Thanks for your help. I gave him all your ideas, we'll see what comes out of it. Nha I didn't steal it, I hope he didn't either :P The wheely crash was around 100kmh/60mph so it's quite possible he had to replace alot of the parts, not sure how the bike landed after that and if it hit anything...

Hey Im trying to help out a person with FZ6 2006, he did a rebuild of the bike after high speed overcooked wheely.... He got all the parts replaced, including cable leads, switches and connectors, he also had to replace fuel pump relay and it worked from first go. About a month later he got...

First impressions, it's all good! I did aprox. 50 kms yesterday, bike feels stable in the croners no side-side play in the swingarm and i can't feel the movement in shocks bottom mount.

The freeplay/slack in shocks bottom mount. I've marked it on this pic (still not from my bike)

I heaven't had time to acctualy ride it after all that work :) Bearing rides on that bush/spacer and seals seem to be doing decent job of keeping bearing clean. I doubt it will cause any problems but I started wondering how the hell could it got there in first place, was the shock and tabs not...

Hey Scot, thanks for checking. I didn't measure the torque when i was taking it off, but the nut wasn't so tight as when i torqued it back with specifed torque (120 Nm in metrics) so it might have been little loose... As to the bottom mount, only part that could be worn is shocks own bottom...

I took it apart last night, took me over 4 hours (beacuse of the additional givi rack and bolts that didn't want to take it the easy way). To be honest there was still some grease on the axle and on the bearings since it came out of factory but since i had it already out i regreased it all...

Alright, thanks for checking FinalImpact. I've got the grease (finally!) and I should get to it today, one more question do i have to remove the exhaust, besides the mid-cat pipe?

Thanks for quick replys. I had some time and it kept buging me so i went into garage and kept on checking. I took the wheel of, checked it's bearings and it's fine, they run smooth. I didn't take off swingarm as i didnn't have any decent grease around to lubricate it after taking it off so i...

Hey Yesterday when I was checking the chain slack and doings regular checks of things I've noticed little loseness when holding the rear wheel at 3 and 9 and moving it right/left. It doesn't happen when i rotate it to 12 and 6 and do the same or top/bottom. I didn't have time to take the wheel...

Nice, so you guys did enjoy the N193, i don't remmember if it was before or after Corte that from that awesome wide road it was turning into a really small road in every city we did pass and N196 from priopiano (we did took some smaller road from Ajjacio to almost propiano which was big mistake...

Yea Corsica is quite amazing for bikers, is that the road from Corte to Porto in the video? The mountains and twisties are amazing you guys were quite lucky it wasn't as hot as when we're there in the begining of june (after some have fires already). That's the one day trip, without the...

youtube blocked it :/

They used to ride those bmw's as a support class during MotoGP weekend and if i remmember correctly Randy Mamola (whos signature is on the front faring of that bmw) used to ride it in that class.

To spoil it more with current and future wifes.. My soon to be wife owns FZ6's that Im currently riding :P, she's been riding it since the moment she bought it brand new. When we met we had two bikes (her's FZ6 and mine bandit 600) in the mean time i sold bandit and when we usually travel it's...
