How to: Chain Removal and Replacement Prepared for: Everyone Prepared by: Ben Mitchell 23 January 2014 Summary Objective The chain on my Yamaha FZ6 has lasted 24,000 miles, I'm pretty impressed with that. With summer quickly approaching and the bike sat there in the garage, I bought...

Hi guys :) I haven't posted in a little while and it's now getting to the point of thinking what mods to choose and avoid :) Chain Right, I have covered nearly 18,000 miles on my FZ6 and I think it's time for a chainge ;) Get it? Sorry. This leads me onto a couple of questions.. Is it...

They look smart! Oh I wanna do the same to mine, now I've finally got the cash to do so Is yours a 2008 FZ6? Also, what did you have to do to get the forks on and in solidly? Dont you have to buy some spacers for the top yoke? MitchellsFZ6

Hey guys and girlies :) I have an issue with my downpipes.. As everyone knows in England the weathers been crap for the past 4 maybe 5 weeks now.. I was doing some maintenance on the Fizzer and one of the jobs was to re polish/ re chrome the downpipes.. I thought the job would be much...

Hey :) I understand why someone would want to put more power in a smaller, more lightweight frame.. but why? Lol Surely the best thing to do would be to buy an FZ1 and then up the power of the already planted R1 engine? Maybe I'm just over looking the fact that you want the FZ6 looks or you...

I wash my chain once every 2 weeks? Usually I cover about 100 Miles a week.. So once every 200 Miles I should imagine :) 1) Find a nice rag.. Usually some ageing boxers with a hole in or two ;) 2) Put a piece of card between the wheel and the swing arm (This stops the oil, **** and grit...

Its obvious that the Red and White S2's are obviously the quickest ;)

Hey man :welcome: You really need to download a couple of maps and see what suits you man :) Download the PowerCommanderIII Software onto your laptop and have a play, go for a ride and see which maps suit you best. I originally started on the Aftermarket Airbox and Mivv Exhaust map.. It...

I was riding for nearly 45 miles on my reserve, twos up! Thank you for a massive reserve tank Yamaha :L :BLAA:

Haha Yeah I know, I thought it was quality myself ;) Basically we couldnt be bothered with finding the bracket for it, so we found some wire and let it hang there. Hope you dont mock my How To guide too much :spank: MitchellsFZ6

Good evening Forum Members :') Just thought I would add a thread on how to shorten an aftermarket or stock exhaust. Although it isnt even a Yamaha or an FZ6, the principle is exactly the same :). Basically, before you ask what happened to the can, as with all Suzukis; they rust at the first...

No one at all? These are sad times, haha.

Hi guys, I've got the 2008 FZ6 S2.. Would upgrading mine to SS Lines make much difference? I've got the stock pads, calipers and header. I like the feel of my brakes but I think the front end is just a bit spungy at times? Anyone else feel exactly the same way? MitchellsFZ6

Welcome :welcome: I bought my FZ6 last year in 2011, definitely the best Inline 4 I've ever ridden :). I know what you all mean about the "lack of power" below 8,000RPM.. But the engines been detuned to suit the cruising aspect to get good MPG but when you get it above the magic 8,000RPM it...

Just thought I would add too this post :) I just found an English website which sells the Quick Shifter unit which plugs into the 4In Line connector which is on the top of the PowercommanderIII USB unit itself. I am also under the impression that you will need to have a switch in line with...
