Obvious question, but how many tanks of gas have you observed this with?

Well, I wouldn't be happy about it, but I wouldn't freak out either. I would fill it again, and check the oil more often. When you filled it up to the line after changing it, did you check it after a good run? Sometimes it takes a while for the oil to actually settle in to the filter and you...

Sorry to hear about her misfortune. Anybody could fall at the right stop sign with a high crown, gravel, sand. Explain that to her. it's not the end of the world. If she can't flat foot it, I personally would consider lowering the suspension on it. I think I will eventually do that for my wife...

I do 3&4 simultaneously. Under normal conditions, I don't exaggerate the blip. I personally don't like to dilly-dally holding the clutch in an exaggeratedly prolonged shift. Quick and clean is the goal for me. I don't power-shift (old dirt bike term we used to use for shifting sanz-clutch)...

Those turn signals look very nice. :thumbup: Are they visible from head-on during the day? The head-on pics probably don't do it justice.

water + soap + washcloth and a lint free towel to dry it off. Putting anything that can act as a persistent lubricant on the ass to seat interface is asking for trouble.

It's the Transformers clitoris.

Subscribed I am interested in hearing the outcome of these issues. I had an issue that was corrected by raising the shift lever an inch that had to do with preloading preventing the bike from upshifting.

Problem Solved I raised the shifter position by about 1" and that did the trick. Thanks again.

Thanks to all for the responses, and the helpful advice. I will look for the "How To" on adjusting the shifter and try it out tomorrow. FYI I was tinkering with the gears in my garage, and with a stationary bike I could not get it into 3rd (no preloading), rock the bike slightly forward...

Hi I am new to the forum, and I have a new (to me) FZ6r. Sorry to cross-post, but I performed some searches on shifting issues, and I do need to adjust my shift lever height to better accommodate my foot, but I am more concerned about the bike not wanting to go into the next gear (typically...

Looks like it is in tolerance (10-15mm), but not exactly sure if I am measuring it correctly. The clutch action feels OK. I have not had any problems going into 1st or 2nd, but clicking into 3rd or 4th under moderate to hard acceleration is when I encounter the issue. I do know how to shift a...

Related but different issue Hi I am new to the forum, and I have a new (to me) FZ6r. I found this thread in a search on shifting issues. I also have trouble getting my foot under the gear for up-shifts, but I am more concerned about some times the bike not wanting to go into the next gear...
