throttle

Hello guys, I've had my bike not long now and recently I've noticed that the throttle is sticking slightly. Mods I've done is: FZ1 Bars ProGrips 20mm Bar Risers I didn't notice this right after doing the mods so I'm not sure whether its that, though I used WD40 on the throttle cable...

Recently had my 2004 FZ6S serviced and my local dealer recommends I install a new throttle cable. I have a Haynes manual and the procedure seems pretty straight forward all though I am a novice mechanic. Just wondering if anyone out there has done this before and may have any advice? Thanks...

Hi all! Hopefully i have started this post in the right place, I have had a little search around the forum but no success. I have been on an A2 licence for over two years so now i have a full unrestricted UK motorcycle Licence. I have had my 2004 FZ6 for 2 years with a 33bhp...

After putting 15K on my beloved 08 FZ6 I still hate the stiff throttle. At an ever rapidly increasing rate, I experience terrible pain and have resorted to medicating prior to riding. Any suggestions for loosening up the throttle?? Keep in mind I am not a mechanic... I'll probably need to...

A guide on how to fix that off idle snatch! There are many complaints about off idle transition when getting back on the throttle to pull out of turn. Some would say its that little dead zone or jerk felt when getting back on the throttle which unloads the suspension upsetting the bike. This...

Purchased the new carbtuner. Long story short the #4 will not show on the gage. When I blip the throttle I will come up but at idle goes all the way down. Tried to adjust (clockwise) all the way in and no difference even after blipping the throttle. Taking off the air cleaner to check the the...

I have a 2006, which is basically stock (except for fork coils). Just ordered he PC V. Around $275. Seemed reasonable. I made this investment after deciding that I like this bike enough to keep it for a while (I hope). I really like this bike, except... I am hoping the PC-V will...

Hi, just been cleaning my throttle tube and lubing cables and general cleanup as I was experiencing binding which turned out to be the rusty bars, cleaned and greased, all good. I checked the open and close cables worked ok and sprayed in a bit of WD40 for good measure, they were opening and...

I bought a cable lube adapter and have a couple questions: 1. How do you use one of these with the curve in the throttle cables? That slit along the back of the throttle cables lets the lube shoot everywhere. 2. What kind of lubricant do you use? I had bought some that I thought would...

Anyone else have trouble with the throttle cables after going naked and using a FZ1 bar? When I pull the throttle out farther, it seems to snap back better. Do I have to go back to the factory bars? This is really starting to get me frustrated! I also tried to lube the throttle cables but...

SOLD thanks for looking I have a like new omni-cruise that I need to sell. I bought one for each bike then realized that you can switch them between bikes in like 10 seconds so... don't really need a second one:shakehead: They are 50.00 + shipping new, I'm asking for 40 shipped. I'll accept...

I took my bike out for a chilly ride this past weekend and I just wasn't happy with the amount of un-resisted rotation in there was in the throttle grip before it did anything. The problem is, I have the adjuster all the way OUT and I thought that would take out the slack. is there another...

Hi, hopefully someone on here can help! I have a 2004 fz6 with 22k on the clock, the problem I am having is the bike will start fine, when you pull off and open her up the bike "bogs down" win no response from the fully open throttle. The issue started with me removing the cam chain tensioner...

Got a FZ600, 1986 with 24,000 miles earlier in the week. It started just great!! I even brought an experienced friend to test drive it and look at it. He said it ran great. The guy I bought it from said it had a tune up and carb cleaning recently, and the mechanic said it was just fine. My...

my 2004 fz6 gets freaky every couple weeks and goes through stalling fits. i did some reading and found out about the TPS (throttle position sensor) problems these models have. well, i took my bike to my local yamaha dealer and they ran my vin to check for recalls. turns out our bikes have...

Hi everyone, I'm having all sorts of woes at the moment. My bike had a flat battery (probably because my heated hand-grips have a slow drain, and I haven't ridden for a month or so). I charged the battery and tried to start it today, but no luck - the engine turns over, but doesn't fire...
