I'm starting to understand. thanks Gary

Graham,when you cut a bit off the factory Yamaha spacers,was your intended purpose for less preload:to soften the ride ?

Oh, please tell me more about why ? thanks Gary,could it have something to do with the lack of rising rate monoshock linkage,so the spring needs to do that work ?

Seems that those Hyperpro springs you purchased have a different length to them,compared to the standard springs?

I see the YSS #MZ456 as a very good option for me and it comes with a linear spring. I am also getting the YSS fork springs:a 'rising-rate' spring. I will order these from EPM Performance in Whiting,NJ;they have very good customer LIVE PHONE service. ;) 👍

I see. This custom oil filter has their own brand of oil filter element.

Graham, I'm glad to hear you've ridden it for a few years and it hasn't degraded in performance during that time. I'm most inclined to consider it for my rear shock absorber,at this point;sounds like a very good bargain for me. thanks,Bill 😉

The Calsci is worth a look,so I'll read some more reviews from the past.. any new 6' riders/owners of Calsci screens ?

08' FZ6 S2 and 6'1" and so far have only used the stock/standard screen;I want more protection sitting-up but not sure if going to the full Puig Touring screen will be best considering what I read about it letting the wind-blast hit me in my forehead? I like the FZ6 standard OEM bars and forward...

Seems to be the strongest option;designed for that exact purpose.

Graham,good looking emulsion-style shock and attractive price. 👍 How do you like the shock absorbing performance of that YSS shock,while traversing various and sundry road surfaces ? How difficult is it to access the preload adjuster and rebound adjuster on it ? Have you ridden on it for a few...

Ideas ?

Bryan said the standard is just a bit over $1000,but I want to have hydraulic preload. He quoted me "between $1280-1350" I would like to have it set-up like my 1st Gen. 1986' VFR750F(had it late 90's,sold now)w/ my Fox Twin-Clicker and the 'can' with adjustments I can get-to while seated...

I called EPM in NJ today and they told me about the Hyperpro Type 461 :)

Graham,did you get the exact model YSS shock which they recommend for your FZ6;does it have the features that allow you to fine-tune the ride ? I wonder if they have a YSS dealer who I can speak English(I imagine they are in Thailand)with here in the USA ? I have heard good things about YSS.

The shock was on 3 when I first got the bike;I put it down to 1 and it's still very hard. :( Seems like too much compression damping? I was speaking with a Yamaha guy from Partzilla the other day and he recommended an 05' R6 rear shock,the one with the red spring;he described how it has...

Yeah,that's the special tool I'm looking for. I can use my toolkit's sparkplug socket as mentioned,in a pinch;I'd rather use the best tool.

Nice Classic

Maybe small spiders got into the Ebay tach,built a few webs inside the mech.,unless it's sealed 🤔

The S2 redesign of the fairing didn't help ?
