Just checked the compatibility thread and the exhaust seem to be compatible between the version. Will this also apply to aftermarket exhausts?
I have an S2 and want some more noise and if the 04-06 versions will fit it will give me more options regarding second hand

Going to get myself booked for a newcomers track day early next year and want some advice on basic set up for the FZ6. pls chaps.
Basically, its a newcomers, i.e. never been on track before, thing so i dont need slicks or anything, but some simple tips would be handy.
Heavier weight fork...
For those of you who have had one/ridden one...Whats yours thoughts? Its a big step up in power from the FZ6 but the temptation is unbearable.
Im 25 now and insurance has finally reached an acceptable level for me to get something bonkers quick, just because i can. A hayabusa is really more...
Im well and truley fed up with how quiet the stock exhaust is on the Fazer and i want more grunt. But im not willingt o pay £350 for 2 cans, rubbish value for money as far as im concerned.
So basically are there any cheaper alternatives to scorpions etc? If not i will just have to keep an...
Anyone done this? I want more of a roar from the bike, but cant really justify spending hundreds on new rear cans.
It make any difference if anyone has done it? Will be a much cheaper option if it works
In the UK our service intervals (atleast stated in my owners manual) is 6k miles minor service and 12k miles major service, 18k minor etc with Valve adjustment at 24k miles.
What is it in the USA and OZ etc? I wonder what yamahas reasons are if they different, as i keep seeing people on...
For those of you who have inspected your steering head bearings at the 12k mile service, did they need replaced?
Mine is due its service soon and was going to replace them with roller bearings if they are needed, but i dont believe in replacing working items, regardless of how little they...
Is it possible to fit off road tyres such as Continental TKC80's onto the FZ6?
The front wheel will maybe take a 120/90/17, maybe it wont, but what about the rear?
I havent seen any 180 width off road tyres in my searching, so i suppose the next question is, is it possible to fit narrower...
All you guys that use your FZ6 on track, how do they compare to 600cc Sportsbikes? Can you generally keep up with them or do you lag behind. I realise an R6/zx6r/gsxr etc will be quicker in the straight line but how much quicker are they in the corners? Negligible? Noticeable?
Im...
Ive not actually checked the headlight alignment yet but im assuming in the the UK it points slightly to the left to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
Do they do the same thing in europe? i.e. should i adjust it to point to the right for when i go on hol or should i set it up for straight ahead...
Off around europe in 4 weeks...wooop....but i think me and the better half's arses are gonna be a tad rare after 3000 miles.
Funds are almost non-existant so a corbin etc is out the window. Anyone have a bodge solution, short of bungeeing my pillow to the seat lol
Anyone in the UK purchased the tapered roller bearings for the steering head?
Mine seem fine at the moment but will most likely replace them at 12k miles when I inspect them.
Is there a "Kit" with seals etc?
Cheers, Dave
Has anyon had any problem with scraping panniers when banked over into a corner? Ive just fitted givi E45 boes on the bike and they are...em...chunky i think is the word lol:
Im going to the alps in europe so twisty action is deff going to be happening
Now that this tyre has been out for a while im sure a good few of you will have racked up some miles on them. Basically, i like the bt020 and suits my style well, 2 up alot of the time with some twisty action.
I changed the rear at 4k and will need new front and rear when i hit around 7 to...
Ive racked up over 6000 miles on the fazer now, mosty rides of upto 100 miles at the weekend etc.
Ive just got back from a 700 miles holiday, and yesterday, after about 100 to 120 miles my lower back was starting to get a tad sore. Its nothing major, and fuel stop usually is enough to cure...
Is there such a thing? Spending a couple weeks going around europe this year and would like some sort of comm between the gf and myself. Ideally id like the autocom 200 set but this trip is going to be on a tight budget so really need something cheaper if it exists?
Doesnt matter if it runs...
In my manual it says under periodic maintenance and repair:
Hydraulic Brake Service:
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
Anyone actually changed the caliper and cylinder internals on their bike??
Ive loosened off the bolt holding teh bars down and raised it slightlybut it seems there simply isnt enough spare flex in the brake hose to fit 25mm risers.
Did anyone else have to fit new brake hoses? or is there a technique to get it to reach?
Clothing for europe trip in July
Have my first europe trip planned for July this year with the gf 2up on my fazer. Im having dramas about what gear is best to wear. We will most likely be taking textile jackets as they are waterproof and ventilated for the heat in south of france, not as...
