    I want a better windscreen for my FZ6,or Laminar.. on my standard screen? ?

    Ohh 😕 I have been reading a few different threads on this. Still researching what will be good for me..

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    Question: what parts do I need to do the 'two headlights always on' ? Does it take a special harness 👍 (preferred) to get 'em nice? I read a post here off Google about this,but so far not sure where it is.

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    Okay, did a 50/50 mix with two qts of distilled water & white vinegar,at first. I then followed it up with 4 flush cycles using only distilled water; by draining it cold,then filling it up with the distilled water,starting it up until 205 degrees,then shut it off until 125 degrees and draining...

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    The PO/Original owner looks to have just driven it for 14,000+ miles,with no service done 🥵 Just ride,add gasoline and ride some more;I should have offered $500 less The PO's son told me 🤥 some stuff about him "he always takes very good care of his things" :rolleyes: I don't know how much longer...

    I want a better windscreen for my FZ6,or Laminar.. on my standard screen? ?

    I want to sit-up a little more,but still tuck at speed;I'm 6'1". I like the standard height bars. I want to get a windscreen for my FZ6 S2 that allows less turbulent wind to flow around me;to cleanly slice through the wind blast,rather than mounting a flat as a board type screen which can create...

    Do they make 'hard mount' bushings for the S2 footpeg mounts?

    Yes, I see that dampers and special washers;not sure what type of rubber they use,but it's way too soft. I always ride with my weight 'on the pegs': 'loading the pegs' for control. I like the idea you mentioned in an above post about using all-steel washers,rather than the other OEM Yamaha...

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    This bike is a small workhorse;I'm putting another set of rear shocks on it soon,and,yeah I think I better wash it :) The engine is made from 82' XL125S cases & 6 speed trans and the crank & top-end from an 83' XL200R. This bike sits outside in my parking space(along with two other bikes)which...

    Do they make 'hard mount' bushings for the S2 footpeg mounts?

    Have you tried removing all the rubber dampers and replacing them with washers ? How many separate rubber cushion/dampers do they use in each side of these 'flexible flyer' style 'comfort pegs' ? I'll do anything to make mine fully solid. A little vibration is fine;I don't need rubber damping...

    Oil filters that will fit

    Sacramento traffic w/ lots of road construction can be stressful. I imagine I can get a good price online somewhere;I haven't looked because I always hunt for a brick n' mortar shop first.

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    The bike is surprisingly stable with weight on that rack. I'm doing lot's of laundry,and a few large bungee cords pulls the bag down.

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    The luggage racks are made from vintage CCA 3-piece luggage top rack which is 12x12",and I had them joined to BMW Airhead hardbag lower mounts. I would much rather have a luggage system,than not;aluminum would be much preferred.

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    I like that Very Much 👍 ;) I'm considering a 3-piece luggage system with large hardbags that're sturdy;I would like to find a good combination of lower racks for the bags and a mount for the top case which I can install a top-plate exactly like yours. I really enjoy running 2 wheels 98% of the...

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    I have a Service book on the way,should give me more info on service items;the PO didn't keep-up with it,but I'm going to turn that around w/ my bike ownership. I'm looking for the proper Yamaha model # so I can get the correct paper copy OEM Owner's Manual. Can I get the exact model # of my FZ6...

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    Gary, especially the coolant,yes;my guess is that the bike hadn't had anything like the coolant changed,plugs,etc. I plan to give this bike everything it needs. I imagine I have most of the tools,although a pair of pliers,etc? might be missing I have plenty of other tools to work on it;I hope...

    Hi, first post:been shopping and thought I had an FZ6..

    This is what I found under the seat of my FZ6: what tools am I missing from the kit ?
