Honestly, I really want to do a service on my own and tear into the engine, get everything shiny and tight again but the engine is such a pain in the butt to access! Thanks for the positivity!
My radiator got a hole in it so looking for replacements. Ebay seems to be having a supply problem, does anyone have the OEM radiator? And a radiator guard if you have one.
That's super interesting!! you sparked a memory of my service check person saying that it was the cam chain tensioner... IIRC they did something to fix it last time but then the sound came back like a week later. and that was like 30 thousand miles ago. I'll look it up in the manual. Definitely...
I also use the max octane fuel I can get from chevron. IIRC my service check guy said it was the cam chain tensioner was the issue and they did get it to quiet down for like a week but then it came back.
looks great so far! I thought about trying to get the FZ8 front end on my bike until I realized the triples are super different. I'm impressed that didn't stop you!
My bike's almost always made this sound, But whenever I started up it sounds like there's something rattling around like a clanking sound for about 1 or 2 seconds and then it starts running/sounding normal. Anyone have any ideas?
My FZ6R was overheating a lot. I was looking at it and realized that I took a big something to the radiator and it leaks something fierce. So I'm trying to buy a new radiator and the OEM one that I found was $500 which seems alittle excessive. Any one have a good source for a cheap but decent...
I almost forgot to put the thread up. I managed the deed. I installed a M unit blue, cost me about 500 bucks, a month of planning, and a week of execution. The results have been pretty good It was a fun project and it's pretty fun with the bike set up this way.
Would I recommend someone else...
Seems like the other night someone tried to start my bike with a screwdriver and wrecked my ignition pretty good. So I'm trying to see if anyone here has any experience or any thoughts on going keyless, what are some systems that you like or how did you do it.
I have an s v6 are 2009 and...
the issue, can you help?
So I finally had a chance to look at my bike in the day light. After taking off the cover on the final drive sprocket I saw that I had lost the nut that's suppose to hold my sprocket in place. So I have to get a new one problem is it's not a standard part.

I was cruising down the freeway yesterday at 60 when my bike suddenly reved high jumping into the 10s. I couldn't figure it out, thought that maybe the bike had somehow fallen into neutral. Well **** that's probably not good, so I shifted through my gears and tried a different one. NO LUCK...
SO i got another jump start and then hopped on and rode it around for about an hour. When I later turned it off and turned it back on it started up with a couple turn overs. The trickle charger is a good Idea, I remembered that the manual said that the ideal alternator RPM was 5000 so I drove at...
so I left my key in the ignition and killed the battery. I managed to get someone to give me a jump start which was great, started the bike up, got it all running and left it running while I put the seat on and everything. figured I'd charge up the battery.
next thing I knowas the bike is 207...
