    Californian FZ6R throttle goes 16-89 in diagnostic mode

    The service manual says to replace the throttle position sensor if either the fully closed or fully opened values are out of range. You should be able to check the sensor resistance to confirm it is not functioning properly. Interestingly, when installing the throttle position sensor, it says...

    Is this what you are looking for?

    Code 12.

    The service manual describes code 12 as "normal signals are not received from the crank position sensor". It identifies 6 probable causes to check for in a specific order. Number 5 is checking the resistance of the cps, which you already did, and found it to be within range. Unfortunately...

    Lost headlight spring retainer clip.

    The service manual refers to it as a "headlight bulb holder". Did you try contacting a Yamaha dealer?

    Question What are these 2 bolts for?

    The service manual doesn't seem to show anything there other than the metal piece the fairing attaches to. Same with the parts diagrams online. I think it's safe to say there is no other purpose for those bolts.

    What is this rubber strap I've found under the seat for?

    It's the battery strap...holds the battery down.

    OEM Windscreen Material?

    Just wondering if anyone knows what material the OEM windscreens are made from...polycarbonate?...acrylic?...something else? Bike is a 2014 if that makes a difference.

    Question SOLVED: (NEED HELP) Header Nut Size

    According to the service manual, the nuts that go on those studs are 8mm, but no spec is given for the thread pitch. My suggestion would be to take off one of the other nuts and take it with you to Lowe's, then see which thread pitch works with the nut.

    Question Tune Options for LeoVince Underbody

    One more thing I forgot to mention...I know for a fact that the LeoVince system works with the OEM center stand because I have one on my bike. If you haven't done so already, you may want to confirm the SW Motech center stand will also work with the LeoVince system. I have no idea if the OEM and...

    Question Tune Options for LeoVince Underbody

    I put a LeoVince system on my 2014 FZ6R a couple years ago and absolutely love the clean look and the way it sounds. Unfortunately, I won't be any help answering your questions because I had a power commander installed and got it dyno tuned at the same time soon after installing the exhaust. I...

    5th gear whistling

    I have the same issue, and from what I can tell based on other posts, it is not uncommon. I have not seen anyone post about this issue and talk about anything needing corrected or having a failure of any kind related to the noise. I have almost 15k miles with no issues, and I have seen posts...

    Smallest and sportiest windscreen for this bike please help.

    Puig and Zero Gravity are good quality aftermarket options, but neither of them offers a windscreen for the FZ6R that is shorter than stock. There are unbranded Chinese windscreens on e-bay that will fit the FZ6R, but no dimensions are given. Your best bet for a smaller windscreen is to cut one...

    Returning rider loves fz6r

    Congrats on the new rides and welcome to the forum! I also got back into riding motorcycles about 20 years ago when my son got his first street bike after he turned 17. We had some great times riding together.

    Question Oil to use in a 2017

    Been running the last couple years with Motul 7100 20W-50 4T in my 2014. Expensive but gives me really smooth shifts. Only change it once a year at the end of the riding season.

    Abs front wheel repair ideas

    Can't really tell from the pic where the break is at, but I have used ABS cement from the local big box hardware store to fix broken plastic parts on my other bike.

    Givi Top Case and Center Stand

    Congrats on the new ride! I bought a Yamaha OEM center stand from a Canadian dealer a few years back. Can't buy the OEM version in the US. Kelly's Cycle Centre in Ontario does business online as yamahagenuineparts.com and they sell the OEM version as a kit, part number "MAINSTANDKIT". Prices...

    Headlight won't turn on, just flickers

    Did you try contacting the manufacturer? If not, I'd give that a try first. Looks like their email is [email protected]

    Exhaust decision help.

    Congrats on the new ride! I can't help with questions 1 - 3. Question #4 - Neither is "needed", but if you are installing a full exhaust vs a slip-on then you may want one or both. An aftermarket full exhaust will likely change the air/fuel ratio enough to warrant an adjustment for best...
