So I did the r6 fork swap without the shims all I did was made the 19mm hex side of the r6 axel flush with the fork and tighten the 2 pinch bolts under itthen used a ratchet and started to tighten the other side making the forks bind towards each other to where the wheel can spin freely without...
Hi!
I have a problem with my swingarm, and want to change to the earlier model (silver with adjusters at the rear).
My question is, will it fit?
I've checked as much as i can, and it does look like a straight swap.
Any help would be great.
Hi all,
I bought the R6 forks and brakes from Tom here on the forum. They came with R6 calipers, axle and shims. The forks were just rebuilt with new seals and had 1kg springs installed, which are perfect for my fat self (220lbs). I then spent over a month drooling over the parts because...
I am gathering the parts for my upcoming R6 fork swap on my 05, and I'd like to see how to mount the dako81 fender adapters. Can someone who has done this swap post some pictures of the S1 fender on the R6 forks?
Thanks
Cannot find this online or on the forum, I want to change my ugly chrome mirrors and I would like to fit the black FZ1N mirrors on my naked FZ6.
Anyone familiar with this, is it a straight swap or would I need to mod anything to make them fit?
Thanks in advance.
Hey all. I searched the forum looking for a post about this but couldn't find anything.
In the interest of full disclosure I got the idea from this site - https://stoltecmoto.com/fz-09-braking-and-control-updates/
Parts list:
- R6 Master cylinder and reservoir
- R6 brake lever (FZ6 lever...
Buying a 2008 FZ6 to replace my dearly departed 2004. I know my R6 forks will transfer over, a few other questions:
Is there any difference between the blue spot calipers I have now (from the R6) and the silver spot stockers on the S2? They seem identical to me.
Will my shock swap over without...
Hey guys im new to the forum. I was wondering if any one has swap the rear suspension on the fz6 ? Im a big guy around 300lbs and when I ride with the wife the bike jumps too much on the rear and doesnt really absorb shocks.
Have anyone used the bike with over bikes weight limit?
Only my second post here but I've been reading A LOT on the naked conversion.
I'm going for an OEM conversion and have purchased pretty much all the parts to do this (down to the radiator hose). The only thing that's putting me off is soldering the wires etc. I'm ok at soldering, I'm just...
So I finally got around to installing the FZ1 bar I've had sitting around for ages (thanks Raja) as well as some heated grips for the colder months. Holy crap I should have swapped the bars way before. It is so much more comfortable, and the steering feels much more direct. Less fatigue in my...
I pulled the trigger and bought the R6 forks with everything needed besides the shims necessary for the swap. Anyone still selling these or have an extra kit laying around?
I've noticed swapping S2 dash into S1 mentioned a couple of times on here. Can anyone show me where there is more information about wiring and that sort of thing. I've searched and hunted through the "how to" section without much success. I suspect there is a lot about it on here, as it sounds...
I'm in the progress of swapping a S2 speedo to my S1 bike.
I've found a Fz1 speedo for the swap, eveything looks plug and play except the ABS light is always on.
How can i completely cancel that light, if anyone knows, would be useful.
I'm using a S2 non ABS headlight wiring harness. It...
In short: My FZ6 has leaky fork seals. Have a friend who recently bought a 2009 Yamaha R6S, who plans to replace his front with R1 forks. SO his R6S forks may be available, however one of them is leaking too.
Would the R6S forks be an upgrade over stock 2004 FZ6 forks? They're both...
So I stupidly thought this would be a straightforward swap. Silly me.
I just discovered that the recommended springs from RT are 0.25" shorter than the OEM spring, so I need some kind of collar/bushing/spacer/whatever to make up a half inch of space. Has anyone done this recently that has a...
Hi all, newbie to these forums. Had my 2004 FZ6 for a couple months. I love the bike, but I weigh about 240 lbs and the nosedive on braking actually feels dangerous. Doing something to the forks is super high priority, because surprise stoppies suck.
1) For those who have done the R6 fork...
