throttle

After riding the FZ6 for almost 3 years, I've lived with the on-off throttle response. It's really not a big deal on the street, but on the track it's a different story. I just finished my 4th track day on the bike yesterday. This was on Summit Point Shenandoah, a relatively slow course...

(I was referred to Motogiro from TownsendsFJR1300, he thought if anyone could help Motogiro might be able to) Warning...VERY long post...sorry. Hi, my problem is with my 2007 (XV19CTMW) Stratoliner 1854cc V-twin. Here's the history: Bought the bike back in September 2014; it had hardened...

My throttle cables got crushed and now the throttle has a hard time returning to the "off" position. It looks like one of the cable housings is also cracked, exposing the interior. Instead of cheaping out and somehow trying to fix it I decided to just replace them. 1. Should I do both cables...

well its been a while since I was on 2 wheels, slight issue with a work injury. Shattered leg and all that, I have to say thanks to all the folks posting on here, seeing your pictures and videos was motivation to get through the crappy times. If your wondering, yes it is damn good to crack a...

Hi guys, I have a strange issue. I'll try to explain how it feels/what happens first: I'm cruising at 84km/h on the speedo in sixth gear, just above 4k RPM. It's wet, the bike has been out all night in the rain (camping). While holding steady throttle I can sense something that feels like the...

Heya folks. Noticed an issue recently where if my throttle is at a certain position while riding the exhaust sound gets really sputtery and choppy, and I end up losing speed (RPMs get 'stuck' and slowly decrease) unless I let off a bit or increase it. There seems to be a discernible dead zone in...

Installed and tested a new Atlas throttle lock on my beemer (will fit the FZ-6, etc): http://www.atlasthrottlelock.com This was a Kickstarter campaign posted last winter, it looked like a good idea so I opted in. They kept me informed with the occasional email, and it finally...

Hi guys :Sport: Been really busy with my new job so can't post or lurk as much but its nice to be here today. My bike is a '07 FZ6 i bought with 6700 miles on it 15 months ago with an unknown maintenance history. I change the oil and coolant (once on the coolant) and lube the cables and take...

TL;DR : Throttle was cutting in and out and now the bike is dead and won't even start. Need ideas. More detail below. So at the end of a my first ride of the year I was almost home when the throttle cut out on me (felt like I had just completely closed the throttle) even though I was...

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...

Heya folks! Been trying to get my stupid PC3 working properly (I can't seem to get any discernible changes when loading maps, despite having the O2 sensor gone and unplugging the battery for a time between changing the map) and in the midst of doing that, went out on a test ride. I know our...

As the title says, I finally got around to smacking in a PC3 today which I purchased from our very own petergreko! Got the wiring hassle out of the way and everything into place, fired it up and threw the map in (got it from Hellgate, since his setup was nearly identical to mine and didn't seem...

Heya folks, I'm trying to tighten up my throttle freeplay a tad. Found the locknut below the throttle housing and wound that out a fair bit, but any further and it just gets wobbly and feels like it's going to fall off, so I've started looking toward the motor. As per the manual, I...

So, I've been somewhat distracted over the past few years after getting my 2007 FZ6, got bored with street riding and started focusing more on dualsport/offroad riding. After finally getting a pair of bikes that are supremely comfortable and fun to ride off-road, I feel like I can pay more...

Buisy weekend. Replaced fork oil, flushed coolant, replaced brake fluid, oil and filter change, replaced spark plugs, and synced the throttle plates. Should be good to go for the year Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok Family, Spring is here and it's time to RIDE. For all you new riders new to the FZ6, RESPECT THE THROTTLE!! This holds true for any motorcycle you get but believe me, this may be a 600cc bike but it has plenty of power to get even seasoned riders in a bit of trouble. Everyone, lets...

There is info in a lot of posts on this forum about the abrupt throttle, and several fixes for it. I however couldn't find a thread which couples all the information together and tells me what the best/most easy fix is for the abrupt throttle. Possible solutions I found: - replacing your...

Atlas This is my first participation in a "Kickstarter" campaign, and its been fun to track the company's progress; I'm getting a throttle lock from their second batch, anxious to try it out. I've used two different "end-twist"-style throttle locks, both work okay but are...

I've got a bouncing idle problem much like the guy in this video. It happens to me once the bike warms up a bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUsMO0KM-9w As far as I know, there are a couple of possible causes: -ECU needs to be ran through to remap itself after having the battery...

I adjusted my throttle cable free play today and "followed the service manual to the letter" After removing the air box and bat I noticed that on the left side of the bike you can get to the adjustment very easy and make all the adjustments without having to remove the tank,air box,and bat...
