Ok. Had a decent slide on my FZ6 last night. Hit a rock on a turn and well, you know the rest. Nasty rash on my right knee where the bike dumped on me.
Front : forks are bent and leaked out fork oil; rims good shape. It basically fell over. Head light, turn signals, ECU all good working order...
Hello, I was in an accident involving the front end of my bike. I have a 2007 yahama fz6. I basically just damaged the forks, handle bars, speedo and clutch lever and I was looking for used parts and found 2008 fz6 forks and parts. I am wondering if these parts will fit on my bike, I have tried...
I'm in the middle of changing my fork oil and seals on my 2006 and want to paint the forks black. I'm going to try plasti-dip since I am not 100% sure I will like them black.
Has anyone used plasti-dip on forks?
I picked up some Race Tech springs and Maxima 10w fork oil as an upgrade. I'm 245lb with gear and going to start tracking the bike so I felt it was a much needed upgrade.
I've got a mityvac pump and planning to raise the front end and keep the forks on the bike for the oil & spring change...
Hey there,
a while back I sold my FZ so I am cleaning out some stuff I have laying around. I have the stock forks + the stock front wheel bolt and 3 r6 forks in various states. I think you could get 2 decent shape r6 forks from the 3 present but I have not messed with this stuff in a few...
A buddy of mine if forwarding a pair of CBR f4i forks to me. He was going to use them on a cafe project, but that hit the wayside and finally got sold off. The tubes have a slight bend in them and one had a crack or something like that. so they're not really repairable. However, i believe they...
My project for the winter is going to be to improve the suspension on the bike. Of the two choices in the title, which is the best. It seems the price for each is pretty close, and the R6 forks are adjustable, right? And it seems the R6 forks don't take a whole lot to make fit.
Sold! (01-28-2014)
For sale is this excellent condition 2009 R6S Fork conversion kit. There are a number of threads discussing the benefits of the installation of fully adjustable forks; I have listed one of the most comprehensive at the base of this thread for reference. The kit includes...

Hey guys,
So I just bought a lovely 2005 FZ6 for myself, I am a female rider, I'm 5'3" and about 110lbs. I've rode motorcycles for about 7 years now, and ride anything from my Yamaha XT 225, to my dad's Harley V-rod. The FZ6 is an upgrade from my little 2007 250cc ninja that I am selling...
As the title says, how did the bike ride before and after the mod, what did you do exactly, what did it really fix for you?
Tell us your story about how the bike feels in the corners, braking, riding, etc . . .
Thanks! :thumbup:
Anyone lower the front end of their FZ6? I was talking to the dude at the motorcycle shop and he said it would be fine, but it would cause the bike to handle more "aggressively." Basically, the longer the forks, the longer the steer, hence, the shorter the forks, the more aggressive the steer...
I had a little wreck and I'm looking to get front forks with the axle, a new front fairing, a new windscreen, and a new headlight assembly. If anyone's got anything, even aftermarket, please let me know! Thanks everyone for helpin a partner out!
So last night I decided to Paint my forks and I noticed that I really needed to go ahead and paint the rear pegs and the silver radiator guard. Once all that was finished I noticed that I should paint the bolts that hold the farings together, so thats what I did. I really like the look, what do...
