Yamaha FAZER

[triumsg]

Anyone here done their own DIY engine oil change for Fazer 6 S2?

Dont think its that difficult ...

 

Prefer to do it on my own ... spent 2 hours waitin at a workshop few days ago ... after waiting so long, the guy spilt some oil and bike was smoking afterwards ...

 

Hope can see it being done once ...

[pichudot]

Hahaha.... I guess now cats also do research for a couple of times, to see which bike is suitable or safe to be played out. Thank God....my MSCP does not have all the cheeky cats arnd.....ONLY saw one Garfield look a like cat wondering at the A2 area and nearly got horned by my Blackie.....hahahaxxx

 

guess so... guess their little winny brain still up to good use...

the cat ard my area will automatically run away upon seeing me coming back into my mscp or when i walking over to mscp...

cus i always give them a kind fierce stare... lol

wow that's long jus to change EO...

 

if u diy, u gonna have the proper tools as well as proper disposal...

anyway, bike was smoking mostly becus they spill some EO over ur engine area and when u run off later, it will tries to evaporates when it gets hot...

 

if u kinda those like to diy kinda person, else i would recommend u go for another shop to do these...

[triumsg]

ya bro and frustrating when u see the rain about to pour ...

 

i dont mind investing a bit on the tools ... u know who does DIY oil change?

[aRcHeR]

EO change is easy.. just 1 nut..

 

the slightly harder job is oil filter..

[pichudot]

ya bro and frustrating when u see the rain about to pour ...

there are quite a few bros here who know how to do these, so do i...

but i'll only do it when there's a need or when my buddy is free to diy together...

else i'll go shop to do it too... save my time and keep my hands clean...

 

if u really interested, u can get 3 bottles of EO + measuring bottle + wench that can open the EO plug + disposal container...

these will be required for changing EO only... be also sure to prepare some wet and dry napkins for clean up process...

 

to change oil filter, depending wad type if your oil filter, u need the oil filter wench...

 

to change spark plug, u need the spark plug wench...

fastest method is to unlock your radiator and tilt it to one side to change it...

 

to the above, be sure to apply the correct tightening torque...

[pichudot]

btw, 2.8L for EO replacement if u did replace oil filter...

2.5L for EO only replacement...

 

good luck to ya...

[Kurei]

My friend riding an 03 FZS600 experience violent head shake when he goes hands free. Today just replaced the steering cone bearings but condition didn't improve at all.

 

Front wheel bearing feels ok. Any idea what it might be?

bro, recently does he change his tyre?? or maybe the balancing for the front tyre dropped off. they normally will stick a piece or 2 to the rim.

How old is the tire?

-Uneven wear ?

-Off balance wheel?

-Insufficient air pressure?

-Faulty fork?

Tire considered new. He got the bike 2nd hand with only 25,000km on the odo. Hasn't done any major replacement since he got the bike 6 months ago.

 

The problem came with the bike when he got it. The head shake happens immediately when you let your hands off the bar, even at slow speed very slow speed.

[ahweng86]

Erm,why do u want ride with both hands off ur handle bar?? Slow spd u won't be able to balance ur handle bar one.. Got box for the bike? Probably the top box if he have one.

3/4 of 2.5L is 1.875L lei...

 

no spec for EO plug... pls check it out urself can?

diff brands of oil filter use different type of tools...

[triumsg]

Tks bro - im referring to 3/4 of the dipstick ...

 

Anyway, did some checks - the correct oil filter shd be 5GH-13440-20-00 ...

 

Will get the oil filter removal cup after i get the oil filter to ensure a good fit. Yam part for oil filter wrench is YU-38411 (64.2mm) ...

 

Tks bro ...

May be the tires...I used to have that prob on my S4. Once I changed the tires then prob gone liaoz.

By right, when you let go of the handle (not for fun, just for testing), the bike should stay true to the line and go straight.

If it slants to 1 side or wobbles badly, then something is of course not right.

As some have mentioned, it could be tyre pressure, balancing, top box, panniers...etc.

 

Well, of course if the bike has been in a accident before and the frame/ fork is not true, it might be the cause too.

 

But as always, go for what is the simplest cause first and move down the probable list.

Most of the time, its a tiny, weeny issue that is causing the problem.

Congrats! I used to ride an 06. Loved it to bits..(literally )

 

change bars or risers or both. You may need to change to custom brake lines. Those pre cut lines will give very little tolerance.

 

Tires depend on what u want. Some like more grippy some like more lasting. Some go for touring and some go for track.

 

Personally I like Pirelli and Metzler but a lot here use Michelin.
