    help finding bracket for 2 to 4 piston caliper upgrade!!!

    Hi, My brother's adapters are made, and he has new and improved brakes(such a difference between radial brakes and standard brakes), in a week and a half my adapters should be ready. Fingers crossed. All in all it will cost me around 70 $, the adapers. The concept and design was made by my...

    Which FZ6 for a newb (model year)?

    Hi, If you're new to motorcycling... go for the FZ6. I started on a 400cc bike, I rode it for a year, and then went to the 600 cc class, and the difference was huge. Be sure that the FZ6 can kill you also if you don't have experience. The Fizzer can have an SS behaviour, don't forget it's an R6...

    help finding bracket for 2 to 4 piston caliper upgrade!!!

    Hi, We saw the system, and me and my brother got interested in it. Because the adapters cost 200 euros without shiping(look for the us/euro ratio), and it looks a little expensive for us, we decided to try to do it ourselves. We ordered of ebay pairs of used, for me R1 04-06 radial calipers...

    Potential Riders MUST READ!!!!!

    Hi, I agree totally with your article. I started on a '96 Suzuki RF, and I've "shaken asphalt's hand", but on that bike I learned to BRAKE, to really know how to use the brakes. It's correct, Abs is good, but you might let yourself to the hand of technology and that's not good at all. Here in...

    RoboBrackets-Madstad Windshield Report

    Hi, It might be good for windnoise but it just doesn't look right. It's a sport bike not a touring/cruiser one. Just my opinion. Asfalt uscat

    Fuel injectors

    Hi, If you want an R6 you should buy an R6, although the Fizzer has good handling it's not an R6, so if you change the engine, change the chassis, change the forks, the brakes, ECU... I believe you would have ended up cheaper buying the R6 in the first place, which would normally be the...

    Quick Tire Poll

    Hi, When I bought the bike, both of the tires wear was to the limit, so I changed them to Dunlop Qualifier's. I find them good tires, rode in the rain and they were sticky, they gave me confidence. I have to say that in Romania the asphalt is not as good and grippy as I saw in Germany or...

    Brake Issues

    Hi, Quick question, did you change the brake fluid? The brake pads, if they are the original ones, they should squeak a little when you lightly press the break lever, when you press harder they shouldn't do the noise. Usually the brakes are not that potent when you change the pads, did...

    New member welcome thread..

    Hi all, My name is Bogdan, I'm from the great country of Romania, I own a 2007 FZ6, and I really like it. My first bike was a SUzuki RF 400, sold it and bought a Fazer. I was torn between a SV650 and the Fazer but in the end, the Fazer chose me, and I'm happy "he" did that.. Asfalt...

    FZ8 or FZ1

    Hi, I like the FZ8, it has USD forks and brakes on 310 mm rotor, that probably means better brakes. I think that Yamaha couldn't get enough low and mid-range torque out of the 600 engine and said "it's better to create an 800 cc engine", which, like the Gixxer 750 is the best compromise between...

    The R6 Fork

    Hi I was asking bd43, but thanks for your answer anyway. Quick question though, did you find a massive improvment with the 4 piston calipers against the 2 piston ones? Best luck

    The R6 Fork

    Hi, I posted this comment on the other thread, i'm posting it here also because I see the discussion here is still fresh. So... Do you still have the FZ6 Forks and the 4 piston calipers? Do you sell them? If you do, how much would you want for them? I want to change the 2 piston calipers I...

    R6 Fork Install, Another One

    Hi, Do you still have the FZ6 Forks and the 4 piston calipers? Do you sell them? How much would you want for them? I want to change the 2 piston calipers I have now on my FZ6 with 4 piston as I heard they break better, but for that to happen apparently I need to change the front forks too...
