trepetti, I've got R6 forks on my S1 as well as the dako81 fender adapter kit. Did NOT have to cut the fender at all. Took a bit of fiddling to understand which mount goes where (which direction) but that might have been due to the Coronas. Hit me up if you'd like some close-up pics ANLR21

Agree with Gary above. -1/+2 will result in a major change, but it depends on what you want to accomplish. For twisties, might be just the ticket, but keep the stock set or grab a +1 countershaft sprocket for your road trips to keep the RPMs down and improve the mileage if that's your goal. Not...

Trying to reach him via FleaBay, mine broke from vibration after a number of years. Hopefully he still has or is still making some.

We've all been there. We won't talk about how long it took me to figure out the weird noise in my car after replacing brakes was the bent coat hanger I had used to hold the caliper while changing the pads and had forgotten to remove. Duh :-)

You da MAN! Thanks!

The same to you and all, Nelly. Our best for the holidays and New Year!

The photo depicts the same setup as mine. I had no issues, no cracking and the fender doesn't seem to be under much tension. This may just be fork-to-fork variations, but the adapter on mine is "leaned" back more than this one, but due to the rear mount he may have had no choice. Zixag, you may...

Congratulations, Randy!! Some recognition duly deserved! :thumbup:

Welcome to the FZ6 and to the forum! There's a ton of great folks here, glad to help with so many aspects of the bike, riding and life in general. Look forward to some pics!

I used a 10mm hex wrench in an impact drill, holding the stanchion tubes firmly (but not tight) in a worktable-mounted vise. I had tried several things, this worked the best for me. The key as FinalImpact (got my R6 forks from him) notes above is to jam the assembly just enough to allow you to...

Welcome! On mine, I dropped a tooth on the front sprocket to a 15T to help improve acceleration a bit. Really does make a difference. Going up a couple of teeth on the rear will accomplish the same. I'm really not concerned with mileage so I don't check it closely, but still get at least...

Like Ohendo, I added 1" bar risers, carefully adjusted the bars to avoid contact with the tank. With the risers I was able to maintain a good "flat" overall angle to the bars, no issues

Will tell you from experience, these are a big improvement over the S1 2004-2006 stock calipers Someone needs to jump on these

Tylercriss502, I have both manuals (full manual and the addendum) if you need them. PM me with your email address, will zip them up and send ANLR21

Yes, my super-mechanic did it for me when I had him do the valves and injectors, pushed it only about 2-3 degrees since I don't have a fuel controller (and he's more precise than I). Smoothed out the middle in the 6K-8K transition, didn't change the jerkiness down low but I'm not bogging the...

Maybe I misunderstood the description, I wanted to assume that just the lower mount came loose and somehow jammed in. If either the shock came apart or the bottom of the shock came loose, would have been very likely that the rear would have fully collapsed. Full chopper hardtail mode on an FZ6...

There's a bolt securing a pivot bushing that comprises the lower shock mount. Must have lost that bolt, then the pivot bushing worked it's way out. 1st I've heard of that happening. Most of us have to fight to get that bushing out, involving WD-40, torches, busted knuckles and expanding our...

NICE, Eric. Now, the hard part....what to ride, what to ride......

Replied to your PM, let me know if you'd like the used pair I have Thx ANLR21

I can probably help you, as I replaced my stockers with R6 pegs long ago PM'd you, respond when you can AN:R21
