I have ridden bikes for nearly ten years, and tried all kinds of ways to clean and lube a chain. This summer I worked in a motorcycle shop and found an invaluable product for our bikes.
My reason for posting this is I hear so many people doing it the hard way, and I stumbled upon this...
And everyone has said to just get a different bike, that is B.S, and the main reason I am sticking with the FZ.
I want a mid to high 11 second FZ6 that I can still take on trips and be comfortable riding.
Everyone says get an R6.... I'd rather not. They have no power til the top of the...
I have found out that the FZ6 clutch uses wussy springs, that it what causes it to slip a little when it is "abused"
I find it funny that everyone says an FZ6 must be ridden soft. That is what gives these bikes a bad name. There are a few things that need to be upgraded to make it a fun...
The bike has had 8500 miles put on it since the rebuild, so it is not that.
I didnt buy the bike as a drag bike, I use it as a commuter, weekend warrior.
It has been to the track twice this year.
When I do tear it apart it is getting Kevlar discs, new plates, and stiffer springs...
I have another thread regarding a clutch issue I am having, chances are very likely I will be needing to replace the clutch.
the bike only has 10,500 miles and the clutch is already acting up. I know I am hard on the bike, and I do drag race the bike a little, so I want to install a better...
I have a 2007 FZ6 with 10,500 miles on it.
Starting about a month ago, I have had a few intermittent issues with my clutch I am hoping someone may have a diagnosis.
The first time it happened I was in a parking lot practicing launches for an upcoming drag race. After a good 20 hard...
I agree that powdercoating would be a better option, but it is in fact VERY expensive.
My bike has the forks painted, as well as the exhaust cover and radiator guards.
No Idea what is on the forks, but I used Duplicolor Wheel coating from Autozone on my covers, and it worked great- It is...
I have the slightly damaged fairing off my bike that I would like to get rid of. It could be fixed pretty easy, it has a small amount of rash on the right side, a small crack right where the headlight cowl goes, and a small crack where the bottom bolt goes on the right side. There is also a...
So last on the list of things that need fixed in the rebuild is the rider footpeg on the right side...
If nobody has one laying around, I am converting all four to R6 pegs.
Ok, over the last month I have looked over all the different options for modding my headlight. There are several great options, but to be honest I am a lazy SOB, and want something more simple.
SO, Here is what I am thinking of doing, can someone smarter than me tell me why it is a bad idea...
if you need to put it back to stock to make it cheaper I would LOVE the exhaust, I could even ship you my stock exhaust if need be-
Pm me if this works for you
