I think you're right, getting a part and part # breakdown is the best plan. Hopefully someone will be forthcoming with that info though. I know that these guys have restricted one before though, because I am pretty sure they built my bike to a restricted spec. Not the bike shop, they just...

Ah sound Mylo, where abouts are you in Dublin? I'm still puzzling over it because of these scare tactics about all the bits and pieces that need to be replaced. Did you find out that those butterfly valves in your throttle bodies are restricted / don't open fully?

I think the S1's released before 2007 were 98bhp, and S1's after that were 78bhp. See here (concise model history) " 2004 Completely new model with new 98HP engine. [...] 2007 - Upgraded model named “S2” features: ... [yadayada] ...The non-S2 model is a value-for-money option without...

Jaysus, you look awfully like a Canadian dude I went to school with. Did you ever live in Ireland?

Good to see you got yours sorted Mylo! I'll probably end up going the same route. However, 3 different places have told me that there is more than just the throttle stop. 2 of those 3 told me that it is not financially practical to de-restrict the bike, and that I should sell it or trade it...

Interesting thread alright. I found this older thread just now, about a fuel cut eliminator for the FZ1 developed by Ivan's in New York. Not much use to me 3000 miles away but, in the interest of science...

Are you past the two years restriction? A friend of mine works in insurance claims and he scared me off taking the restrictor off early. If you have to pay third party damages privately, you'd most likely be selling your bike a few times over to pay for it. Then there's the legal charges...

mylo, hi I only saw this now... Congrats. I have to wait a while longer til my restriction is up. Let me know how much of a difference there is!! :D enjoy. In Danfay the guys told me not to bother de-restricting it, that it is complicated and unnatural. Complicated replacement parts, etc...

There's plenty of clearance at the lever. About a fingers width... I don't abuse it the clutch. I use it to change gears. The worst I've done is missed a gear change now and then, and sometimes grabbed the lever back in again before it fully engages the gear at high revs. This is not a...

can only see it clearly with the flash - in photos. can't see much at all otherwise. this next picture is the top, the cover of the airbox. The part photographed is the bit directly above those three valves EDIT: just having a read of some google results, I think this amount of...

****balls, that has me freaked out now. I'm gonna go out and open the airbox again, and confirm that there is an oily residue in there... There's been no issues with ignition or starting or anything. There's no lag in power or anything when its running (just the obvious reduction thereof)...

No! :eek::eek: **** I should probably check the plugs! Thanks for noticing that! If I take the plugs out will I have to check clearances on them, with a tool I don't have? (Haynes arrived today, was having a look through). RE that other picture, thats my picture dude. thats the throttle...

thoooooose bastards.. I posted some pretty good pictures of it myself actually, when I first got the bike. Its so glaringly obvious even I can recognise it to take a picture :D http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/34736-possible-lower-overall-power-temporarily.html So I...

Are these any use? lol, i really have no idea what I'm taking pictures of ! Any comments are welcome.

Do I need to remove the airbox? :eek: Nothing doing for a bit anyway, since I have a large bolt in my rear tire. Balls. So I'll be sorting that out over the next couple of days, and leaving my bike in here in work. :| :| In those pictures i took, the front of the bike is at the bottom of the...
