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?
I need a complete front faring I wrecked a few days ago and would like to start repairing the damage, With that being said colors don’t matter used or new the bike is getting a complete rebuild everything will be getting painted in the process
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
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?
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.
Would a Fazer S1 topcase stand be compatible with an S2 naked?
There’s 4 of em, and I’m assuming it’s one for each throttle body. But where is the vacuum coming from.
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
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!
Hey guys is this correct amount of slack ? The chain also jumps on the center stand when i let go off the throttle while on the bike on the center stand ? Thanks
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:
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.
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?
Hey all! like the title suggest I want to wrap my FZ6R with some black matte and gold (maybe shiny) vinyl.
my only issue is I am really not an artsy guy and cant for the life of me figure out how im going to make this look remotely good. ive been trying to design using photoshop but my skills arent up to snuff so I was hoping someone on here either has a black and gold fz6 i can steal inspiration on or any tips at all.
Thanks in advance :)
Any options out there for a FZ6 s2 for plug and play turn signals? I don’t want to really have to splice any works and hopefully something fork mounted
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?
