How to FZ6 Chain + Sprocket Replacement

In this video I will be showing you how to remove your old chain and sprockets and install new parts using an EK chain on this 2007 Yamaha FZ6. Although the factory chain is a DID chain I chose to use an EK mostly because that was available to me and the master link style.
Torque specs:
Front sprocket nut: 65 ft-lbs
Rear sprocket to drive hub: 72 ft-lbs
Rear axel nut (32mm): 87 ft-lbs
Chain slack spec: 1.77-2.17" or 45-55mm while on centre stand
The FZ6 uses 118 links in the chain
Front sprocket is 16 teeth
Rear sprocket is 46 teeth

Found a 2006 fz6 for $1200 that I was able to knock down to $800 that looks like it needs a new chain along with some other tlc , this video definitely helps thanks man 🤝🏽

Very good quality videos, easy to understand. Brilliant!

I highly recommend RK chain tool - it had no issues with breaking out the pins from the chains without grinding off the head. It also has a "limiter" of the pin flare which makes sure that you are not going to "overflare" them, even if you do not measure with the calipers.

Thank you! Best wishes and greetings from Greece!

Thank you so, so, so much for these videos, they are life (and bank acc.) saving for me! after I swore never to bring my FZ6 back for maintenance to the main local garage that ripped me off in the beginning. Been learning to do it all myself. If you ever consider making a patreon or something for the content I would gladly pay to subscribe. cheers from Ireland - Ro

This video will help me a lot. HAve to work on the chain for sure. Itś ratteling, so it will need replacement.

[@alejandrodg82]

Cal, love your videos man, its the FZ6 bible of maintenance! Keep em coming

Great video. The only thing I would do different, is I wouldn't torque the front sprocket against the transmission like that. I'd have snugged it up, gotten the rear tire + sprocket installed, then the chain, and once the chain is on and at the proper slack, lower the rear tire on the ground and THEN torque the front sprocket to spec so the resistance is applied to the chain and tire instead of the transmission. But I also overthink things so who knows.

Good job

[@cupcayuk]

Cheers man, my front sprocket nut was threadlocked so we had to almost liquefy it before it started to come loose lol
