I first did -1 in the front, then -1/+2, both on the stock chain and it was fine. -1 in the front isn't as dramatic a change as -1/+2 is. If you are going to race the bike and don't mind the 800rpm raise it is definitely the best mod you can do to gain a bit of grunt.

I have done emulators, springs and rear shock, it 's like riding a different bike! http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/53102-final-motorcycle-update.html

I did -1+2 on the original chain and didn't have to change it. Don't forget it will screw up your tach, you will need a speedo healer to correct it. Mileage is 37 to 42 mpg.

A thing worth saying, the FZ6 top speed isn't limited by gearing but by power. Like yours, my bike did 137mph exactly with the stock gearing, i then switched the front sprocket to a 15T guess what? Top speed was still 137mph, but the bike felt snappier. I then added a +2 sprocket in the rear...

Considering they were sold new for $100 the price seems a bit high! http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/2987-fz6-rearset-set-back-plates-sale-41.html

Honestly i don't know, also since i bought parts in the UK it would probably cost less for you to do it as parts are a lot cheaper in the US. Just check the price for the emulators and springs on the racetech website, and add to that the price of your choice of shock. The rest is only oil and time.

The metal tab is something to do with the FZ1, it is useless on the FZ6, some people grind it down, i left it there, it doesn't interfere with anything and is invisible as it under the bar. The hole on the right side on your first picture is the one that is not used on the FZ6, you could already...

The progrips are just different model numbers for different design, the 724 isn't 7 better than the 717, it's just a different design. They are both dual densities, and would most likely perform exactly the same. The biggest plus about them is that they are a lot stickier, allowing you to get...

It should be the same, depending on the country the FZ1 can be called FZ1 Fazer, FZS1000, Fz1-s, all the same, different name. They sometimes update part numbers for no real reason other than adapting to the new model name. There are a couple things you need to know about the installation...

Personally i find it very disappointing, didn't come close to Saving private Ryan in my opinion. I found the fight scenes good, but that was it. The film fails to create any emotional attachment to the characters and you don't really care if they live or die. Most of the non fighting scenes are...

I think number one thing should be to check the fuses under the right side pod (side cover) I once accidentally shorted a lead to the frame, it sparked, and everything died, it was just a dead fuse, and everything worked fine after changing it.

I think they are the same part, part numbers get updated once in a while...

I got mine from there: https://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk Part number 2D1261110100 I also got one from: Boats.net - New and Used Boats for Sale, Outboard Boat Motors, and Discount Outboard Boat Parts In the US and it pretty much came up to the same price.

They are a french brand, but are available in most of the world. They are pretty expensive but i think are worth it. The fit was equal to my stock yamaha ones, they don't seem to be hurting the discs at all. They have a very progressive bite, but a lot more bite than the stock pads. Like i...
