Also, if you had your rear brake caliper off, check if the inner brake pad (the one close to the wheel) is installed correctly. It's possible that the front end of the pad has slipped from the "ledge" it's supposed to be seated in. Since it's hidden from view from the caliper side, it's an easy...

Second that. Just installed a pair of these. The quality seems very nice and they look excellent. Add the price factor and voil'a, you've got yourself a great deal there.

Anybody know the answer to this perplexing question? :D

Yeah, that sounds like a plan. What about the fork oil weight? If Ricor says to use 5W oil and the stock oil is also 5W, wouldn't you be stuck with the original damping curve (as was previously stated)? If you used lighter oil, the stock damping wouldn't be limiting you, but will the...

Do you mean price wise or performance wise? In the US that might be true (regarding the price that is), but here in Finland I'm pretty sure that used R6S forks would be a bit more expensive and also maybe tough to come by. Shipping from the states would also probably run at least 150-200...

Just ordered a set of these. Yay spontanianity or something! I wonder if I should also change to the stiffer RaceTech springs? Ricor says "that 90% don't have to change to stiffer springs", but I'm doing these mods for the track....

I'm thinking of getting the RaceTech springs and improve performance at the track this way a bit. So a couple of questions about the procedure of replacing the springs. 1 ) Should you replace other components such as fork seals etc. while replacing the springs? 2) Do the forks need to...

Ditto. That's why I made small cuts in the necks of the bolts, that mount the frame sliders on. The cuts are right under the head of the bolt and are made around the whole circumference. I took probably 1/3 of the thickness of the bolt off. And should it snap off, there should be at least 1.5...

You wanna see an ugly mug, eh? Well there you go: But, in my defense, it was a theme party and I was dressed as a drunk hobo (including the blacked out teeth, eye and so forth) so... Edit: Had to put a second picture. The first one makes me look too handsome and will give people the...

Just installed Scorpions on my FZ. They sound pretty nice without being too loud (at least in my ears, don't know what pedestrians/cagers think :D). A few small problems did arise during the installation. Firstly, the clamps that secure the silencers to the 2-1 pipe are somewhat small. Even...

There you go:

Is the horn mounting bracket available?

Sounds pretty cool. And extremely handy not only to monitor your current vehicle's oil, but also when buying anything second hand. Would be really interesting to know more about the exact way it does the measurements ("capacitive and resistive" is a bit on the vague side), and if it really is...

Feels like it's christmas. Only it's kind of warm outside and I can ride my bike :thumbup: Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's front and rear, K&N filter and the cherry on top: Scorpion Exhaust.

The turn signal relay provides the on/off blinking action to the turn signals. If the bike doesn't have a turn signal relay, then yes you need to install one. Simply bringing a hot wire to the turn signal switch will cause the signals to be on without the on/off action. And you can probably...

This might seem like a stupid question, but does that wire have an insulating film over it? As in, it's meant to be used as inductor winding and it's not just bare copper wire?

There is probably something wrong with the stator, if he indeed is getting around 0.7 ohms between ground and the stator connector pins?

Can you replace the individual coils or do you have to replace the entire stator assembly? Google found a few places where you can buy the entire assembly, but for quite a hefty price :eek: From the UK: http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk/spares/partImage.asp?GPN=Z:[]=69655555 Or USA OEM...

And just on a small side note: Some people here say the marks on the rear fork might not be exact and adjusting the rear tire by them will not guarantee a straight rear wheel. I agree with this as today I adjusted the rear wheel straight using the "two wooden planks" -method described in the...
