Theres a lot of extra wires and crap once you ditch the front fairing. Right now I have mine bundled and taped but still looks like crap. Over the next few days it will be time to go to town with a soldering iron and some heat shrink. I'm going to cut all the wiring to the length it needs to be...

You can hear the idle rpm drop a little when the bike is ready to go. I crank it up, then in the meantime I put on my helmet, earplugs, and gloves and its usually good to go by then.

Im partial to delkevic myself. Decently priced, look great and sound good to me. Had one on my last bike that i like stop i got one for this one also. Left the db killers in and it was loud but not too loud with the stock mid pipe. Installed a de-catted midpipe and it got a lot louder. Still...

https://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk/product/yamaha/1B3835590000/cover,%20meter?uID=0 heres one for the rounded headlight, can only find them on european websites though.

Headlight is from http://www.speedmotoco.com/smc-scrambler-headlight-Head-light-unit-5-3-4-p/smc-scrambler.htm , they have some of the nicer brackets I've seen also. I ordered it from their Ebay store but you can order straight from the website also. They actually shipped me the wrong brackets...

Oh yeah. I have bar end mirrors that i need to finish installing and have black shorty levers on the way.

Just have everything mocked up so far, haven't wired or tightened anything down yet. What do you guys think? I should have gotten a bigger headlight i think, that one just looks a little too small to me. I also plan on getting one of the covers that goes over the back of the instrument...

Do the rears do anything with the hazard switch on and do the dash indicators work? Check your wiring, looking at the schematic the fronts and rears use the same wires coming off of the switch. There is then a tie point where the wires tee off and go to the back lights. If the fronts are good...

Is the stator cover scratched? Can't tell if it's a glare or a scratch in the pic.

I was close to ordering the Vs02 kit. Looks like a nice kit for the money but decided that I wanted to go the round headlight route. Just looks better in my opinion. Ordered $280 in parts. I'm not big on the looks of the dual headlights or the futuristic road warrior looking ones. I do like...

Havent dealt with it on this bike specifically, but there should be a drain hole in there with a tube that goes all the way through the tank and out the bottom where a hose connects to it and runs out the bottom of the bike somewhere. Could be clogged with dirt or debris. A couple of shots with...

I don't hear anymore tapping and I'm not concerned about the .22 and .33. It'll be fine for a while. I was looking at the plugs that came out. Not sure how old they are, but I don't like the way they wear. Both sides of the electrode facing the ground straps were visibly worn affecting the gap...

No shops that will be open before Tuesday and i want it ready to roll by then. The r6 and yzf600r (which is based off the r6 also), have .11-.2/.21-.3 specs. Why is the fz6 looser? As for the plugs, i was worried about piston clearance because it looks like the single strap plug extends...

Yeah, i was hearing a slight tapping. That's a sweet excel doc by the way. I swapped a few shims around. Intake is all in spec, around the upper limit though. All but two of the exhaust are in spec now, have one at .33 and one at .22. Going to let it ride for a few thousand miles then redo...

Doing valve checks on a new to me bike with 32k miles. PO only had it for about 2k miles and when I asked about it, he didn't even know what valve clearance was. Wondering if the first owner did it/had it done and it was screwed away. These numbers most are at or over the upper limit. Its my...

In my opinion $3800 is too much. Its location dependant, but I'm in a smaller area and you can find clean FZ1's for $4k. When I was looking for the one I just bought, One guy had an 09 FZ6 with 7k miles and some good mods for $4k, granted mods dont mean anything when it comes to price but this...

I was pretty much thrown clear, my only injuries are from hitting the ground. Had ACL surgery last year and smacked that knee on the ground. It's still sore but no damage. Worse thing was my hip, was wearing a knife on the hip that hit the ground. Had a huge, deep bruise from the handle and...

Hey all. Just got myself an 08 FZ6 and figured I'd stop in here to say hi. My last bike was an 07 YZF600r, sadly, she's been put to rest. Couldn't decide if I wanted to go full on Supersport or keep it a little more relaxed. I commute 70 miles a day and ride rain or shine. Clip ons have never...

So I decided on the 08 fz6. Seems like a good bike so far, just needs a good deep cleaning. The clutch was ridiculously tight at first so I lubed the cable and spring mechanism. I can't take the stock exhaust though, sounds like a scooter, so I have a delkevic cf on order as well as a cat delete...

Hey guys, I'm here looking for a little advice. I'm fresh off of a totaled out yzf600r and looking for my next bike. Think I've pretty much narrowed it down to a FZ6 or FZ1. One of the ones I'm looking at is an 08 FZ6 with 31k miles for $2500. Owner says its been dropped at a stop and fairing...
