I got a set of these early last year...they are really cheap and nasty, quite honestly, and do not look good on the bike. They do not have the range of adjustment that you're looking for and are actually worse than the OEM mirrors for rearward vision. One of the mirror bodies actually cracked...

Northern Ireland.....that's still part of the United Kingdom. The currency in N. Ireland is the Pound, same as Britain. Gas here in Vancouver, BC, Canada is around $1.10 a litre, which "translates" to about $4.15 (Canadian) a US Gallon, or about $5.00 (Canadian) an Imperial (Brit) gallon. The...

I have that same light installed on my FZ6, and it's no fun to install. Removing the OEM taillight is a nightmare on its own. I'm at work right now, but will have a look when I get home for the instructions. IIRC, there is a website that has the same instructions, but the URL is on the paper...

If installing the Fiamm horn in place of the OEM horn (same location), point the "outlet" of the horn downwards as far as possible so water can't accumulate in the horn body. I also drilled a small drain hole in the body of the Fiamm horn at its lowest point. Now...I haven't ridden much in the...

Did you buy the low tone or high tone? I installed the recommended low tone last year and it's been a life saver. I'm considering pairing it with the high tone one as well for an even more "startling" effect.

When you have a moment, could you let me know how much wider the FZ1 bars are than the OEM FZ6 bars?

Well, I must be a close 2nd at 63. :rockon:

That's a nice accessory, and a nice installation. I'd be inclined to shop around for a more suitable screw for the clutch lever pivot, however, that has a smooth "shank" where the bearing surfaces of the clutch lever contact it like the OEM screw. I'd also make sure it's high tensile as...

I've never seen this mentioned here, but here's an old Mechanic's trick:- If you do spill brake fluid onto painted parts, or if you simply want to clean up a brake fluid spill, don't wipe it....The simplest, safest and best method of cleaning it off is to simply wash it away by pouring clean...

It could be just the darkness of the photos, but that looks like the (all one texture) OEM seat cover....Are you sure it's the Comfort seat?

Well, I'll be brutally honest with you. $4000 is an awful lot of money to drop on a bike that you'll probably spend more time repairing than riding. Nice condition or not, it's still nearly 45 years old and will require a lot of TLC. I owned a 1962 BSA A65 in 1967 and it was very, very high...

My question was probably a bit vague, because I didn't want to start a debate on oil. :rolleyes::D I'm quite experienced with oil and filter changes....I've probably done thousands of them during my career. ;) Here's my dilemma: I have 1 new, unopened quart of Amsoil 10w40 Synthetic bike...

Has anyone ever managed to put more than 3 liters (or 3 US quarts) of engine oil in their FZ6 when doing an oil & filter change?

It looks to be an updated version of my excellent Manta XL, which has the old Sony Discman round pouch instead of the square pouch on the Hammerhead. I think the Manta XL may be slightly larger, however? (hard to tell without a side x side comparison) Edited to add: Ah, I see you mentioned...

This was quite a puzzle at first.....every review of the 2009 FZ6 mentioned that it now came OEM with the Comfort Seat. However, every 2009 that I looked at had the "old" seat, both in Canada and the US. Some pretty serious miscommunication between the Yamaha advertising dept, the press and...

Only the US FZ6's speedo's can change from MPH to KPH and back again. Our Canadian FZ6's don't have this function. How stupid is that. Installing a Speedohealer does provide this function, however.

A hairdryer is not a heat gun....it has nowhere near the heat output of a proper heat gun, which will make the job of removing decals a piece of cake, regardless of how good the adhesive is.

I use 0000 (stainless) steel wool and Autosol. I'm betting that fine steel wool and Ajax powder cleanser would do just as good a job as any of the proprietary chrome/metal polishes. ;)

Oh boy...:D:popcorn:

So where is that in Edmonton? :D
