I agree, it would be best to check all bolts and follow the sequence in the manual. I'm glad to hear that a few people have read this thread and then checked their bikes :cheer: I've done similar in the past, read a thread/story, then checked it out myself. It's the best part of this...

Good to hear you found it before it cracked the frame (This forum is good for that) I would torque the bolt as per manual (see attached - 2004 manual) Cheers, Mac.

I would like to hear how you go welding in place. I've already pulled mine apart, but would be good for anyone else who has this issue. I don't wheelie or stunt, just commute weekdays and hit the mountains on the weekend. I might lift the front under heavy acceleration, but it's only a few...

Well, time for an update. I have finished stripping the bike. I removed the subframe earlier in the week, and have been slowly undoing and removing the wiring/cables at night. Today I removed the swing arm, the front end and controls. I have just finished pulling the frame off the...

Snapped the bolt :eek: how hard were you trying??? Anyway, here's a link to the ebay page (I hope). M10 Allen Bolt KIT With Left Hand Thread FOR Yamaha Motorcycle Mirrors | eBay This is the shop address: universalpartswarehouse on eBay If that doesn't work, the name is: M10 Allen...

How much bigger is the bolt to the hole? Sounds like you need to reduce the diameter of the bolt (sanding or lathe?) or increase the diameter of the hole (drill). If possible I would work on the bolt. Not much help, sorry. Good Luck with it. Cheers, Mac.

Can't help much on the shock question, I'm still on original (04 fz6n - 56k miles). I'll just say - :welcome: Best forum on the web. :needpics: Cheers, Mac.

Looks like there is plenty of rain today :(, did you pick up the new bike? I'm interested in your first impression, and the comparison to the FZ. Cheers, Mac.

Turns out postage makes it un-economical for me to buy... Thanks anyway to Kayufa. Cheers, Mac.

Will be watching this thread with great interest :rockon: Good luck with the build, and keep the updates coming. Cheers, Mac.

And the penny drops... Awesome looking bike, Congrats mate :thumbup: If/when I go larger it's on the short list. Happy travels. Mac.

What colour was it? NO NO, I don't want to know :spank:, it's gone and I need to move on... The guy going to do it is a very experienced welder and a long time rider :thumbup: And I am taking the opportunity to do other repairs/upgrades while the bike is apart. Only limit is funds at...

Fender (with Light) and Levers are in the post. :thumbup: I sent them express, so hopefully you will get them tomorrow. Cheers, Mac.

Original number plate light on new FE. If I can remove it I will include it. Cheers, Mac.

I'm after the handlebar, only 50/50 on the levers. I'm not after the indicators! Which bits were you after?? Cheers, Mac.

I will express post them today. If you PM me your mail address. Cheers, Mac.

PM has been Sent.

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon.... Checked my bike after Saturday morning ride - Crack has grown!! So, Today I started pulling bike apart. Subframe removed, next to drop out the motor. Going to try to remember to take plenty of pics, you get caught up doing the work and you...

I could live with that. Do you have paypal? I'm not in any rush right now, just started pulling bike apart... Let me know, Cheers, Mac.

I dug out the fender. I also removed the levers, they have been on the bike a few years, therefore not the best looking :eyebrow:. (see attached pic). I'm pulling my bike apart to get the frame welded and I'm trying to fix/upgrade a few things along the way. (see pic) Problem is, work has...
