I do a similar thing but use the pillion grab-handle to pull the tail left and off the ground (pivoting on the sidestand). Can do the whole chain in 30secs. I spray in the same region although don't bother with the rag. Gets the lube on the best side (inside) of the chain.

I dropped mine 8mm which worked a treat for the oem tyres. Headshake was up, but I could live with it. When I installed the Pilot Pures, instability was crazy. I popped it back up to stock and it was far better. Now with Pirelli Angels, I left it stock and the turn in is fast, and stability...

Ha at least there's no argument over who gets who :)

I think that's a man.....:D

I'll take 1:27 please :)

I'd like to chop a TDM900 motor into my FZ6 :)

No I don't think so. When you jam on the brakes hard you want the forks to be more difficult to compress so that you don't bottom. When you're cruising and hit a small bump you want the fork to easily compress and soak it up. I think we're saying the same thing though. When you say hard SLOW...

PM sent.....

So what the cartridge does (which our forks don't have) is vary the openings for the fork oil to travel through, depending on the force applied to the forks. You push down slowly, the holes are large so the fork compresses easily. Push down fast, and the holes close up making them harder to...

Ah sorry, so I mean lowering the front end by allowing your forks to come up in the triple clamps. On the named model it takes all of 2 mins. It's only the 4 bolts holding the fork tubes. Factory is the top of the forks flush with the triple clamp (or yoke), and the most you want to go is 1cm...

Ha ok here's my take :D

I'd like to see it with an MX numberplate on the front!

You could spray some cheap chain lube on your chain and wait for a black build up on the rear wheel :) Nice bike BTW (same as mine!). I love the bronze wheels, breaks it up a bit and a very unique colour. The burgundy seat took me a bit to get used to but love it now as well.

My young blokes like making didgeridoos out of used cling wrap rolls - there's one to add to the list. OOOoooiiiiiiiyyyooouuuuuooooiiiiiyyoouuooyyouoyouoyooo

Re: FZ6's on the road/spotted ! I see an older silver FZ6 on my morning commute about once a week. Usually around the Pymble/Ryde area. Wears a dark matt Shoei helmet and always sports a yellow backpack. Are you on this forum, mystery rider?!

Hehe yes it's an Aussie thing. They're lights that turn on when there's traffic about just to let you know. There's also Speed Humps here as well, for when there's just no time for romance :)

Do you think your standard fender is going to fit at all, or are you going to look for an old R1 fender? And are you running the stock shock?

Insane. Love the look. Can't wait to hear how it handles. Can you come over and do mine? BTW it looks like the rake has changed (but obviously it hasn't), are the forks longer than the FZ6s? Is the front now riding higher, or is this an optical illusions?

Ha that's site's funny. Some shoddy stuff there like the Black & Gold fruit cake! And Ginger Bears, never ever seen them, sounds horrible. So you guys don't get Milo? That's worth a try if you haven't already. And the Maggie Beer quince paste is unreal (as is her Pheasant Farm Pate - it's my...
