Drilled mine out (straight down the smallest port) in 2009 ish, still happy with how it sounds to this day. - 65,000 miles since I did it. From memory I think I used a 22mm , 300mm long drill bit. (looking at the photo I think could have possibly gone a little bigger - like the 7/8th you say)...

Last time I had my FZ6 chain and sprockets changed the shop had left mine too tight . Luckily I know what it should look like without even measuring it and wheeled it back in for them to slacken it off to the correct amount. The FZ6 has a slacker than usual chain (45mm-55mm) (I'm sure it's...

Well Well 🙋‍♂️ I'VE GOT BOTH. @gnyce I got the FZ6 in 2008 as my first motorcycle and after some years of hankering after an FZ1 (for a bit more power too) I got that in 2018. The intension was to trade in the FZ6 - but I'm so glad I didn't, as I get to ride 2 great bikes. I don't need to...

If you do lower the FZ6 with the shortened shock link then don't forget to shorten the side stand and slide the forks up through the yoke. Also it's worth noting that the centre stand will be longer than necessary and more effort is needed to lift he bike up on to it., which I did look into...

I'm gonna ask, to rule it out, have you checked you have correct chain tension as too much slack will give the snatchy/jerk feeling :confused:

Bear in mind it's quite possible to get the center stand on the floor which will unsettle the bike o_O

There is supposed to be a lock washer that has two edges to bend up to hold the nut in place once torqued to 65 ft lb

many thanks for the birthday wishes chaps :cool: (sorry a bit late - I only check in every so often - hope you are both keeping well :))

Hi Erci (and all) I still check in once in a while, still have the FZ6 Fazer (up to 62,000 miles now) AND 4 years ago got myself a 2006 FZ1 Fazer as well :D. Regards, Senior

Wow Kenny..... [emoji33] I stop by for a quick scan through and Im surprised by this, but i guess its better to let it go and it keep being ridden... [emoji3][emoji106] Still got mine, upto 62K miles now from the 4k miles when I got it 11 years ago. It did get a big brother last year, a 2007...

Website says R&D in UK, so assume made elsewhere. My son has one on his SV650, it is well made and sounds good. https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/fz6-n-fz6-s-s2-fazer-1243-c.asp# Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The CO settings are set specific to each bike at factory. The FZ6 has 2 settings C1 controlling cyclinder 1&4 and C2 controlling cylinders 2&3 I had a fiddle and increased the set values by a small amount by adding a uniform 15 to both (I'm sure it does go up past 100 from memory). Note...

Hello All, I'm still here, I do look in from time to time..... Finally, I've got there to the 50,000 miles. I have owned my Fazer since end of 2008 when I first learned to ride, and got it with 3700 miles in the clock. Just got back from a 5 day, 1200 mile trip from UK to Germany...

Hey there, many thanks . I'm still here riding the FZ6, 48,000 miles can't wait to get to the 50K. Blah
