Hi guys. I read somewhere on here about an upgrade I could do to get both lights to come on while on dipped lights. Any one shed some light on the subject for me please?

are renthal 758s ok to use on the 600, I have a spare set well, going spare really.

Hello all - first post, and of course it's a problem...


My 54 FZ6, 56600mi, has been cutting out recently, at pretty much any speed. No coughing or stuttering, just running fine then nothing. I can sometimes drop down the gears while rolling and then 'bump' it going again, but more usually I coast to the side of the road and get nothing from the engine when I turn it over; after some time (eg when it's cooler?) it will start. Maybe.


I thought it might be fuel; I know there's some gunk in the tank - but the bike stops completely, dead in the water. No rough running or spluttering as a warning.


Got helped home by the AA last night, and they theorised it might be CKP sensor when the bike is running hot. Took a plug cap off and tested the spark - nothing until the bike has cooled. I put bike in diagnostic mode this morning, and did indeed get a '12' code - CKP. Sound plausible? Why would it get worse/occur when the bike is hot? Last night's cut-out happened within 3 miles of leaving home, not 'hot' by any standards, even in summer weather.


I had to have a gearbox rebuild at xmas, and when I got it back I noticed (after a while) the the small bolt in the crankcase cover had been left off - so I was running the bike 50 miles a day in winter muck with a hole into the crankcase. Had that sorted when I got new rubber a couple of months ago, but - could that have caused a CKP problem?


At no point have I had any warning lights or codes on my dash.


Any suggestions gratefully received...

Hi
just wanted to share my experience  - these bulbs lasted about 6 weeks (about 40 hours) each rather than the 450 hours they claimed ! Maybe a voltage or overheating problem ?

can someone point me in the direction to the person or post that was doing frame infills, the round metal ones at swingarm pivots, thanks

[size=1em]Does anyone still have them perhaps ?[/size]

I have been reading the topic on smooth clutch changes and am considering drilling the holes to get more oil to the middle of my stack. I have a new set of friction plates. Would it make sense to change steel plates and springs while I am at it? The bike has done 98,000 miles. It does not slip but it does seem to drag a bit when hot.
