50t rear sprocket.

Hey guys. Happy to be part of the community.

I’m wanting to change the sprocket for quicker acceleration. Do you think it is as simple as changing this sprocket or do I need to consider all the factors?

Also, does anyone have a link for the correct dimensions for the S1?

Headlight re-do

Meet Shelby, my 2004 FZ6. Had her since 2016. The previous owner put a hefty HID headlight kit in her and it's been awesome, but it's now deteriorated (note one headlight out) and in need of replacing. I'd like to do away with the bulky HID kit and wires and just put the stock headlights back in it to replace the bulbs for LED's. The OEM headlight wiring harness is still intact. I had to buy a new headlight housing because the setup for the HID's has different lenses. It's looking like the OEM setup was wired for a 1 headlight setup with the second light being the highbeam. I'm not a fan of that and would rather have both headlights running at all times AND still have highbeams. Does anyone know how this is possible or have suggestions?

Bought this as my first bike after getting my license. The frame has a little bit of rust so I'd like to fix it. Does anyone know the silver paint code? 2007 FZ6 ABS.

Speedometer reading 2-3x too much

Hello, as the title says, my fz6 reads 2 to 3 times what it should. I tested this by riding while comparing km/h with google maps running on a phone zip tied to the handlebar.

This is a 2007/2008 FZ6 without ABS.

I'm trying to figure out what is causing this. I tried to go to diagnostics mode 07 which is "Vehicle speed pulse", and I get around 60 pulses per full rotation of the rear wheel. I would be very interested to know what another similar FZ6 reads doing this same test.

As far as I can tell sprockets and wheel size is stock.

New grips

Just put new grips on. Was supposed to have blue bar ends on but they didn't fit exactly right and were a different shade of blue so I used the stock bar ends. Think it turned out pretty awesome

Pressão de pneus de uma FZR 600 de 2006

Recentemente comprei uma fazer 600 do ano de 2006,ela veio bem mal estimada. Não possui qualquer autocolante com a pressão que a mota deveria levar. Alguém que tenha uma igual saberia dizer qual a pressão indicada para o pneu dianteiro e o pneu traseiro? E se poderem, aconselhem também bons pneus. Obrigado

TANK BOLTS REPLACEMENT

What is the size/thread pitch for the 2 bolts used to hold down the tank? The person who had the Nike before me stripped the bolts and the bolts he used are not the original. Which ones should I buy? For a 2005

UK FZ6 S2

I know not all UK FZ6 S2s are restricted to 78hp but is it a ecu limit or a plate or something? and is it just a case of changing the ECU tune or something further?

Adding a circuit that comes on with ignition.

So I'm asking one of the Android Auto screens, but I can be a bit forgetful and know I'll kill the bike if I run it directly to the battery.

My question is is any of the first panel switched, or is it all a constant 12v.

If it's constant I could always add a relay and use the headlights or something as the switch for the relay.im just trying to plan out the easiest way to make sure it doesn't stay on when I turn the bike off, so I don't inadvertently kill my battery.

Topcase

Would a Fazer S1 topcase stand be compatible with an S2 naked?

Had to pull my motor out to weld a hole in the crankcase, now I’m installing it and idk where these vacuum lines go in

There’s 4 of em, and I’m assuming it’s one for each throttle body. But where is the vacuum coming from.

This bike has ruined me

I need a spare bike but there’s nothing this thing can’t do so I’m stuck in Hamlet mode.

What are your recommendations for something to duo with the fz6? Supermoto? Fz09? Dammit here i go again

Question regarding sidelights

Got my '07 fz6 s2 a few months ago and have been modifying some cosmetics to make it look more modern/less used. I've been having trouble identifying what bulbs are used for the sidelights/positional lights. Can anyone here help me out? Also if any of you have suggestions for the main lights, like some decent h4 and h7 bulb options that give off a more blueish/whiteish color I would greatly appreciate it! I already have the dual headlight mod installed, but I'm guessing the type of bulbs used doesnt mess with that.

Thanks!

Starter won't crank despite new ignition on 2009

I'll do my best to explain quickly...

The bike was stolen, so the ignition tumbler was gone and only wires remained. I've since gotten a new tumbler.

Things I know: Starter is functional Battery is charged Fuses aren't blown New tumbler has correct continuity when turned on

Things I've tested:

  • Using old exposed ignition wires, I grounded black and blue directly to battery (jumper cabled, I used a car battery), and twisted together red and brown. Everything works. I can crank the motor no problem.
  • Using the new ignition with wires plugged into their correct place, I can wake up the dash and fuel pump, but the bike still won't start. I don't think those black and blue wires mentioned earlier are being grounded.

I guess I'm wondering if any fz6 whizz has experienced this and knows what might be preventing these 2 wires from closing their circuit. I can't even tell what they are connected to after hours of looking at wiring diagrams.

If I can answer anything that clears stuff up, just ask. This is kind of a shot in the dark and I appreciate any input.

Maybe laggy throttle response after slip on exhaust install?

07 fz6. Just installed a new slip on exhaust and maybe it's my imagination but I swear there's a tiny hesitation in throttle response until it gets past 1500 rpms. Any advice?

Looking for advice on a Black/Gold Wrap

Hey all! like the title suggest I want to wrap my FZ6R with some black matte and gold (maybe shiny) vinyl.

Thanks in advance :)

05 fz6s, ran diag now it wont start

Bought dis(will present later), already rode it a bit, then decided to run diagnostic and ithad 2 old codes, 12 (crankshaft position) and 30(bike fell). Afterclearing the codes it wont run (codes didnt show up again). Coincidental fuel filter clog or did i screw up? I ran some ofthe diag codes with red button on and noticed pump kept working nonstop on some of the codes. Was that the problem?
