I bought my FZ6 this fall and only test wrote it in the dark once since it’s now winter here. I thought the headlights were pretty good on the test drive but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on better lights/housings since once I get my license I’ll be riding a lot of dark country highways.

Hey my clutchlever wont disengage properly sonriding is Impossible In the last 3 month it was ridden only one time a month ago, could this be the reason?

here's my '04 fz6! Happy to be here

My fz6 got stolen and hot wired last night. I got it back but now the bike sees that the kickstand is always down even when it is up. I even closed the kickstand switch circuit upstream at the wire connection but still the bike registers the kickstand to be down.

The bike starts when on neutral btw so I really don’t know what to do.

Anyone has an idea?

I'm surprised people ask for more power than this! Coming from a KL650 this is quite impressive.

As the title states, I’m no longer hearing the fuel pump prime when I turn the key to on, however the bike fires right up and everything seems to be running just fine.

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated 👍👍

Recently rebuilt my fz6 and after swapping handle bars my throttle cable no longer returns or snaps back it sticks open how do I fix this issue

Norcal area. Thanks in advance!

Got a 2007 Fz6 that had the rear brake locked in compression when slowing down. Didn’t release until an hour later. Currently, has nothing but give and will not compress down to slow the rear tire. Looking for any insight to this and maybe a tutorial on how I can get this fixed myself!

I have a 2008 FZ6 with a dominator exhaust and I have removed the cat. The bike sounds good but I’d like it to be louder. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it any louder? I know that there is still a cat on the header so is there a way to remove or drill it out or buy a header that doesn’t have a cat. I noticed that the earlier year FZ6 headers don’t have cats in the header so maybe I could buy an older year header and it would be louder? Or does the cat on the header even change how loud it is?

Hi everyone I'm doing my first oil change on my yanaha fz6r but I'm having trouble understanding the manual, I live in Panama and the manual says that depending on the temperature the type of oil changesWhat advice do you give me? And if you can explain to me what the manual says so I can understand it?

I love the engine and the platform of this bike, but the front fairing left something to be desired.

Since this original post: I replaced the water pump with fz6r water pump (can get the partzilla part number if requested). I replaced the radiator with an aftermarket (Chinese?) radiator. Note that it made some claim about increased cooling performance vs factory. Fun observation! When the old radiator had dried out I knocked it on the garage floor and close to BB sized chunks of what looked like dried mud fell out from the inside. When I had these parts off, I was able to see how caked the hoses were with black/brown nastiness. I replaced all the large diameter hoses. I also replaced the tee that splits the pump output between the engine block and oil cooler. It was bad. While this was all apart, I wanted to do what I could for the passages through the engine block. I mixed up a batch of citric acid solution. I think it was like 300g citric acid crystals per gallon of water. I put this in a bucket and used a small submersible pump to pump it up to the tube that discharged from engine to radiator, which let it flow down and exit out the lower front of the engine where the water pump output flows in. I ran this solution on a rinse for about an hour each time, and it turned the solution a nasty yellow as well as pushing out even more solids. After I ran out of citric acid, I gave up on trying to flush the engine anymore and put everything back together and filled up with coolant. The bike now runs great. My temp runs about 180F at steady highway speeds (compared to 240F before). It bumps up to about 195F in stop and go highway on my busy commute home. In extra bad traffic after the bike was heat soaked I have had the fan kick on, which pulls the temp back down pretty quickly. Lesson learned, I think I missed torqueing a hose clamp, and blew off one of my hoses while sitting at a stoplight. Check your clamps!

Conclusions: The cooling system was not maintained, and may have been filled with tap water and corroded heavily. That corrosion and potentially other things clogged up the radiator. The radiator was clogged enough to not got sufficient flow through it, or only some areas were actually contributing to cooling. I will monitor cleanliness of the system by draining and Flushing a few times a year

Anyone know how to mount the speedometer like this?

Selling my beloved ‘08 and am wondering roughly what I should be expecting to pay if the adjustment is needed?

What are the telltale signs that an adjustment is needed?

As always, thanks!

I replaced my clutch cable and removed the fuel tank, i know where 2 of there pipes go on each side underneath the tank but does anyone know where the 3rd one goes when i start my bike it doesnt idle correctly and cuts off

Will 05 fz6s fairings mount on my base model fz6

Are the brackets the same or will I need to find new brackets as well

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?

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?

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.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has a spare windscreen I could take off their hands? Ill pay of course.

I think I got lucky guys. Handle bar broke on the way home the other night. Had to drive it 11 miles with just half a handlebar. 😅😅

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

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

Will the 09 fz6s front fairings fit on my 05 fz6 if so what will be needed to make it work

What size of rear tire are you guys on? I made mistake on my order. 190 50 17 Will it fit? If so, what’s the cons will be?
