How is there not a single reply?? I find it hard to believe no one knows the answer, and if it's a stupid question let me know. With it them both being a yamaha and using a detuned R6 engine one would think the throttle housing would be similar. Starting to lose faith in this forum.:stupidpc:

Awesome. Thanks for all your help. Time to hit up the Clinton Lake loop West of Lawrence:Sport:

I am using the using the point referenced in the manual, which is one of the mounting points for the chain guard/wheel hugger on the swing arm just behind the rear sets. I then got the chain to the tightest point, and with a metal ruler I measured from the bottom of the swing arm to the top of...

Straight up I am totally new to wrenching on my own bike. When adjusting my chain slack per the owners manual, with it on the center stand and adjusting it to spec, I notice that the chain comes into contact with the rubber attachment located on the top of the swing arm right above the...

Recently picked up an 06 GSX-R 750 and have been on a few forums. Pretty common for them to switch to an R1 or R6 throttle cam which is 1/5 or 1/6 turn respectively. My FZ has been my track bike and the long throttle throw is a pretty big pain. The gixxers require some modding of the throttle...

I got mine from Biohazard Cycles. They've got the same price @ 590$. You'll probably want to invest in the sound suppressors. I love loud exhaust but without suppressors my ears were ringing post-ride, even with ear plugs, especially on the interstate. I love mine and the fender eliminator kit...

On the IOM clip above I read a few years ago that his rear shock actually snapped, which is why he couldn't recover....

Awesome, appreciate the advice. Not real happy since it was the head tech which gave me the "Sounds like something's wrong with your clutch." line. After the free realignment it might be time to look elsewhere for service. Thanks again and I'll keep you posted.

My 09 FZ6 is at 10,000 and miles was taken into the shop last week for new Michelin Pilot Power CTs front and rear. Upon leaving the shop there was a slight rubbing "vibration" that i could feel through the handle bars and pegs exactly from 22-20 mph while the bike was coasting in neutral. I...

I have done a total of about 8 track days and as I have progressed I have noticed that on one level slow right hander (35-45 mph) it causes the front tire to "shutter". The bike remains stable and the movement appears to be vertically within the suspension, but this is quite unsettling. I am off...

In my experience running @ 5,000 rpm in 1st, then clutching up to about 7,200 rpm and rolling into the throttle as you abruptly release the clutch works reliably. (Keep the back brake covered.) For 2nd, you'll need to rev up to around 10,000 rpm from 5,000. A little scary but there's really not...

I had an incident during my track days this weekend and am not sure what i've done. I ran off into the grass to avoid a downed bike at about 80, lost control and the bike slammed down on the left side. Besides cracked front fairing and signal damage, my triple clamp and bars are now slanted to...

I purchased a brand new Bell Star helmet with the Transitions face shield a couple of months ago. I have been extremely happy for most part, other than what appears to be a very light rattling sound when anywhere from 40-80 mph, about 10-20% of the time. I believe it is a button swivel for the...
