    Front wheel lock-up

    I just got an '07 last week and the very biggest difference between it and my previous motorcycle ('92 Nighthawk 750) is that the front brake is MUCH more powerful.

    The Mystery of the Phantom Brake Lever...

    Things like this drive me nuts... it's like an aviation documentary showing a 737 take off and a 747 land. Does nobody making TV or movies check continuity anymore? In the final episode of Sons of Anarchy Jax Teller is riding his dad's old Harley. First it has a front brake lever, then it...

    will 2009 R6 front caliper fit to 2007 Yamaha FZ6?

    Guys, quick question about the front caliper, can the 2009 R6 front caliper be direct replacement for 2007 Yamaha Fz6? I'm think to buy a spare front caliper to work on the seal to replace on my 2007 FZ6? They are look-alike but I'm not sure just before hitting hte button! thx, jh

    New front indicators for lower fairing

    Hi, I have fitted a lower fairing and now found it difficult to carry out maintenance on and around the engine area. I used the stock front indicators using the Yamaha fixing kit, but this means you have to remove the indicators to remove the lower fairing. The ideal would be to get after...
