    Longest road trip?

    Looking for people either to meet up with or maybe potentially let me catch some winks in their driveway. (Or if something breaks, have a safe harbor in which to fix things.) I'm going just north of Milwaukee WI to San Diego CA in September and looking for friendly faces along the way. Any tips...

    It’s gone, I sold my FZ6!

    Always been jealous of you boys who can ride year round... I hope they keep posting mileage updates. I've had mine about as long but only managed 55k so far. Stupid snow. ;) Curious as to what you'll put in the stable.

    Kit?

    I got one to replace a broken naked setup. It ended up being PURE GARBAGE! Hardware didn't work with the kit, bolt holes that didn't line up, everything made from 100% pure chinesium. Mine was garbage, that doesn't mean 100% you would get that too, but just relaying personal experience. I ended...

    My Naked Conversion - custom LED headlight

    If you have the bd43 mod it's plug and play (if his light is the same plug as mine). That looks awesome! Was going to post my most recent iteration but you beat me to it. Mine is similar but I hacked up old bits instead of buying good looking parts for their intended purposes. The cut off looks...

    Saw this exhaust on aliexpress any opinions?

    I bought the cans last year, and by the end of the year they were noticeably louder than they started. I bet I'll get a year or so more out of them before I have to pack them. I bought the components, not the Item you have here.

    4 Degree Ignition Advancer Rotor Pick Up

    I'M LOOKING FOR EXCUSES NOT TO! ;) Anyone get theirs delivered and given the acid test yet?

    I am toying with the idea of changing the rear sprocket

    100% agree! Don't rely on the trans to absorb all of that when it doesn't have to. I had a friend basically stand on the rear brake (bike in N) and it was enough to break it free.

    4 Degree Ignition Advancer Rotor Pick Up

    Next oil change I may have to entertain this a little more.

    4 Degree Ignition Advancer Rotor Pick Up

    Could someone please provide even a rough idea of what is necessary to install this part? I'd like to pursue this, but just showing the part is like showing a left handed booblefletzer.

    What's your OEM battery life?

    I got 10 years out of my stock rocker, bought a cheapy and it lasted a year. Will be getting a dry yuasa and dumping the acid myself. Cheap and NEEDED for riding shouldn't be in the same sentence.

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    D arson would be the culprit. Needle was on there in deed, but wiggling a fork on top of paper did the trick. If someone on here has a clapped out unit where that movement works I'd be game to send you mine and go mad scientist on it. (ok more like mad engineer, but still.) As for pics, the flip...

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    I bought a used replacement as Yamaha wants $500 for a new one. Supply and demand I guess, but didn't know it was such a hot ticket item.

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    It plowed into the silver cylinder on the back of the tach. The mechanism which turns the needle. It frayed the incredibly small diameter wires wound inside said cylinder. As a result the tach malfunctions. I pulled the silver cylinder off, and what looked like pins came with it. It has white...

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    That'd be a nice 51k mile reset. :)

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    Bit the bullet and bought a new cluster. :( Couldn't find the component after a sleepless night. Does the display show mileage of the bike or does it transfer with the display?

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    Does anyone know if the 99-02 uses the same harness/ wiring as our FZ6? Specifically 2008. If it'd simply be plug and play I would need some new shorts!

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    During priming of fuel pump and electronics turning on, the tach would only spin to about 6k and stop, drop and go back to 6k before dropping again. I took gauges apart and found the new screw had punctured the silver case of tiny wrapped wire. On the side in tiny letters reads I or L 7C7A...

    inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis.

    Rhymes with brewed. Is there a way to replace the component on the back of the tachometer, or am I looking at a new cluster? If I'm stuck buying a new cluster, does anyone have any suggestions under $200? Lower is better.

    Rubber problems

    That'd be the devil. Thanks guys. Site comes through again! :thumbup:

    Rubber problems

    Just got a euro FZ6N headlight "kit" and it is evident (and verified elsewhere) there should be some rubber bits between the headlight body and the sides which hold the indicators. What are they called and where can I source them? The kit didn't include them and they are being a nightmare.
