Interesting. I've spent a bit of time measuring up the OEM lever today. Yes, it looks easy to make a jig and set the pin at 10mm longer between centres. I will attempt to build the lever complete, rather than modify an OEM lever. That way I can get the mod done without down time. I'll do a small...

Yes, From what I've read so far it sounds like a lengthening of the lever and an adjusted cable mount is all that is required. I'm not sure how the multi drilled holes fit in to that, as soon as I see a photo I'm sure it will all click together. I'll keep trolling through the pages when I get...

Thanks Scott, I'll keep going back through the pages. I started to, but got impatient after about 20 pages each way.

HI, I'm new to this forum, so I apologise for taking you back to the start of this thread. I agree the FZ6 could do with a slightly larger window of clutch take up, as giving the clutch a little bit of slip is quite difficult. Particularly when trying to start in a hill I'm in Australia, so...

Yes, I would throw that much at an OEM quality head light that would last the lifetime of the bike. The last HID headlight I converted in my Subaru began having issues almost immediately. I was hoping someone on this forum would have tried and tested it already.

Is that a wax stat to allow more air in when cold? I noticed it the other day when I had the tank off. I take it the tubes (lower) of the photo are some kind of pollution equipment?

My 05 FZ6 won't crank intermittently too. I just ordered a solenoid off eBay for $10. I'll throw that at it before looking any harder at the starter. They are easy to change and are a carbon burnt contacts is a common problem for them.

After researching on here and checking out some exhaust videos on youtube I've decided to give the stock FZ6 muff an internal hair cut. It seems that the stock muffler flows reasonably well, as power gains only seem to be measurable once the cat is removed (S1). Most opinions on here are that...

Yes, that's right, mine is a Euro spec bike with immobiliser. The non-chip key is quite common and can be picked up anywhere, however the chip key is rare outside of a dealer. The chip keys part no is: 5SL-82511-08 I was hoping that someone on here knew where to buy the chip seprately and...

Hi, I picked up my 2005 FZ6S last week and it was supplied with one key only. I'd like to source a spare with the transponder. Can anyone recommend where to get a key, i'm happy to buy online if I had advice as to how to order the correct key. The listings on US website bikebandit.com...

Hi, I picked up my barn find 2005 FZ6 and have been hunting on here for anything about adjusting the chain. Ive found some threads about cleaning the chain and the correct amount of slack, however I was hoping an experienced owner could post a how to for chain adjustment. My bike did not come...

Hi, My name is Ian, I'm from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia. I pick up my 2005 FZ6S S1 12,000klms tomorrow. I was lucky to find a one owner stocker thats been looked after. This is my second Yamaha, my last ride was a faithful old Kawasaki ZR-7 that I put about 60,000klms on it. After...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and didn't see anything recent aside from the sticky about building our own angle eye/HID head high conversion. Has anyone tried these? Yamaha FZ6 FZ6S FZ6 Fazer Custom Headlight Assembly 2003-2009 $700 sounds like a lot if they are assembled using cheap...
