    Sputtering only at full temp

    Looking for a bit of help here. I ride my 2006 FZ6 as my daily commuter. Over the past couple of months it has developed a shutter/sputter/miss at low RPM (1000-2300), but only when the engine is up to normal temp. Most of the time I only notice it near the end of my 15 minute commute, but it...

    Bike not that loud but I still hear ringing in my ears after riding

    I might have a mild case of tinnitus since I only suffer from the buzzing and ringing for 10 - 12 hours. Every time I wake up, the music of buzzing and ringing in my head disappear. The problem is that I ride my bike daily so I experience this every time. My exhaust pipes aren't even that loud...

    1st unofficial post from L3FTY, after storage, injectors leaking?

    L3FTY Hi and welcome to the 4'uhm Mr L3fty. I am sharing this here vs a PM as I think others will benefit from your methods and perhaps the outcome of this process. That said I also find it unlikely 8 different injectors leak so we are on the same page. What I want to question is the...

    time to upgrade?

    Hi folks, this year the Naked Wazp turns 10. So I'm thinking its maybe time to venture to the showrooms and start the hunt in earnest. I have been looking at specs on a range of bikes but it comes down to $$$ and the bang for buck I have looked at Guzzis and I have looked at Ducatis- when I...

    Let the Modding Begin!

    It's that time of year where some have the bike stored and will do the mods while the riding season is less than optimal. Here are some ideas to give inspiration and at least put a smile on your face. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc

    First ride with the R6 forks on my 05 ------- WOW

    So for a long time my riding pals have been telling me how different the bike is with R6 forks. Words like 'more planted in the corners', 'the best mod ever for the FZ6', and stuff like that. I figured they were better, but as time passed I wondered if my expectations had grown bigger than what...

    Charging Issue

    Been awhile since I've been on. Hope you're all well. I've poured through some of the stickies on the topic, but I wanted to solicit some thoughts on my current charging situation. FYI, I have a PCV and autotune on there, as well as BD-43s headlight mod. Mine is an '09, had since new...

    Modifications

    I intend on purchasing a used Akropovic exhaust for my 08 FZ6. I intend on swapping out the air filter with a K&N. Will I need to have a power commander for these types of mods? I intend on purchasing one in the future, but not any time soon. I remember reading that Akropovic tuned...

    It's Been A Long Time

    Hello to my FZ-6 Family, Man, it's been awhile since I've been on this Forum. I've been slipping, well, finally the weather is about the change and riding will once again be at the forefront. Each year I tell myself I'm going to ride more and I always miss that mark. How many of you feel...

    Recommendations for LED replacement for tail lamp?

    Just wondering if anyone has tried any of the LED bulb replacements and if they worked okay with our tail/brake lights. I've found a 1156 model that appears to have the same base/current/voltage demands of our stock bulbs. Looking to change because mine keep burning out. Both filaments this...

    2017 Spring Street Vibrations Motorcycle Rally

    You know what time it is? It's time to beat up on the local motor units again in front of a live audience. The unfortunate victim this time, the sergeant for the motor unit. Weak effort in my opinion but at least he didn't drop his bike like the other cop last year. I'm 5-0 against the Reno...
