My Internet is too shit to post a photo much less a video... My bike won't crank, when I press the starter I hear a pop then all cluster lights go out. Turn key off then back on and the cluster comes back on. Almost got stranded with this but tried to push start and it ran home just fine. Battery voltage is good, but at home now and same thing happens when I try to start. Anyone got thoughts on this, bad starter?
For those of you with naked conversions can anyone help me out with how I mount the tach? I’ve got an 06 FZ6 pictures would be appreciated
Just curious of how’s yall experience went with the whole process whether it was the fitment, overall daily use and everything.
I've had no problem bump starting the battery since my first incident, but I did some forum digging and found that it may be caused by my idle speed.
My idle, read from the cluster, was around 980-1000...
From reading the forums, I'm not even close to the idle it should be at.
How would one go about changing it, and is this the cause for my dead battery??
What do y'all recommend...?
I stalled for the first time ever on the 04' FZ6 I just bought and it wouldn't start after stalling, so I had to call a buddy to help bump start it.
The check engine light was just flashing when trying to regular start, the fuel injection was primed and working, the starter was clicking, but no start.
The bump start thankfully worked, but I don't want to be stranded on the other side of the island (Oahu), after a ride/errands, and have to bump start it.
Hello all! Recent owner of a new to me 2009 FZ6R with 20k miles, absolutely loving this bike with all my heart howeverrr i have notice that shifting into and out of first and second gear is.. well i really dont know how to describe it besides crunchy!? Regardless of rev matching while coming to a stop and down shifting or i even tested it while fully stopped and going from second into first is just uh kind of concerningly crunchy, i really want to know if i need to get this into my shop on tuesday or is simply a quirk of this older bike!
Hey guys it seems like i have run out of screw room here ? i can’t seem to get the screw there all the way to loosen the slack . Any tips ?
Just had to get new tires. This is my 2008 FZ6 S2 I’m the original owner I’ve got 39,000 kms on it.
Hey all! Just bought this FZ6 S2 (2005) and was wondering if having a somewhat stiff/kinda hard to rotate throttle is normal? Or if there is any fixes for that.
Note: it also seems to get stuck if I twist it midway/full, and have to manually rotate it back to no throttle open.

Help please I am changing my 2007 fz6 to led lights so I can see and be seen at night. One light is an H4 and for the low beam I can figure it out. Sources say it’s an h7 but that will not fit. Anyone else done this and know the answer?
I’m getting into stunting and I already have a Grom that I’ve got the basics for wheelies down but I want to move onto a bigger bike. I have a 2005 FZ6 and I’m looking into stunting it or if it’s a good idea. I’ve done a good bit of research into the parts I’d want to get and upgrade but I’m wondering if anyone has experience stunting one or if there are any reasons I shouldn’t. Thank you!
Hi all, I recently dropped my bike which cause some damages and the coolant to go into the engine Did a flush prior and fill it up with new EO but today found out that the coolant still entered places like the clutch and geara
Should I continue with more engine flush and clean up the coolant and wait for something to breakdown or do a full overhaul, which method would be good?
07 fz6 with 668 miles and single owner. I assume this is stock but I've never seen anything like it. Is this normal?
Came home today to a tear in the top of my Bilt cover. I forget where I got it, can anyone link me to a nice cover (preferably one that won’t break the bank, but not a deal breaker) for my 2008? Thank you!
Loved every minute. But does anyone have a headlight bulb upgrade link, I want a bright white light, yellow just doesn’t cut it.
got my sprockets and chain both changed over the weekend this was a problem with the old chain too figured it was just worn out so i replaced it, After the fix i asked the mechanic if the slack was good and he said yes. But after riding for a few hours, it’s like this. Any idea ?
Over the last couple days, this bike has started really bogging weirdly when under throttle, in gear or otherwise. It pulled really nice with no signs of this earlier this week. It’s intermittent and I cannot figure out what it is. Is it the fuel pump? Something wrong with the ECU? Please, any suggestions
Anyone here tried cbr600f4, yamaha thundercat and similar? What is the body position, is it really much uncomfortable compared to fazer's?
My last bike was VFR750F RC36, it was ok, but I could have some wrist pain.
This year I tried KTM890ADV and that was my first bike with handlebars not clip ons and I was amazed how it is good at slow speed compared to previous bikes...
