    S2 Gauge cluster housing replacement question..

    My S2 gauge cluster, inside the main screen, is beginning to fail. In fail, it appears as if there's moisture INSIDE the upper left side, however there isn't. So, I suspect time has taken it's toll on the plastic. As the assembly works fine, I found an aftermarket assembly HOUSING.. It...

    Melted plastic on header fix!

    Found a piece of what appeared to be plastic melted to my header. The piece was approx 2" x 2" on the RS outer header. Metal polish, brake cleaner, raw fuel wouldn't touch it.. After some research I ended up using a heat gun and a 2x4 piece of wood.. Put the gun close to the plastic, pull...

    Thermostat install

    TOG suggestions...

    Although I'm not a big fan of TOG's, all the damage I've ever incurred to my FZ are from 0 MPH tip overs. I'm looking for the best constructed, (preferably name brand-not junk) TOG, to protect mostly the fairing, fairing stay, etc. I really don't want super long, goofy looking TOG' and it MUST...

    S2 Front Wheel "Free Spin" video

    I've posted several times about the S2's front brake seals, over time, dragging. (S1's not so much as they have half as many pistons) This (IME) is due to rubber hardening up, grit, grime, seals don't allow the FOUR pistons (each disc) to retract. The below video was taken today, with...
