What oils to use
Hi! I presume you are in a warm climate? if so 10W40 Synthetic is an good all rounder & should do the trick. I presume you mean Brake Fluid? if so D.O.T. 4 is widely available now and far more superior to the old D.O.T.3 which was about when bike was manufactured.
Hope this Helps!

Tire pro
Excessive ware one one side of your tire could be a result of favoring right or left handed turns more then the other.
I find my self favoring lefts so I have worn out more tires on the left side as well.
But if the rear tire isn't warring the same then it could be some of the following.
1-Improper spacing of the front wheel - not sitting true in between the front tubes
2-Bad tire compound set loose on one side and wore uneven (happens a lot on china made tires)
3-front axle is bent
4-wheel B-rings are gone (will cause tire to track more on one side)
5-front tubes are bent.
6-Bent rim
When I turn on the
check the battery output prob needs a new battery but charge it 1st to see if that works. You can also put bike in gear and try jump starting it by pushing and holding clutch in then out to engage with engine it may also move the engine and the stsrter may work then.
I was riding my yamaha
are you sure its not just steam with the rain going on the hot engine? does the bike run alright?
NO CENTRE STAND ON BIKE
My friend, to which of the thousands of Yamaha Motorcycles are you referring to? (Model? Size? Year?) If it didnt come with one originally, there probably is no redtrofit. You can check with places like J. C. Whitney for after market and you can look at the same for a special motorcycle jack that will accomplish the same thing as a center stand, though not at all portable. There are of course other after market maufacturers. And lastly, you could have a shop fabricate a custom stand for your application. This would NOT be my choice because I wouldn't want to weld on the frame.
I suggest you stop in at your local Yamaha dealership and have a conversation with the head of the service department or the friendly guy or gal at the parts desk. That will be your VERY best source of information - plus you can tell them or they can view your model.
Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com
How can I lower my
G'day. The easiest & cheapest way to lower a motorcycle is to have the seat foam cut down/modified to lower the seat height,but this depends on the foam thickness as to wether it would lower it enough.Also rider comfort can be affected.A good upholsterer can cut down the foam as well as inset a thin layer of denser foam to off-set this loss of comfort.
Some bikes allow for different positions of the front forks.This is to say you can,on some bikes, lift the position of the forks in the tripple clamps-thus lowering the front of the bike.This applies to some late model road bikes with clip-on type handlebars.Usually indicated by the presence of three lines around the top of the upside-down fork cartridge.Check your manual or local dealer for more info.Other than that- it can be done internally in the forks/rear shock but special tools are needed as well as clear instructions/experience needed.Not the job for your average do it yourselfer & better tackled by a suspension specialist. EXPENSIVE.
Anyway-Hope this was somewhat helpfull.

My engine starts very well
Full throttle for nice take off? or more precisely a wheelie? Anyway the misfire and engine going dying problem is related to bad plug, but since you have changed that, what I would recommend is:
Carb tuning and most importantly setting valve timing precisely, best done by an experienced bike mechanic.
The bike sat for nine
Sounds like the battery may not be charged. Put a charger on the battery, bring to a full charge. Try starting. If it won't crank, locate a load tester and check the battery for weakness/dead cell. If the battery is not the problem, the starter/starter solenoid may have corroded/dirty contacts.
I have a 05 FZ6
undo all the drain screw in the carb bowls,until fresh fuel comes ot of them,then try to start the bike if it dosnt start your carbs are gummed up and need to be removed and cleaned
I NEED WIRING DIAGRAMS AND
www.haynes.com/products/productID/539 if you go to this link you will have your manual with the wiring diagram in it.
There is no click when i press the start button.
could be either, test starter and solenoid to see if they have power with ohmmeter or wire tester. check battery terminals to make sure they are snug and not grounding out somewhers they arent supposed to.

ironmike_926 wrote: no it should be anywhere from 600 to 900
Absolute rubbish!! The idle speed should be between 1250 and 1350 rpm. If the engine is cold, the EFi will raise the idle speed temporarily to about 1600 rpm until it warms up (usually within 5 to 10 minutes at a standstill).
Your idle speed of 1120 to 1200 rpm is absolutely fine. However, if it drops any lower, you can raise the rpm by playing with the idle speed adjuster screw located on the gear-side under the fuel tank (can be seen without having to remove the fuel tank). Turn clockwise to increase rpm. You will find details on how to do this by selecting your manual from this link:
http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/community/service/manuals.jsp
WARNING: if the idle rpm continues to drop, you may have a more serious issue with the valve clearances, air-filter, or spark plugs. Consult a technical book (such as Haynes), or take it to your local Yamaha dealer to get it serviced.
Carburetor problem
You must make sure the floats still float and they are set exactly at the factory called for setting.They sound a little low. Also make sure you have no dirt in the needle and seat area. Take a can of carb cleaner and blast it through all fuel passage ways and little holes.Then the same pass. and holes should be blown through with compressed air.
I hope this helps you.
