Frame cracked - Page 6 - Yamaha...
Published (2009-11-02 15:42:00)
It's hard to say it's a casting issue..... certainly not a welded part, either. The giveaway is how straight that line is. The outer face of the frame has a stiffener right at that point that goes towards the center of the bike.... 90° from the face of the frame. Should look a lot like the dividers in a cardboard box used to move glasses, or such. A thin rib, on edge. Cast as one piece with the facing element. The reason I...

This crack looks like it traces right along the joining of one of those stiffeners to the 'face' of the frame. So, would you say this is a casting issue or, is that area welded and the weld is broken? Regarding the FZ1 frame, the...

Throttle Cable Routing
Published (2009-11-06 06:50:00)
Hi, I had a look at the manual on this forum which indicated to me that the cables may be installed incorrectly. Someone must have done some work on the bike at some point and routed them incorrectly. Thanks for all the help. James

Read the posts in this very recent thread, including the links to other threads. FZ6 charging system discussion (Condensed "WTF is wrong with my charging system?") Basically there is very little excess capacity in the FZ6 charging system.

Due to that location I would also be worried if the swingarm was torqued well and regularly checked. The rider weight maybe the concern too due to the forces applied to the ground from the subframe and back from the swingarm. more like a >| ==> >', transformation.

Air pump hose

It was a slow leak that I used the air comp. to keep enough air to get home. The tube took 2 patches

I've got a 2006 and it acts the same way, I never lock the fork for fear of spending an hour getting it unlocked or not being able to get it unlocked at all! I have new keys, lub the cylinder, no other stuff on the key ring, I am going to have my locksmith neighbor give it a look, if he has a solution I will post it.

I have had the same issue. I was unable to lock the steering and turn the parking lights on. I tried WD40 to no effect. I then squirted a healthy dose of 3-1 oil down it. It has been fine since. Nelly

A lot of people on here do it the same way I have so that's probably a good start.
Imagine you are sat on the bike looking down at the battery (so the positive is on the right hand side, negative on the left). The positive lead comes from the terminal, round the back of the battery in the channel between it and the airbox, to come out on the left hand corner. Negative lead comes from the ...

I've had a similar problem. When I approached my local dealer they said that you have to change the ignition switch, the seat lock, the tank lock, all the keys and the immobiliser (at an outrageous price) so I just left it!

Mine are due at my next major service ( 24K miles) I'll have a bigger bike ( FZ1 ) by then so I'm afraid I probably won't be able to help much.

I don't see any issues with actual wiring and connecting them all. What I do see for an issue for you is the load on the system should you use a few of these items at the same time. The FZ6 does not carry a lot of available overhead for power output. Some of the electrical guys here can chime in but I remember reading in other threads that the bike had about 8.6 amps available? (Or was that ...

Have you ever changed the plugs on a FZ6???
I bought a small cheap (under $15)12v air comp. and a plug to match the battery tender plug. Cut off the plug on the air comp. and replaced with new plug. Now all I do is carry the small air comp with a goo string kit and I am good to go for less than $25.
WAY easier than trying to plug into the spark plug (try that in the dark while raining)....
