    Valve clearance check

    Thanks for the guide! Taking photos of the rubber cover and all the cables really made it easy. I got the damn flappy rubber mat back in five minutes thanks to the documentation. The no. 1 left exhaust valve was just barely within spec but all others was just fine so no adjustment this time...

    ABS brake line fitting

    Hey, I want to put risers on my handlebars but the ABS brake line is really short. There is a local shop that can make a new longer custom brake line but I need to identify the fitting used on the 2007 FZ-6n S2. Looks like the master cylinder hose is permanently crimped to the fitting, and...

    Leo Vince Install

    I don't think you guys are using the five-hole disc correctly. Consider this; some people report that most of the exhaust gas is expelled from the right muffler, being in line with the pipes and all. People also report that putting the five-hole disc in the cat eliminating pipe seems to...

    Great Buy on Clutch & Brake levers

    I got the same thing. The clutch lever has a fixed copper spacer which makes a 8mm hole. The OEM lever hole is 10mm with a loose spacer to fit the 6mm bolt. I tried pushing it out, filing it out and then drilling. I pretty much destroyed it. I bought it from seller the2wheels. Edit: Maybe I...

    Cheap Brake/clutch levers

    I bought the cheapest ebay levers, I think I paid about $45. I haven't installed them yet but I'm pretty impressed with the material and build quality. Not so impressed with the assembly though. All four bolts had to be tightened or it would move up and down the hole. Fearing color fade I got...

    Quest for the perfect tailbag continues

    I'm looking to get a tail bag that could also be mounted on the tank if I take on a passenger. The Ogio does not seem to have magnets, but are the straps long enough to reach some part of the frame where it can be attached? Or will it even fit at all? The tank on the FZ6 is pretty oddly shaped.

    Straighten up and ride right (handlebar swap)

    As a first step I tilted the stock bars back a bit so that the bars point more downwards. That really evened out the pressure on my palms, but it made the riding position even more forward. I got a pair of bar risers but I'm not sure they will fit without modifying the brake line. Largeish...

    Straighten up and ride right (handlebar swap)

    After two weeks on my 2007 FZ6n S2 I have found the handlebars to be too low and too swept back. My palms hurt after just a few minutes from the angle and after about an hour my back feels strained from the forward position. The solution seems to be swapping the bars for something more comfy...
