Yes, I went with the "organic" pads. Mainly because the brakes were so bad when I got it that anything would be an improvement. I had a spider and web in the left front piston (the bigger one). I would guess it hadn't worked in a while. So I thought it would be a good time to try the...

More proof? Or 15 yards for piling oin? Yamaha Fazer FZ6 ride outs - Stereo Love - YouTube

Why not leave it in 2nd and coast that way. If it starts to stall pull the clutch. I try not to stop for red lights. I'll leave her in 2nd and 'walk' her to the light. normally I can catch the light going green without stopping. This, done as often as possible really increases gas mileage...

I assume you are talking about the sticker on the bike. The number on the bike and the number on the tire should be close. I'm using 2.5 rear and 2.25 front. I assume those are atmospheres. That is what the sticker on the bike says and I cannot read the number on the tire. Old eyes. In...

Lots of things were. I finally got things sorted out, I think. I still need to make room for my fat feet and loosen up my Knee bend. After A couple of hours my knees go stiff and getting them down for a landing gets rough. Like I told the last cop to stop me for running a stop sign; "but I...

My BAD! I came over much more critical then I intended to be. Poor writing skills. :spank:

Here in America it's a pretty good bet that some one will figure out how to take the 5hit off within a month of it being released. You will still have to pay for it. Then there is the weight. Why would you need TC off a corner? The trick there is to not get your wrist into it until you are...

Yes, I agree, which is why I was looking to buy new now while I can get a new bike without the training wheels. I love my Fazer but she IS 10 years old. This past summer, I spent more time fixing then riding. That is a trend that needs reversing. It looks like an FZ-09 is in my future. I...

They had me sold but I'm changing my mind. It is the traction control and ABS. Knowing how to ride, I need neither and don't want another bit to repair a few years down the road. So it looks like I will be riding my faithful Fazer next year. Unless I find a killer deal on an FZ-09 and...

I went the other way. Had an '07 FZ-1 I'm now on an '05 FZ-6. The Little Fazer is much harder to ride well (fast) but much more rewarding when you do. The six is not a point and shoot bike. Lots of point but not much shoot. Way more point then the one, way less shoot. More fun, better...

OK, signed for and the box is sitting right here. I have a brother that is a retired mechanical Engineer and I think he will come over this weekend. So he should be able to figure it out if I can't. Final. Mine.. All Mine...(insert I5an3 crackle here) But in the off chance I cannot get them to...

Not at the time but that's OK. I don't race, and don't ride the streets hard enough to be concerned. I still like the pictures. I just like having a number to work with. I got into the habit of daily pressure checks back when tires had inner tubes and pressure was a sneaky way to keep track...

Massive thanks! I bookmarked the first two.:rockon:

M20's that I run at 2.5 rear and 2.25 front. Not sure what that is in PSI. They get checked every morning, riding or not. That 2.25 and 2.5 is right off the sticker on the swingarm for a single person.

Good! I wear all black for that exact reason. I DON'T want them seeing me! I'm a harder target that way. If a rider cannot see a moving 3,000 pound object that is 20+feet long, 5 to 6 feet wide and 5 to 8 feet hign they really need to take a bus. Not sure someone that blind will pass the...

That was a deal, or it sounds like one. I had real bad luck with Dunlops back in the 70's and avoid them today, Adele (my FZ6) came with Q2's. I had to admit they were tough tires. The kid I bought the bike from had burned them off. A strip of steel was all that was left of the center of...

OK, money sent.:rockon: As they are the new pegs will be 1/2" back and about 2" up. So that will at least get the shifter off my instep. Thanks for measurements. That makes you my friend, data which I shared with PayPal.Blah

Ok, I set up a Pay Pal account just so you can see I'm a buyer and would like to move forward. Fook the measuring tape. It cannot be any worse then stock. I have had serious problems with PayPal so I will just leave that account open long enough to get you your money. Let me know how much...

Stainless steel brakelines.

Will you do this for me; pull the bar back to the theft lock position and measure from the end of the bar to the peg feeler? That should give me an idea of where I would start for fit. I'm going to google Rizoma and get an idea of how much adjustment is available. I'm a boomer and sometimes...
