Any warranty left? I'd take it in.... But I don't know your problem. Maybe too low idle? *shrug*

It basically pays for itself after one syncing as your dealer charges around $85 for...

I have an 2007 model and the above mentioned screw is there and it DOES NOT HAVE A LOCK NUT. There is a spring underneath it to prevent it from backing in/out on its own. If yours has a locknut, your on the wrong screw. It is adjustable with a medium tip, fairly long phillips head screwdriver. The outside (as I recall) of the adjuster screw is almost star shaped with many points (not a round head). Its set in from the frame about...

I rode to work today. Lovely, nice weather. I finished at 5 and walked up to my bike. Someone had left a nut on my seat. Hmmm that's funny thinks I. I didn't recognise it, looked the bike over - nothing missing. Put the nut in my pocket just in case. I set off. Did 120mph down the A34. Hit the back road. I'm doing 70 along a lovely stretch of road when I got NO drive. Engine fine ...

I removed the headlight fairing, I started the bike, checked the headlights and all was working fine. I connected the left flasher for testing and started the bike, but the bike would not start. When I turn the ignition/key on, the display comes on, the tail light comes on but the headlight does not turn on (if my memory serves right, I think the running light comes on as soon as you turn the ...

I am undersprung, and I would like to replace my stock fork oil with a heavier weight. I was wondering what the stock fork oil comes with. And how many quarts will it take to replace the oil? I'm going to try to just replace it with heavier weight oil rather than getting new springs. I weigh about 160 lbs with gear and I don't think new springs will make that much of a difference.

I have a 2004 FZ6. Recently I installed some new parts following an accident, new tank, fairing, handlebars, so the front end electrics were removed and reinstalled. I also have a new left engine cover but when I removed the old one and saw that I needed a Torx driver to remove the coil I just put it back. This was on Saturday. I rode it for about 10km on Sunday and it started fine ...

I did hardly ANY maintenance save for the oil, shaft oil and tires on my vulcan and at 17k miles its been bulletproof.

My odometer and rpm gage just quit working. But my neutral light and bright light indicator still works. The back light even works. I checked fuses, but no luck there. I will welcome any feedback.
