I hope everyone is doing well. Been a while since I sold my bike. Just found a few things while cleaning the garage. Figured I'd rather the stuff go to someone on here instead of eBay even if I don't get as much money. Willing to take a loss to get them outta my house and put some cash in my...
I've had my bike a little over two years now, so it's time to change out my fluids. Can someone recommend a good brake fluid ? I've heard good things about Motul rbf600 and Amsoil. Any opinions about them ? Thanks
Had a 2009 Black FZ6R stolen from my house in Knoxville, TN the other night. Been checking the usual, craigslist, eBay, etc. Was wondering if you guys notice anything if you could let me know. It was basically all black everything. Black retrofit HID, brake/clutch levers, frame sliders...
Hi guys, I want to paint the front fender with plasti dip flat black. I saw 4 bolts, 2 hex and two allen, and a clip retaining the brake hose. Any suggestion in the remotion of the brake hose clip?
Thanks in advance!
Tweaked the bike two weeks after I bought it because I was getting sore thumbs and hands. The culprit was the stock angle of the brake and clutch levers being far too high. If you too are experiencing sore thumb joints and hand cramps I strongly recommend this fix.
Basically rotate your brake...
Hey guys, new here just bought a 57 FZ6 for my first bike and have today changed my brake fluid. I have searched (evidently unsuccessfully) to find out what the rubber hollow mould thing inside the rear fluid reservoir is? It attached to the cap and is like a flexible cup that sits in the fluid...
Hi guys! I've noticed that the brake light does not reliably light up when the front brake lever is pressed. It lights up just fine when the rear brake is pressed. This leads me to believe that the front brake switch is faulty. Anyone know if this is an easy fix, or if it's under warranty? I...
Got the bright idea to use my other yamaha's forks and did the swap. This is simple write up being that ill probly forget something, but if you have questions ill do my best to provide details.
Ive thought about swapping some of the parts from the 600r a couple of times in the past, but...
Hi Everyone,
So I did something really stupid yesterday. I had a new front tire mounted and when I went to reinstall the wheel (my first time doing this) I somehow managed to incorrectly install the left brake caliper. I put it on in such a way that both brake pads were pushed together and...
So I took a ride this morning and all was good till I stopped. When I got back on the bike my turn signals and brake light no longer worked. When I got home I checked the fuse and sure enough it was blown. I replace the fuse and now my right turn signal works properly but when I turn the left on...
Hi all,
I took a spill a week and a half ago. I'll post a thread about it, what i learned, advice, all that jazz soon. Came out relatively unscathed because of all the gear I had on. In the meantime though I'm in the midst of repairs. I dropped my bike off to the shop but they won't be...
In short: Rear suspension bottoms out, I lose a rear cylinder screw, REAR BRAKE STOPS WORKING. Must reinstall screw, and increase preload due to license plate damage from fender eliminator kit hitting rear tire. Will report back. See image.
Yesterday as I was leaving home I stopped briefly...
This question will come off rather 'noobish' of me....but I wanted to ask to save myself the hassle of multiple trips to the motorcycle store...or returning parts online...
I need to replace my rear brake pads.
I'd like to purchase EBC sintered brake pads, but my local dealer's EBC catalog...
