Vibrating at 6k-7k revs

[Edd]

Another silly question

My bike seems to have a spot between 6k and 7k revs where I can feel a vibration, particularly through the pegs. Above this, no worries, no more vibration than normal, same for below. Yet between, it feels... rough. Any ideas what this might be?

It's going in for it's first service this weekend, so I will also be asking the garage, but I'm going for a long ride tomorrow and thought I may as well ask advice beforehand!

I'm curious about that too, thought it was somewhat normal

We all seem to have it, so nothing to really worry about.
A couple of us have noticed it get better after the throttle body sync, but not really sure that's the cause.

yep, i noticed it the other day as well, i even felt it in the seat, i'll go ask a local shop , the guy also has a fz6r, i'll post what he says. thanks

Like dart said, we all have it to a degree. Synchronize the throttle bodies, and it mostly goes away.

Haven't experienced it myself but I do recall older post about this....one statement being the pleasure of their passenger in the vibration range LOL

Throttle body sync was the solution

If thats true then I will leave my throttle body alone and just cruise at 7k whenever I have a girl on the back. In fact, does anyone know how to adjust it to get more vibes?

Funny you guys bring this up again. My wife experienced the vibrations this weekend. She said she enjoyed the ride, but wasn't specific if the vibrations were the reason...

:rof:

You kept it at 7k the whole time didn't you

It would seem as if all of the fz6rs get this lovely vibration. I get it as well. It did get much much better after a nice throttle body sync but it's definately still there...just much less annoying. I used to feel it both on the pegs and the seat but now only feel it slightly on the pegs...

either the throttle body sync helped or my ass is getting bigger...

Is the throttle body synch. a warrenty issue or due you have to buy it.

Do a search... I forget where it's at, but there is an e-bay store that has a mercury manometer for around $50 shipped... non-mercury one's can be found for $100, then follow fastprof's guide (the links for the manometers are in here):

It is not warranty, it's kinda general maintenance, and from what I've hear, our bike is not as bad as some that might need it every 4k miles.

Like dart said, this falls under "general maintenance" or "tuning" and is not covered by the warranty. But it's so easy to do, that I couldn't imagine why anyone would pay the dealer the hourly rate for something that takes less than 30 minutes.

sorry for my last message , i am new to the site and did see the link of how to do the job ,but yet to get the meter to sync the throttle , to your opinion
does it do damage at the mean time or its just a vibration...

thanks a lot

No, it does no damage. It's just an annoying vibration.

Only annoying for some... heh? I hear it's not so annoying for some passengers, actually, rather enjoyable. Only "damage" may be your passenger wanting to spend more time riding your bike with you then... just "with you".
sorry, couldn't resist.

Oddly enough, I don't feel the vibes thru the pegs--just only thru the seat!

But dangit, another thing to buy for the bike... this is seriously starting to get pricey...

Just get together with someone that has the tools and do it together. Share in the fact that you are wrenching on your bikes and enjoy the company of a fellow rider and maybe a few cold ones.
