While we are here - 50MM measuring from where? Middle of chain when at its' highest and lowest points? Or _include_ the chain, so upper-of-chain at top and lower-of-chain at bottom?

Soo.... with temperatures dropping, figured it was time to install the new wire (to battery) for the replacement controller (Warm n Safe) for my heated vest. Always a PITA to get the plastics out, etc, so "while I'm in there...." - new wire to battery installed (yes, it has a fuse) -...

On this day - October 9, 2015 - I officially purchased and brought my FZ6 home. First bike I've owned since forever (teenager)! Bought it sight-unseen (my older brother drove an hour to check it out for me), bought it before ever riding on one, or sitting on one, or even seeing one in person -...

Gary, you are going to need a bigger garage in about 3 years, is my prediction....

So first, this site/forum is dedicated to the FZ6 - your FZ6R is a totally different bike. Having said that, it is a friendly and very knowledgeable bunch (me not so much - on the knowledgeable side). When you say "it's not the cable there is slack" - are you referring to your throttle cable...

Plus One on this... I have it, I believe it has helped and not an expensive 'fix'/tweak.

maybe it's just me but without any periods to demarcate the different sentences, I just see... one massive run-on sentence. (shrug)

@TownsendsFJR1300 was making/selling them for a bit - I have one, still use it. He provided instructions to re-key to your ignition key. Dunno about any others, but that would be my guess

machine shop is probably best. But if you insist on doing yourself, I would (personally) do something like: - centering drill bits to make a hole in the center of the remaining bolt - https://www.amazon.com/self-centering-drill-bit/s?k=self+centering+drill+bit - then take a torx bit, slightly...

Agreed, just watched the latest 280z video earlier tonight. I find him pretty amusing.

I have the Shad as my daily driver - have for years, so can't really recall how it compares to the OEM one. I think 'marginally to OK-ish' better but I don't believe it was a revelation and solved all my issues. My original seat pan went to Terry Adcox (terry's custom seats), who built up...

Crap - ignore all this, re-read and your bike is Naked. Doh!! _______ I have an S1, and have replaced the stock windscreen with a Givi - which is _marginally_ taller. It's enough that I no longer have an issue (or it's less of an issue... or I'm used to it?). I've done long days (~750 miles)...

My 2 cents (other than Gary is right)... - stainless steel brake lines.... big improvement in my mind. - clutch push lever from an MT07... improves clutch lever feel https://www.partzilla.com/product/yamaha/1WS-16340-00-00 - suspension (as mentioned) - I've stiffer springs/heavier oil in front...

Last week, during a family trip to Northern Italy/German/Austria, I had two highlights worth sharing (here). 1) While at Eagle's Nest, waiting for the bus to the top, I heard a familiar exhaust note.. and sure enough, it was an FZ6! Rather, the EU version, I think a Fazer? It had the round...

OK good. Next item I would consider is the thermostat. Cheap part to replace, but if it is not opening, that could also be an issue (I think - there are smarter ppl on this forum, but I've had to replace a thermostat in other bikes, so...). I think you can test that by removing the thermostat...

I have Spiegler SS brake lines and can confirm, no junction/split - 2 fittings + banjo bolt as @Motogiro sez

Obvious first-question to my mind... does your fan kick in at all? It should/is supposed to. I would verify that first before going down any other rabbit hole - but that's me.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/27vpQELzeFrqq42A8 Not sure I understand your question... but I found it!

Checking, I think I know where it is in the garage but need to verify (sorry, am in the middle of a bathroom renovation, ugh). Give me a bit...
