I use my FZ6 for moto gymkhana but the rear brake is causing me a real headache. It gets used a lot and gets very hot so I have fitted dot5 fluid, braided hose, EBC HH pads and a heat sink to the top of the caliper to soak some of the heat away. After only a couple of minutes the brake starts...

Is it only me that finds Garmin BaseCamp difficult to use. The actual route planning is simple enough, it's the file structure and where it's saved, how it's saved etc that totally confuses me. WTF is an adventure, or a list, or a trip, or a route. Why have they made it so difficult. When I...

I came across this on FB the other day and it makes a lot of sense so I'm posting on to see if perhaps others might share it, pass it round and see if it gathers momentum. They've looked scientifically at how our brains work, register, process etc and one of the simple things they are trying to...

Has anyone fitted a different caliper/rotor to the rear brake. I'm doing Moto Gymkhana on mine and have nearly set the thing alight a couple of times. I've fitted a heat sink to the caliper to dissipate some heat and stop the fluid boiling but the basic fact is the caliper is a weedy little...

Started using my FZ6 S2 for Moto Gymkhana this year, anyone else thinking about having a go? I've raised the bars, geared it down and made myself a finned rear brake cooler, all not necessary but gave me something to do. If anyone's interested there are a few of regional clubs, the East...

I have a dreadful throttle hesitation which has become a bigger problem since I started using my bike for MotoGymkhana, I need instant response or I might end up on the floor. I read in a post somewhere that you can get the ECU reflashed, anyone know exactly what that means, and a bit of a...

Anyone doing Moto Gymkhana with an FZ6? I'm having a go this year, bike seems pretty useful for the tight moves required. Fitted crash bars, sprockets to gear it down, rear brake caliper with PC heat sink attached to stop rear brake boiling, braided rear hose and racing brake fluid. Got a PC3...

I know it's a long shot but has anyone got a wheel or pair of wheels for sale. Doesn't matter if they're a bit scruffy, want them for track day wets. Even better if they had discs attached.

Has anybody tried either of these wheels in an FZ6 S2? I'm looking for a pair of wheels for wet track day tyres and these are much cheaper than FZ6 wheels on ebay.

I wonder if someone can help me out. I have an FZ6N and want to raise the bars by just a small amount, there's very little spare cabling so can't just fit a pair of high renthals. Does anyone have the dimensions of a standard Fazer handlebar, width and rise mainly. If I can find the dimensions...

Anyone fitted renthals and got a pair of standard Fazer FZ6 bars in the corner of the garage unwanted and unloved. If you have I'm looking to buy a pair. Thanks

I've got an S2 FZ6N and want a pair of wheels for wet track day tyres but wheels on fleabay are very expensive. Do any other wheels fit, maybe from an older R6. Anyone any ideas??

I'm sure this must have been discussed somewhere but no idea when. Are there any other wheels that fit the S2 model. I want a spare pair of rims for track day wets and the only ones I can find on fleabay are £300 each which is daylight robbery, If there are older R6 wheels or similar I'm sure...

I want to put some higher and wider renthals on my FZ6N S2, a potential problem looks to be how little spare length there is on any of the cables, brake lines or wiring, it all looks just long enough with no slack. Has anybody put renthals on and if yes how did you get everything to reach...

selling a PCIII USB for the FZ6, fits the earlier model, not sure about the S2, part number 410 411, made a big difference to my older FZ6, noticeably more grunt and better economy. £130 including postage to UK, posting outside UK email me to discuss.

For sale, brand new Zumo bike mount (£49.99 from Garmin) and a shortened and used power cable (£18.99 from Garmin), £35 including postage anywhere in the UK. Also includes set of new mounting bolts, allen key, two security screwdrivers and even a scruffy but serviceable carrying case, total...

In the last 6 months I've had two breakages of the pins that are attached to the top plate and locate in the holes in the back of my Zumo 550, one left pin and one right. Both breaks occurred while the unit was in position on the bike, not when taking it off or putting it on. Emailed Garmin and...

Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether or not the stock fork springs are progressive or not. I don't want to take them out to look if someone knows already. Thanks guys

I have just fitted a PC3 USB, a decat pipe and had the standard muffler drilled. When I looked on the Power Commander site they don't seem to have many maps to download. Has anyone had the same setup and if yes what PC map did you use? Also are there other sources of PC maps. Alternative is a...
