This thread deserves some resolution. There is a relatively small y shaped piece with a bump inside the throttle side switch. I apparently broke this bump off. Luckily I work with an awesome guy who restores vintage bikes as a hobby. He machined me a new bump to fit inside the piece of plastic...

I noticed the price of the part. I have heard that using some duck tape and smoothing out the bump might prevent slippage. definitely worth a shot.

So I've checked it out. I believe there to be two screws and the little bump/knub on the plastic piece is broken off. That's why the entire piece is loose on the handlebar. I will have to order up a new part. Thanks for all the assistance, I will follow up once I have the part replaced. :thumbup:

So I replaced the grips on my FZ6, and in the process I can't seem to get the plastic piece holding the throttle tube (and the killswitch and start button) secured to the bar snugly. I know there is a bump and hole, and I think I have them lined up... Anyone else have a similar experience? The...

I used to live in Elmsford, NY....but now I'm back down in South Jersey...I imagine there are some nice rides up through Westchester though...

I just finished putting on the two bros exhaust on my 08 fz6. It looks sweet , but man is this thing loud. I've ridden around town and everyone seems to be staring...even had some guy at a stoplight ask me what i did to my R6...I made sure to point out that this was the FZ6...but overall I'm...
