9) lastly, lube. I use DuPont's Multi-use dry. Paper towel to catch the excess. VOILA!!! I had to rush because it was getting dark. Maybe next time I'll do a better job. I didn't get chance to use the T-9 rust protector. We'll see how long till the rust returns.

The raining season left some nasty chain rust. Not only unsightly, I can't stand the fact it's eating away at my FZ. Have no fear, Mello is here. I've learned from maintaining woodworking tools by using Boeshield's products for rust cleaning. Rust Prevention Rust Protection Metal Penetrating...

Oh... they come as you see them. The only other piece I didn't install was the center piece. So, 3 pieces total. Plus they gave me a small snakeskin as a sample. Nahhh... didn't like that, not only looks weird, it's too thick as well. The trick to install is to heat the pad a little (with...

After finding some fine scratches around the tank, I decided to install these tank grips from Techspec. I believe these are the High Fusion type. Enjoy!

Just read this and brought back memories. I'm not the type but this one incident stuck with me. Bear with me please... We were 18-ish at that time, typical surf and tennis Southern Cal boys. One summer evening we were cruising around the beach and ended up grabbing a late bite at a hangout...

Congrats! Temperature should be in the high 170s highway. Stop and go about 190. Cooling fan will kick in around 210.

I added the comfort seat to my '08 and by looking at the picture of the 09, it's not comfort seat. It's only marginally better than stock for the rider. The biggest difference is the passenger section. Thicker and more comfortable for 2nd rider.

I didn't mention this because I though was placebo but you're right. For some reason it makes launching or rolling off the line much smoother. Thanks. These blue ASV are only from Yamaha dealers. IMO, manufacturers produce bikes to be one size fits all. Functionally that's fine however, all...

Way to go... sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing.

5 long pages and every post is relevant. The reality is we all are commonly unordinary. In a way, we're all Kahunas, catching waves of almighty earth. At the end of the surf, we always touch down on the beach. Although danger lurks in the water, riding the wave is much more spiritual. We...

In case you missed my previous post about these levers, this is the followup after a couple of days cruising with these babies. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/12989-asv-levers.html Since I bought a couple of sets, I decided to install the standard lengths. The installation was a...

Excellent!!! Congrats, I have Leo's as well. Love'm. If you're not set on Pazzo levers, I have a set of ASV's if you're interested. Let me know. http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/12989-asv-levers.html

Very well done on the write up. I'm interested to hear how it works. Keep us posted.

Are there any aftermarket chains there are rust proof/resistant? I've seen some on R1/R6 and they don't rust as bad as the FZ6s.

RIP my local friend. I'm sorry to see that you have to post this. Let us not take our bikes for granted.

Added pictures onto the first post.

Awesome! Welcome and ride safe.

Really? From where?

Anyone want a set of blue for less than dealer price?

90% commute to/from work... family duties off hours. But oh boy, do I look forward to the journey... and leaving the office.:thumbup:
