i did it a few times when cars stick too much to the right that they close access (we are right hand drive). i dont like to do it but because as said before there is a lot of debris on the shoulder and besides, many car drivers never bother to look to the left and tend to cut you off, not to...

i would like to thank this forum too, i have been logging in nearly daily since 2009 when i joined. i dont post too much compared to other members, but that s because in some areas i do lack knowledge so i'd rather stay shut and learn from others than post stupid comments. that said,the most...

ah yes. my eyes are pleased. the bike looks proper now. you can ride it safely. the clamps that hold the handlebar can be repainted, the triple tree is a bit more difficult to do tho as you have to remove the whole front end plus the ignition, which is held by 2 safety bolts that have to be...

hi Army for the safest helmets check out this website sharp.gov.uk. it rates individual helmet models of various brands on a star based system 1 being poor 5 excellent. this should at least give you an idea which brands to start looking at once you find 3 or 4 brands that you like the...

Welcome Army. if you want you could ride the bike to train and practice; on the proviso that you grind/chop that menacing arrow. the colour doesnt actually look bad. its a paler shade than yamaha's own power blue, (the power blu looks better of course;)

timmat these would be good yes with the 07 forks. they look better too:thumbup: if you do get the whole set up then its plug and play...and yes the axles are the same no need to buy a different axle

hi final, i know you were joking but yes i'm real sorry about the sale as its the last thing you want to hear that something does not fit, but its better to be clear and not have any hassle afterwards.

the symptom sounds like the ones i had on my car. the battery had a shot cell and wouldn't keep charge. i kept it on a charger everyday and it barely had enough juice to start the car. if the car didnt start on the first attempt you ve had it! i had the battery load tested and it confirmed that...

i went the other way round. i installed xjr bars, had to drill some holes for the swithces to fit, and the brake lines were at a stretch since the bars have more rise than the stockers. the bars are an inch or so wider than the stockers and you have to be careful to angle them well for your...

hi timmat. the 2pot calipers you have will not work as is on the s2 fork legs. the reason is simple. the mounting points of the 2pot calipers are 86 mm apart, while the mounting points of the 4pots are 100 mm apart. so if you want the 2pots to work on the S2 forks you need to fabricate a...

what i do with mine on the few times that i use it is to get the strap under the frame of the bike (where it narrows to meet the headstock). i leave it a bit loose so as not to scratch the frame. its more of a safety feature maybe as the tank bag is solid enough with just its magnets. when it s...

very nice paint job. different. i like it:thumbup:

congrats on your ride. its very neat and well kept. unfortunatly, as other have duly pointed out, that's not an 07 model. at best its an 05, because it has the silver frame which came in 04-05 model years, so that makes it an s1 model just like mine:D. the 06 use the same hardware etc as the...

i got my license on a suzuki dr125. it was fun. then after a break of 8 years i took some lessons to get the feeling of biking again and bought the fz6. then about 3 years ago i was given a wreck of an old bike to do up and use for work. a kawasaki kh100 of 1979. after a lot of trouble and...

that s bad to hear. very sorry for your off. at least you came out in pretty good shape. as for the bike the damage seems minimal, however i would change the bracket that holds the fairing to the frame (bottom hex bolt under the u piece), as those are the first things to go out of shape in...

its great looking i like it a lot. is the speedo the original round one or did you change it to fit in the small cowling of the headlight? if its still the original seems to have fit nicely in there. we need more pics to admire:D, side, drivers view etc etc

there are battery tenders/chargers like 'ctek' that come ready with this extension. you plug it to the battery once and leave it there. it can be discreetly hidden under the tank or fairing. its waterproof too so it wont cause havoc.

don t worry your stock bike is as powerful as any stock fz6 be it black, blue, red, orange, yellow, antrachite,white, silver,green, multicolour! its just a 'running humour' in the forum like others have duly informed, just like 'you have a headlight out' Welcome to the forum and enjoy...

congrats Bram. Awesome deal. i hope the new ride serves you as well as the 6 on a side note---did you sell your fz 6 complete with the sexy led taillight you put on it some time ago? if you kept the taillight i would like to buy it off you please. thx

very tidy. congrats. whenever a member gets a new bike i always feel kind of happy too (maybe because i see a lot of pics:BLAA:
