This is the best direct to the point how to video that I have ever seen. There was no unnecessary babble or anything else except for the job at hand. This is what I like, a straight to the point video on how to perform a procedure. The last video I watched on how to do something the guy had to video himself stopping to drink a beer. Thanks. A+

You can also do one at a time to prevent mixing them if yours arent numbered

Good lighting and camera work getting the plugs out.

I just helped my buddy do his plugs on his inline-4 Ninja 1000 SX. Those outside plugs we needed a swivel socket. Always a handy tool to have in the toolbox.

Thank you for doing this. I have a fz6r as well.. only 5300 miles but if I get close to that 8k miles this year I will be following your guide!

Hey, on my Fz6, here in England, it's a little more difficult. Some folk drain and remove the radiator and go in that way. Depending if I'm doing something else too, I take the long route. Last time I had to remove the front electrical harness to check for poor earth and continuity as the cluster had an intermittent on off fault. I remove the tank and airbox, with 4 hose clamps on the trumpets. Before anything else, I tape over the four throttle inlets to prevent debris dropping in. Then remove the battery and box complete with starter relay and twin coils, then a heat shield to get to and remove the plug leads. At this point, I use an airline to blow out the any debris surrounding the plugs. Then you're best using the supplied plug wrench from the toolkit - which is hinged in the middle - as access is very limited on # one and four cylinders. I haven't a small enough torque wrench, so it's hand tight and another 1/16th turn. Then put it all back together, then it's time for bed!

@Half-Click Up: Thanks for sharing this video with us, your viewers which I found tremendously helpful upon accomplishing the task of changing the spark plugs of my 2008 FZ6. I found it to be an easy task by removing the spark plugs from above, like you showed us instead of removing the radiator. Also, if you have posted any more videos on any FZ6 repairs and/or maintenance, please let me know cause there are more things I would like to work on. Thanks again!

You can also run a ratchet strap or similar to hook the front of the tank, wrap over the tank, and hook the other end on the tail somewhere to keep the tank up. Much better access to the front than the block of wood and faster than removal.

Very good video, thanks for sharing

Mann, preciate cha on that, very helpful as always..I didn't realize i had that many miles on my bike..I bought it like a couple of months ago and it had like 5 k something miles on it. Now I'm at 10 k something. That let's me know, SUMBODY been doing a lot of riding 😁

Great video! Thanks. I'm getting ready to change my plugs. Hopefully your video will keep me from messing it up : )

Gracias amigo, lo haces muy bien, gracias. Le haré el servicio a mi fz6r

Awesome!

Another great video @Half-Click Up! Still waiting on my 4 degree trigger, didn't really ride last year due to back issues and eventually surgery in September. Today got the bike out and running, changed the plugs to iridiums, cleaned and lubed the chain, put new frame sliders on (Had low speed/low side last year) and changed the oil. Trigger will be here at the beginning of the week so that'll be quick and easy. Can't wait to see/feel the difference with the trigger mod. Already have full exhaust, pc5, fz6 cams, +1 -2 gearing as well as ooen airbox with velocity stack modification. Need to get the bike on a dyno for for a proper tune. I have a map from Marthy for the FZ6 cams. Curious how much power im getting now.

Good job and clear for my, i must pay €220 for that job ,nice of season job thanks gr from Holland .

good vid, now I'll know what to do for my 30k service on my fizzer

I just realized I didn’t take the caps off when I did mine but it still runs perfect and the boots snapped in good

Great video. You forgot to mention to loosen the small bolts (4 of them) on the clamps that hold the air box to the throttle bodies. Also, I would just loosen them with 6 or 7 turns and not pull the screw out completely as there is a small spacer between the ends of the clamps. You may never see that spacer again if it falls down into the engine somewhere. I was lucky, that didn't happen when I pulled the screw out completely. Just changed my plugs today and it looks like the bike may be running a little rich. I have a fuel commander on it just like yours. Any ideas on what I can change to make it run just a bit leaner?

Qhere can I get a hard cowl like that ? I've looked all over and no luck

What does it mean when I pull off one of the plug caps and its covered in corrosion? Just number 4

i know this video is old so idk if you’ll see this hopefully u do :(( but i let my fz6r sit for a year cause i got into a really bad accident and couldn’t ride , im planning on selling it now but the battery keeps on dying and when i charge it it’ll turn on fine, but the next day it’ll struggle to turn on plz help me what do i do

My dust cover does not just pull off like that
