    Bad clutch basket? Symptoms? How many miles do you have?

    I was just infomed by my mech that my clutch basket should be replaced. My bike has 26k miles of smooth riding, clutch was never dumped to pop a wheelie etc. Last bike that I got up to that mileage had clutch "as new" (as possible) when inspected (a ninja 650r). The reason I brought the bike...

    Whirring sound from front sprocket (or so it seems) after a dead chain was replaced?

    Excuse the massive title. :rolleyes: I was just on a 1000 mi+ trip with my FZ6 S2 and figured out in the first 200 miles that my chain was shot (I know). A few links seized up after 2 hours in the rain and I tried to loosen it up with some WD40 and motor oil after but not much I could do, the...

    Battery (landport?) question

    Mkay, I'm 500 miles from home, my battery died. I have access to tools, found a video how to replace the battery, just wondering if anyone knows the difference between the Landport YT12B-4 and Landport YT12B-BS batteries? Both are same size, voltage, capacity and +/- location, yet one site...

    Windscreen for FZ6n S2?

    Hello! I was just wondering if there are any low-quality made in China worthless options for the FZ6n S2? I've found windscreens for as low as 15 euros for bikes like Honda 919 (Hornet 900) and SV650, but nothing for the FZ6n S2 seems to go for under $150-100euro! I have a EU spec...

    Cell phone/gps mount?!

    I hope I hit the right subforum here. I'd like to mount my Samsung Galaxy II on the handlebars to be able to use it as a GPS, however, I'd like to find a mount that will enable me enough articulation so I can use the same phone as a camera to record video. Anyone aware of such a thing...

    Acceleration and ABS demonstration!

    Here's a video I just did: Yamaha FZ6n acceleration and ABS braking test.. - YouTube 720p & 1080p HD available! 0-150kph (90mph) acceleration (1-2-3rd gear) and ABS demonstration from 45mph (65kph) to zero, both brakes 100%. Shot with Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) and edited with the...

    Cheap(er) exhaust?

    Bottom line, I want the Akrapovic, but I can't even afford the Leo Vince that is considerably cheaper. Any ideas or should I just forget about it? It needs to be street legal (EU).

    Gearing change WTF, someone care to explain?

    The theory that I know and which should be true, is that the speed on the bike is "read" from the front sprocket, and changes to the sprocket should affect speedo accuracy. Changes to the sprocket SHOULD NOT result in changes to indicated speed vs revs on the bike, right? If I had 62mph...

    Lowered rear? How to go back?

    Hello! I have reason to believe the rear of my fz6 has been lowered. Can anyone tell me how that is done and how to undo it? My rear fender scrapes the rear of the bike when 2up even with preload all the way up.. and the bike does look a bit lower then other FZ6s around me, but I might...

    Rear brake/ABS problem

    Just got the bike and there's issues already. :confused: I noticed that when I picked the bike up, the rear brake was "sticky", as in.. it would stay applied for a few milliseconds after I released the pedal. Didn't think much of it, scheduled a brake fluid swap in a week or so, since I don't...

    Taller gearing?

    Hello everyone! Excuse the wrong subforum if I posted in the wrong section, but I wasn't sure where to go with this. I was wondering.. in this day and age where everyone is going for shorter gearing to get better acceleration.. has anyone went the other way? I've done +1 on the front...
