I have to be helpful at least once a year right??? lol
as soon as you started explaining your problem I figured that was it considering last time I went in to change my spark plugs and air filter I forgot to put that piece back on!!! I had tank installed and I had the sets back on when I saw that last piece in my bolts / parts bucket! :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: I had to get back in there... I did think for one second ehhhh why would I even need this it wouldn't come apart.... well they put in in for a reason. and you are living proof that the piece is needed.
ill take rep as a form of repayment
Yeah, under normal circumstances, I would also wonder what they flimsy little plastic clamp did. Maybe I'll put it back on with loc-tite, zip ties, and half a roll of duct tape......
JT, as soon as I figure out how to rep, I will!
Online they are $4 but shipping is $15. I just called and ordered two at my local dealer for $6 a piece. They should have them by Tuesday. I just hope I don't blow another line on my way home!!
Oh, and think I figured out what shook it loose! They tore up the street outside the school I teach at. All those vibes must have done it. Shame, I gotta ride over those again to get home.......
Wow glad you didnt lay it down or have a video of a fz6r burning on the side of the road. always listen for audible click when reconnecting lines / connectors and give a tug to double check proper locking. Just a tip.
Thanks for the tip!
Oh, and that plastic piece that I ordered two of...... when I got home I found my missing one in a can of Ninja 250 parts. Oh well, at least I get to fix it today or tomorrow!!
Bikes been running well! Gas mileage still stinks, even on stock and touring maps.... the issue must be my right hand![]()

I don't think I've ever broken 40mpg no matter how much I baby it or keep it in the 6-7k rpm range. It just likes to drink.
Gas mileage? What is that?
Exactly. Not like I care. I drive a Hemi Ram that get 16mpg and a 2dr Rubicon on 35's that gets 14mpg on a good day.
