    Foot pegs

    You could have them anodized or powder coated. My fleabay specials are anodized and just recently broke through the coating of the actual contact patch. I think it took close to 3 seasons tho! Good Job Jerry for supporting the old Fizzy gang!

    ~~~ What did you do to your Bike Today Thread??? ~~~

    How often were the brakes bled? I ask as it looks a little dark like it missed a few changes over the years.

    Throttle Response

    I never dumped the $500 to have ECU unleashed flash it. That said, it should help but that flash is more for midrange to WOT performance where they address fueling and ignition map shortcomings. I suppose at some level I simply got used to it but advancing the ignition and correcting the...

    Changing the clutch, do I really need to drain oil and coolant?

    Glad you grabbed that bearing as I was going to suggest it. How many miles and why are you changing it? As for cover install, as you slide it on you'll start with the lever out there a ways and as the cover seats, hopefully a homerun has the marks aligned when seated. After a couple of stabs...

    engine cuts out

    Verify the side stand switch too. If it thinks its down it will shut the engine off.

    Decat pipe...

    Look at posts 9, 17, 34, 43... S1 vs S2 homemade decat pipes... https://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/51736-08-fz6-condensed-build-thread-final-impact.html

    Decat pipe...

    The one little pipe at the top looks pretty close. S1 and S2 are different lengths tho. S1 shorter S2 longer do to the sharp bend the S2 header has. Not sure why the picture above has that other hardware...

    Cam questions

    If you look close at the cams, the text on them has an "IN" and "EX". One each will have a paint swash on the one it is. Look for the paint and read the text under it.

    Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

    Idle is more demanding than you think. Due to coil saturation it can easily cause insulation breakdown at low RPMs under load. How hard is it to swap in OEM setup? Thanks for the follow up!

    Great to be back in the fz6 pack!

    Better close and lock thread before another racial battle ensues! Blah No matter the color, don't forget to mod the Wholly Sh$t out of it to suit your needs! And +10 for the Raven group hiding in the shadows!

    wobble at highway speed?

    Nothing personal but what weight bracket would you place yourself in? Where I'm going with this is if the balance of the bike does not apply enough force to nose, it can flop like shopping cart caster. Please verify the forks are seated near flush in the triple clamp +/- 5mm, and while up...

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    Perhaps what I should have said is if you have pinch points from bad ergonomics, chassis vibrations will make put the hurt on you fast! Lets us know if any of the above post plays a roll as there is a cure.

    Is it me, the seat or the bike?

    Thread spin - any chance it is vibration causing all of this? You never said vibes but honestly everything you described for both of you could be vibes that at the right frequency cause exactly what you are complaining about everywhere your bodies contact the machine. Do you have fairing...

    One side of lower shock bushing stuck in swingarm hole, ideas for removal needed

    This looks like a bike I know.... Exhaust and 100 other mods done since then but still one I know...

    How F'd am I??

    Question; when you installed and seated the tensioner, did you have the tensioner fully retracted? The outer body should fully seat to block and have the bolts snug before releasing the screw tension otherwise the chain will be stretched and guides damaged. Please describe what you did and...

    Speedometer shows 299 km/h :o

    Like any PCBA the components are static sensitive. Do not stand on carpet and open it. Best practice is to touch the surface you're working on and touch a grounded outlet or for example a bare metal case of a computer, electric stove, microwave, etc and then open it. Discharge yourself again...

    Speedometer shows 299 km/h :o

    Open it and look inside. Growth of foriegn material could be an issue?

    What ever became of this? Did you find a new problem or a solution?

    Help trouble shooting turn signal problems

    What if someone tapped into the headlight power to do some other job? If yes, it could change what is powered when the engine on and that fuse having a higher rating could compromise other components down stream.

    Valve Clearance ADJUSTMENT

    Repeating a few tips: Once the cover is off, plug them drain holes to the crankcase. Don't force anything. Like inserting tensioner. Take your time and make sure it is fully retracted. Cam extraction and installation; once the bolts are broken loose, use a 1/4 ratchet or stubby 3/8 and evenly...
