    R6 exhaust (headers)

    So I know there are a lot of threads about the r6 header swap on the fz6r. My main question is what year r6 headers will DIRECTLY fit onto the fz6. I believe that the fz6r is designed off the (99-05) or (02-05) r6 engine? Would any later year r6 engine fit? Anyone with experience that knows...

    Fz6r purring noise

    Is it a slow sustained noise that modulates with the revs or is it just a little burst of noise? Could this be a pipe leak or a water pump issue?

    Fuel tank removal

    Thanks for the help, I understand how to physically take the tank of however im just trying to grab an idea of what lines under the tank actually contain fuel… I believe it is just the one that leads of the the fuel rail? Do any other lines act as a fuel line or so?

    Fuel tank removal

    I wish to take my tank of for a new air filter and proper clean on everything else under there. However, I wish to know how, there are two breather lines that lead straight out the bottom of the bike. Should anything leak out if I unplug them considering there just for air and over filled fuel...

    Need Help Can i de restrict by modification?

    In the throttle body there is a butterfly which controls the movement of air, controlling the engine speed. As can be seen from the photo (below), a metal plate is placed to stop the ( i guess you would say the actuator) from fully opening hence restricting full throttle. The plate acts like a...

    Bike will not start

    Thanks milepig, Yeah I charged the battery and it started fine. Suppose the battery just didnt have enough crank amps to get it to turn over.

    Bike will not start

    So it's been a while since I've ridden the bike, but each week I have warmed it up just to keep it somewhat healthy whilst its sitting there. Today however is a different story, it just didn't start. Battery sounded fine at the beginning but slowly started losing juice after numerous attempts...

    Clutch Not Fully Disengaging?

    Good stuff, at least its fixed now (somehow). I sometimes find myself in the same dilemma of experimenting different ways of downshifting in regards to my foot position. I first thought this was the problem until the clutch cable was tightened. Soon after being tightened, a few rides was all it...

    Question Radiator hose

    I honestly dont think that the Fz6r would differ that much from anything apart from the fairings on the fz6. So if you get hoses for the fz6/xj6 I think it shouldn't be a problem. Try calling Yamaha and asking for sizes between the two.

    Aftermarket mirrors

    To be honest the stock mirrors are really good, I can see everything around me. Did the bike come with stock mirrors and you changed them or did it come with ninja mirrors for some reason.

    '09 FZ6R Jerky When Cruising On Flat Road

    So sounds like Jerzee55 was right, tight spots in the chain would most likely happen to do this, especially as the chain would differ in tightness, so every time the chain went through the sprocket it would hit one tight spot right before the normal tension, this would fluctuate revs when your...

    Clutch Not Fully Disengaging?

    In some cases having too much oil may make it hard to find neutral. But if it hasnt been happening since the day you bought I would just stick with the cable for now.

    Clutch Not Fully Disengaging?

    Sounds like a clutch cable to me, when I first got my bike it took me a few tries to even get the bike to downshift whilst riding, it just didnt want to slot into gear. This was adjusted when the cable was tightened. Perhaps you might need an oil change too, if your struggling to find neutral...

    Michelin Pilot Road 5 Tyre Pressure?

    Quick one, if you dont mind in what bounds do you weigh. I come in at around 80kg. But will give 36/41 a go either way, especially as I have no reference point.

    Michelin Pilot Road 5 Tyre Pressure?

    Last week I got Michelin Piloat road 5 tyres for my fz6r. Just wondering if anyone would have the same tyres, if so what pressures are you running. On stock tyres I was running 34F / 38R. Handled awesome disregarding the squarring of the tyre... any suggestions would be greatly helpful. Cheers
