    brake bleed / flush

    So, I did a brake flush today. But I think I may have messed it up ? I attached the speed bleeding kit to the speed bleeder valve on my front right brake and then opened the valve, and pressed the front brake to pump fluid through the system. I pumped until the reservoir was low then I topped...

    Coolant Reservoir Replace?

    I changed the coolant recently, and it was working fine. My bike was getting hot after some easy rides, requiring the fan to turn on for about 3-4 minutes at the end of a ride (abnormal behavior even after the coolant change).

    Remote reservoir mounting for YA 543 Ohlins

    I'm finally getting around to installing the used YA 543 Ohlins that I picked up for my 2004 FZ6 a few months ago, and I was wondering if anyone had some good pictures of the reservoir mounted on their 2004-2006 FZ6? I'm changing the rear tire and since everything was out, I was able to swap...

    Front Brake Res Prob - Need Advice Pls

    Hi, I can't seem to see anything through the sight on the front brake res, as it's completely misted over. Tried using a torch (flashlight to you Yanks), and a laser pointer to light it up, but no joy. I'm a bit reluctant to open it, as I previously shredded the screws on another bike -...
