Any Synthetic 10w40 4T racing oil. Mobil 1 Castrol are the 2 I like the best I am not a fan of the cheapo Rotella blue jug.

It sounds alot like whatever impact caused the bend of the rotor also caused the caliper pins to bend which would make it be out of alignment.

I have a pair of fairing visors. They are in fair shape with some surface scratches. You could use them as is or if you want them perfect I would recommend a repaint. I got these in a lot of parts and I believe these came off of a 2005 model. Part #'s: 5VX-2830D 5VX-2830C These...

Hey all - I am looking to move on to a new bike and have been giving some serious consideration to the Yamaha FJ-09. Truth be told I think there are really slim choices in the sporty type sport touring market right now. I wanted to know if there are folks here on that bike now and get...

I replaced my OEM battery well before it failed at around 4.5 years. Incidentally I can tell you anything other than a YUASA as a replacement is an inferior battery. I swear by OEM. I got stranded with a cheapo replacement, I won't do that again. not worth saving a few bucks

I had my switch go bad after about 35k miles of use. The Yamaha switch is a little pricey for what it is. Used this one instead - the fit is good and it works well. not sure if you can get it shipped from Amazon to where you live but it might give you an option to look at...

sounds like the forks are slightly twisted. I have a friend who owns a bike shop. when I first got the Fz6 he looked over my bike and told me forks were a little off. he pushed the front wheel against a hard object and applied force (by hand) on the handle bars in the direction needing to...

yes it is the same fairing for 2004-2006

Chabis77 I have one but not pristine condition.. priced fair. PM for details. thanks - Tom

I've run -2 sets of PR2's - Outstanding longevity and performance.and good in the rain. -Angel GT have about 5,000 miles on them. they are decent The Next time I get tires I am going back to PR2 3 or 4. Nothing wrong with the Angel GT I just like the PR2's better now having a means to...

Chembiker was the guy offering it

wow this is pretty F'd up. I keep gaining weight and wondered could my side stand fail when getting on the bike. I do have a Mig welder and could easily put splint reinforcements on it.

changing the handlebars is a little bit of a pain but somewhat one of the easier repairs you can do yourself. it will take a bit of patience but I think you can do this yourself. And this could be the perfect time to swap in with an Fz1 bar for the same price. much better angle on the wrists...

I think the cans are plenty good but the connecting pipe could take some work, I would guess very few of us can weld and bend pipe so the cost for an exhaust shop to make something up could bump up your cost a bit.

I am kind of in the same boat 4 year old Yuasa. at rest with ignition on I am about 12 volts which I know is a little weak. the factory Yuasa worked great and never failed me in 7 years. I swapped it out while it was still working fine. One thing I really dislike about the 6 is the weak...

They look pretty good and that's a very cheap price. I guess you would have to roll the dice for what they sound like or maybe you could find a youtube vid. at that price really you get what you get. One thing looks weird though is the straight pipe.. doesn't look like it will fit into the cat...

Top Sellerie for 5+ years. Not sure how I ever rode with the stock seat.

there should be a bracket securing the cans in place. I think #7 from the tiny diagram. I will say I've had this exact setup for 7 years - still sounds great so you have a good starting point to work with. Getting replacement parts could use some research as the LV are manufactured in Italy...

I've been putting off getting a helmet cam for a long time. With a trip to Maine coming up next month thinking maybe now is the time. I don't have lots to spend and would consider getting an entry level one now and upgrading in a season or 2 What are you guys all using? recommendations...

Have a great birthday Eric. I miss those group rides where a "few" riders show up (you know like 40+)
