    Racetech springs - effectiveness

    Cant speak first hand about the Racetechs but they have received excellent reviews in this space in the past. I just recently installed Hyper-Pro springs and the difference was amazing. Worth every $$, in hindsight upgrading the suspension (either with the R6 Mod, Race-tech springs or Hyper...

    Fuel Tank Vacum @##$%&

    To my surprise recently I pulled inot fule up and the tank would not open! through process of elimination it has been determined that the fuel tank is pulling a strong vacum and not venting therefore holding the cap down. The dealer is saying there is 1 way valve thta may be faulty. I ahve the...

    New tires

    I have a set of Road 2ct's on now and love em. Even had em on the track and they did just fine. No need to over think this. Head out to your favorite "backyard" ride at a modest pace and then loop around a parking lot a few times to get used to some higher lean angles (i would guess that would...

    Rear Spring Replacement

    Part of the reason I went with the Hyper_pro's was that there was little to do. The springs are progressive rate threefore no calculation needed. You simply tell them the bike make, model year and the entire package arrived with suggested starting pre-load settings to achieve a particular sag...

    Rear Spring Replacement

    I replaced mine (along with the front's) about 3 weeks ago. I would absolutely recommend it!! It is remarkaeable how much better the bike feels with the new springs. It feels settled, stable and predicatable. I am 6'1" about 205 w/o gear. BTW: I went with the Hyper-Pro springs. Brian

    Stone hit me on the knee

    This is a weekly occurance with my group. our rides are primarily on farm roads (paved but a little on the rough side) and the sport bikes with sticky tires can kick these little pieces of aggregate back pretty effectivly. It is quite effective at forcing appropriate spacing during spirited...

    HyperPro Springs installed

    I think I paid a little over $300 for the combi kit that has the front and rear springs and 15w oil. Pretty good deal considering the improvement, and it was good to go out of the box, I did not want to mess with spacer cutting and such so this worked well.

    HyperPro Springs installed

    I went with the standard, 30mm lower seemed a bit much for me. I am 6'1" and about 205lbs w/o gear so the height is not much of an issue. The install was easy and the difference is substantial! Instability I had gottent used to just dealing with are now much more manageable. I generally ride...

    Going to get 15,000 miles on my Pilot Powers

    Looking at those pics I would have guessed 1,350 miles not 13k!! I managed just a little over 3k and the powers were completely torched!! I commute most days (relativley gently) and pretty spirited weekends for 300-400 miles. Most of the the group I ride with ride on powers and I have NEVER seen...

    HyperPro Springs installed

    Installed these on mine and have been extremely pleased!!! The ride and handling and are so much better it's amazing. The best $$$ I have spent on the bike by a long way. If you love your FZ6 and want an instant upgrade and are on a budget this is the way to go, the matched set and price point...
