Hey guys. I just picked up a 2006 FZ6 with 527 miles on it for 4500$. Does anyone happen to know what sizes wrench I need for the oil plug and the filter cap?? Its not a size I have and I live in the sticks so I have to drive over an hour to get more tools. Also, if anyone has an advice on the oil change Id appreciate it! I'm new to the sport world, ive been driving an old kawasaki 1981 550 for the past couple years. oooohh.. and i almost forgot. the clucth has about 1/4 inch play in it. when you pull the clutch in it goes just a little bit before it meets resistence. Should I have any concern with this?? Thanks guys, Austin

I am having an issue with my 04 yzf600. I adjusted the clutch lever so that it is up to manufacters specs. now it engages really late, like the lever is almost stopped before engaging. is there an easy fix for this? the bike does not even have 9k on it.

Sorry,lots of questions. Hey my name is justin. I've been working hard and earning money and im about to buy my first bike. And of course like any other sane person in the world i immediatly want the coolest bike on the market. yamaha R1. But, i have heard its a hell of alot of power especialy for first timers. i have plenty of self control. first car was a 415 hp 69 camaro. had it for 6 months no tickets or wrecks. and now i drive an 04 z06 1 ticket still safe (had that for a year). now my controversy is bewteen the r1 and r6. is the power of the r1 so much thats its not the self control but just generaly difficult to control? i've had some people tell me to get the r…

Hi I have an FZ600 1988. My front suspension is a little bit too soft. I'm planning on hardening it. I'm not sure if I should add and equal amout of ouil (2 tbsp) on both forks. Or add some air pressure into it. I think that putting aire pressure would be a better idea but is having the same pressure on both forks hard to do ? I have a compressor by the way. BeerBaron

I've just got my YBR today and I know I have my first service at 6 weeks.. unfortunately I'll be back at university by then, but there's another problem. Manual says don't take revs over 6000 before you've done 600 miles... I'm going to need this on the A roads down from Surrey to Southampton at the end of this month... Will I really damage the engine if I do this? Also I'd need to run it back up here to get the dealership to do my first service... Any help would be appreciated.

Help!!! I have a 2006 faired fazer 600 and above 80 mph i gat a lot of vibration through the handlebars, more so when 2 up does anyone else hve the same problem or even a cure

Ok here is the Problem i just bought a 2001 600r and i was changing the oil and everything when i decided to cut off the front turn signals to get some flush mounted ones. when i cut off the front turn signals all the back ones do now is flash fast and both flash when i turn on the signals like warning lights. i went to put on the new signals and they all flash like warnings when i try to turn the turn signal on. also on my bikes dash the turn signal indicator doesnt come on when the flashers come on. please let me know what the problem is.

The problem is the lock no the battery, does not lock the wheel and it should him I change all because it has the immobilizer …!!!!!

Hey everyone I have been riding since I was about 9 and just now got my first bike. '86 FZ 600. I was wondering if it would be a good starter bike, also it currently does not start. It tries too, I hear the motor trying to turn and ocassionaly it will backfire. I have the Clymer manual for it but I thought I would also get a couple of people's ideas as well to find out where to start looking. Thank you gor your help.

HELLO EVERYBOSY Has no one from you with central faces lock problem and which solution you they gave, it locked the wheel and to me they said that it should I together change electronic and all the locks …\ THANKS PANAYOTIS

Unfortunately no garage means I have to keep my 56 plate YBR outside under a heavy duty cover. I'm only on L plates and it's not getting heaps of use other than mincing round a local car park practicing manouvres whilst getting my nerve up to go on the road post CBT but the rear brake is squeeking like mad and getting on my nerves. Apart from "get a garage" has anyone got any advice to lessen/get rid of the racket?! I might also find myself getting in trouble when I go back to rider training for some lessons 'cos they'll know if I'm cheating and using my rear brake 'cos the noise really gives me away It's probably the weather etc 'cos I don't remember it being bad…

Hi all,need a manual or even owners handbook for 1982 xj400,been all over the internet,found no listings at all!!!! maybe its the same engine as the xj55o?anyone help? Cheers Buzz

I'm looking for a new or like new carburator for this bike. I tried rebuilding mine and ended up with discontinued jets at the store and the float valve lets the gas leak right into the air filter.....I'm getting a little pissed. I realise I could adjust the floats tabs and find the jet but if I take that damn thing apart one more time and can find a cheap carb I may just buy it... Man it's hard to get that carb out even after removing the scews to the air box fitler... Any suggestions on carbs and an easier way to remove them?

hey does anyone no if there is a blue flame exhaust can for a 05 R6??

I have an imported 'F' reg Yamaha FZRR400 that has handbook/manual in japanese. Can anyone 'walk me through' cleaning/maintenance of the carburettor? The bike is idling at 6000 revs so have decided to clean them. There is one butterfly wheel that appears to be stuck rigid. Any information/advice very welcome.

Hi everyone, A girl who rides in our group picked up a '93 Seca and the seat is a bit tall for her. She has shaved off some of the seat to get lower, but it's not enough. Can she do anything to get it lower? I know on some newer bikes you can replace links in the rear suspension to get it lower, but I am not sure about this Seca? Any help is appreciated, thanks. Kent

Hi just found out my front wheel on my 2007 Fz6 (underseat exhaust model) is buckled due to a pot hole. was wondering would an R6 front wheel be interchangeable ? It looks the same , 5 spoke black model. trying to save a few quid from buying new wheel (£300+). anyone one tried interchanging the wheels?

I have not ridden a bike in too many years ( decades even ) but now have the time and inclination to return to a bike I never owned, but wished I had. I have been trying to read up on the above bike, there seems to have been some manufacturing outsourcing to other countries for this bike ( Brazil ? ) and if so, are they as good ? If not how do I tell where it came from without s/n or similar. One comment I saw said they often stalled in the rain, surely not ? If I get to viewing a possible bike, does this model have any specific quirks I should out for ? A few adverts seem to offer very low mileage < 20k, for something approaching 17-18 years old, is this normal. …

i have a yamaha tzr 50 which has been derestricted recently it has been cutting out after riding for about 5 mins then keeps doing it...i have had it apart and cleand out the carb fuel tank and such which went fine for about 3 days then same problem she cuts out i roll with her thwen she dies lights go out but the dash lights stay on i did notice that when i revved the oil light gets brighter depending on how much i rev....so i did it again and just 10 mins ago i went for a ride and if i try to for example kick it into 3rd gear she sounds horrible and wont go above 50KM she does do 90km max so yea then it feels like someone slammed on the breaks and i begin to slow down b…
