I used some hardening putty for the dent and a can of clear coat off the shelf. I did it on the cheap...but it turned out better than I expected.
I'm actually considering a matte finish now...for all the painted pieces...
My journey to restoring the battered 2007 FZ6 I purchased earlier this summer is almost over.
Got a tank from a dealer in Cali...had a few dings but the price was right. Got some work done on it today...
Cooler air is more oxygen dense. So the quick answer is yes...cooler air will bring some extra oomph to the engine.
There are other factors that come into play tho...that can work for u or against u. So I'm generally speaking of course.
Im almost done with getting my 07 fz6 back to mint when today...surprise!...I noticed the tank has a soft spot on the left side where it was apparently patched with bondo... And bigger surprise...it was damp with gasoline. (it got worse as night went on too).
I found a minor dinged up 06...
A guy with the email address [email protected] (and name Larry it appears) is attempting to "SELL" me specific parts I listed on the forum in the "parts wanted" thread.
BEWARE...he's scamming. Even if he's hacked someone else's account...don't send this guy money.
FYI!
Ok...i saw a video on youtube showing the steering bounce test to see if you have bad steering head bearings. One of my sides bounces. 8-(
(assuming that is legit method)
How much should I expect to pay for the steering head bearings to be replaced if they are bad?
Hey ya'll...
A few of you have been very helpful in other threads. I want to make sure I'm as informed as possible before taking my bike in this week.
I have a slight shimmy at 35-45. It is occasionally above 50. At the lower speeds...it feels like a gentle left/right wobble at times...
