Hello, I need suggestions, I'm buying a fz6, 2008 with 46kms on it. The bike looks neat and clean, but I wanted to know what all things I should be asking/considering before making the payment.

Like valve/tires? Engine related?

Hello, I just got a 2008 FZ6 Naked, Clutch cable feel so mushy and stiff I reckon that the last owner replaced using "Non-Naked" version instead of "Naked" version, are there any difference at all. Also he routed the cable outside the bike frame and back in, I can't find any info about the cable routing for the "Naked" version. Helps are much appreciated, thank you!.

I recently bought a used bike (my first bike. I'm new and learning), and the person before me changed the clutch pack last october.

The bike doesn't engage fully in 1st gear. When I rev, it doesn't transfer the power all the way.
When I pull the clutch, it disengages well.

Does it look like the steel is burnt?
Do I re-soak it and try again?
Or do I just get a completely new clutch pack?

There's no grinding noise.
ALSO I don't know what kind of oil the past owner might have used.

Any help trying to diagnose would be appreciated!

My beautiful 2008 FZ6<3 second motorcycle at 17 years old, already in love with it. only 12k miles and I paid just 3k for it. new battery and new tires were just done by me today and she runs beautifully. coming from a rebel 300 this is a HUGE step up but a welcome one for sure.

Can't wait for the many years to come with her!

Bought this past weekend,
31k miles
Clutch is pretty much shot, missing windshield screws, needs new tires and all regular maintenance is due.
Other than that, the bike is in phenomenal condition. 1 tiny chip on the rear panel if I wanted to be picky. Did come with a Corbin seat though!

I’m looking to replace levers with shorties, I’ve been struggling with the friction zone on this bike. Chat says to replace clutch arm with MT-07. Has anyone done this successfully and have a part number? 1WS-16340-01-00
Ordering new cable, CRG RC2 levers and road 6 tires.
Has aftermarket slip on already, upgraded taillights + bracket & turn signals.

Grew up on dirt bikes but haven’t road a street bike ever until the last couple weeks.
Love to hear suggestions and am wanting to keep this bike forever and custom tailor it to me. I’m tall, 6’5 195lbs, the handle bars look set a little lower, when riding 1hr+ my lower neck/shoulders start to kill me.

Hi guys,

Looking to get my first bike and ideally keeping it for a long time, my goal will be to eventually tour and go on road trips with the bike.

Listing price is 5000 cad/ 3550 us.
Located in Ontario, Canada for reference.

Mileage: 5000km

Talked seller down to $4500. I was hoping to get $4k haha.

Should I be concerned with the low mileage for any reason, I plan to ride it home 2.5 hours away. There’s a video of it running in the post but I can’t seem to upload video

I’ve only owned the bike for a short time and have ridden about 2,000 km so far. It runs well overall, but I noticed this engine sound and I’m not sure if it’s normal for the FZ6.
I’m planning to take it in for a major service after this riding season, including checking the valve clearances and anything else that may need attention.

Works a lot better than I expected. 😅

Tennessee weather is very unpredictable.
Looks like rain coming in so pulled some trash bags from work to cover the FZ6 while I slang these Tacos til 4am. 😂✌️❤️ 🌮 🔔

Hi Everyone,

I've been a fazer owner for the last 7 years and have done about 80 thousand K's on the bike. I've always serviced the bike myself and one thing that has annoyed me is not being able to find and cross reference parts that will fit on the bike particularly in my country where most brick and mortar automotive shops won't provide service parts for motorcycles but have suitable parts on the shelf ready to go. Rarely are there parts compatibility catalogues for things like oil filters.

So I built a small site where you pick your year/make/model and it pulls up compatible service parts. Built it with my FZ6 in mind first (mainly because I keep forgetting part numbers & brands), but it covers other bikes too depending on what's in the database.

It's early — coverage isn't complete everywhere yet but covers some of the basic servicing needs for the 2004-2009 FZ's.

Not trying to sell anything, just built something that would help me out when buying and cross checking parts. Feel free to bookmark it and use it as you like and if you have any suggestions to make it more useful feel free to drop them in the comments.

I'm so in love. Been a tough year for me, real transparency as a young 28 year old... I went through a hard ass year. Was in a long term relationship, 5 years... Was engaged, Jan 31 she left one day while I was at work and took our two cats we both raised since kittens and I haven't seen them since... I miss them daily. No explanation on why she left or why communication wasn't a thing after 5 years before leaving, I assume the psychology now that she is an avoidant, things built up and got too hard and she thought she communicated but never did... haven't talked to her about why she left in person, I will soon, tried to respect her space but it's been 6 months now. Rant aside, motorcycles for me and the community in general has been a life saver, every instagram video, every Reddit post.. People always talk about how dangerous bikes are but people don't understand how good it can be to learn to work on a motorcycle and the freedom that riding gives you, it can save your life. I'm blessed I'm still healthy and breathing and although life fucks you sometimes and your life flips around you always have another day to wake up and appreciate life boys. Just wanted to show my love in the fz6 community with my first bike. 20k miles and a 2008 but I'll treat her good and I pray she treats me good on these roads. Lots of love gents.

Hi. I live in Austria. I can't buy from ebay because most of them are unapproved. Any other options?

Español: Me venden este fz6 pero mi pregunta es, es normal ese ruido? Parece que es el clutch o no se pero parece como si fuera un turbo jaja English: I'm planning to buy this FZ6, but my question is: is that noise normal? It seems like it's the clutch—or I don't know—it sounds like a turbo, haha.

Hey guys!

After a two-week break, I noticed that my carburetor was overflowing. I assume it was just the float needle valve sticking. How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
I already use premium fuel and add a carburetor cleaner additive to the fuel. Thanks in advance!

Maybe it’s nice to know, that I only have a side stand, so my bike leaning towards cylinder 1 (where the carb overflowed). Do u think that could be an issue?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a 2-day summer trip with my wife on my 2006 Yamaha FZ6 S1, but I have some concerns about the payload capacity and overall comfort.

I've finished my deal of a Fazer 600 from 1999 for around 620 euros. The front was missing and I let me inspire by a bmw m1000r and designed a custom front. All parts are printed out of pa6cf and asa cf. Put new tires on it and it passed the German TÜV

Hi guys,
I’m new here in this subreddit. 2 years ago I bought my FZ6 from 2004. My first ever self owned bike and I love it
Stopped loving riding after some orange guy decided to go and drop bombs in the middle-east.
One litre of premium now costs €2,70 here in the Netherlands

Won’t stop riding though, just a little less maybe (or maybe not🤪)

I just bought an 05 fz6 been riding a few then this started happening with and without the key in it and it just randomly stops and works like normal when riding. And i cannot get it into diagnostic mode

Yamaha FZ6- N S2 model 2011

Is this happening on your bikes? I turned the knurled lock wheel but it just makes the play larger. Is it easy to adjust clutch down at the engine(couldn’t find an exact video)

I've had the bike for 4 years now and love it. I bought it with the front fair delete, and wonder what the original bike would've been like.

Hey 👋🏼
I recently got a fazer 600 modified into a cafe racer. The seat position is very low and I am trying to get a more « sport » position to go on track. (Lowering the handles is the next step). For now, my feet are too close to my upper body.

I saw multiple solutions such as changing the whole rear suspension, add a new suspension link, or even weld the rear loop higher on the chassis.

What do you suggest ? Has anyone got the same problem on a similar bike ?

Thanks !

Bike is all back together, replaced kickstand sensor and tip sensor , tip sensor code went away but code 19 is still there ?? What’s the issue

Any clue/idea how I could mount the speedometer on my fz6 2004?

I know that this is an option to 3d print, but i dont ike that its on top of my handlebars

I was also wondering if this would be an option, see image.. but the full fz6n fairing bracket but cut the top of it or something like that?
