body synch's, and get my fueling squared away. Other than my appreciation we could work something out.

'07 FZ6 I know what you're thinking, yet another stuck throttle thread. Just lube the cables! I've dissembled the grip & cable housing, everything's moving freely there (well, the grip needs some TLC, 10 years of being an "outside bike", but it still turns freely with the cables...

Where this washer should go ? I tried to put it inside the kill switch housing and that completely eliminates side to side throttle grip play. I guess it should be inside. When I bought the bike, this washer was placed just like on this photo.

Alright guys, it's finally time I start contributing some content around here. Here is a long overdue introduction of my bike. It looks a little rough around the edges after being knocked over by a lady leaving a parking spot. Definitely in need of some TLC. I've been looking forward to doing...

Per title, for US bikes only. You should be able to verify any recalls. Like the S1 Throttle Position Sensor (TPS recall) USA Yamaha recall information (Enter VIN)

Hey everyone, I've been through these threads for a while now. I know everything is mostly old, but it is still super helpful. Recently my FZ6 was stolen and the meth head busted it all up. Ripped the mirrors and all lights off (yes, ripped off, a screw driver or wrench was not used)...

I was just infomed by my mech that my clutch basket should be replaced. My bike has 26k miles of smooth riding, clutch was never dumped to pop a wheelie etc. Last bike that I got up to that mileage had clutch "as new" (as possible) when inspected (a ninja 650r). The reason I brought the bike...

'06 FZ6 dies on throttle (video included) I'm a newbie here, and used the "search" function to check the forums for this particular problem. Besides the advice given for general fuel-related problems, I was wondering if anybody had any insight on this specific problem I'm having. I was given...

With all the clunky transmission, stiff clutch, and jerky throttle complaints going around.

OMG! I rode thru an area today that is prone to experiencing very high winds and gust, semi's aka Lorry's are commonly toppled over. Flashing yellow lights, warning all trucks to stop and they were all pulled over. Hmmm, nothing about motorcycles so I proceeded down to Carson City, about a 30...

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...

Hi Guys and Girls :welcome: I will try to make this short as possible. My bike has had minor starting issues from the time I bought it two years ago. The fuel pump always primed but sometimes I would have to open the throttle to get it started, and occasionally it would start from cold and just...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a throttle sticking issue. Basically if I put a lot of slack into the throttle cable it doesn't stick at all, but when I adjust the slack out of the cable it sticks. What's the best way to have a throttle without slack, but also that doesn't stick? Thanks!

Hi, everyone, if anyone has knowledge, please help. I have bought fz6 s from 2006 sone 11 months ago, and after few months it would, after some wormup start to sputter and shake badly when throttle is twisted a little more. Under light twisting of the throttle, everything was OK, as well as when...
