Well, last week end was a long week end... As some of you know, i had started to modifie my FZ6 pretty heavily, my last update had been the addition of new fork springs and new fork oil, and although the result was great, i was always curious how much a good quality shock and some Gold Valves...

I usually ride alone, i just find it easier, i can overtake when i want, filter how i want, i don't have to worry about someone being able to follow me. Since 90% of my riding is for fun, i don't usually have anywhere to go, i just ride, looking for nice roads, enjoying the moment...

Hi all, A bit of a stupid question to which i cannot seem to find an answer: How do you remove the shock if your bike doesn't have a center stand? I have a rear paddock stand, but fail to see how it would help me as it uses the swing arm to raise the bike, and a regular hydraulic car...

So, my friend also has an FZ6, 2009, 10000 miles. Since he bought it last year he keeps blowing the rear running light, always the running light filament, the brake filament never blows. When he changes the bulb it will not instantly go, it can last for as long as a week, and then suddenly the...

Hi everyone, Last week i installed some new fork springs on my bike and i thought i would write a quick report in case any one is on the verge of doing and needs extra convincing. My bike is a 2009 with 6000miles, i weight 180 lbs and measure 6'2". From the beginning i always felt that the...

Hey, Just wondering if anybody has ever used a lightbulb like these? Single H4 CREE LED Headlight Bulb for Car or Motorcycles - Hi / Low Beam They are rated at 2200 lumens, which is a lot more than most high performance H4 bulbs. What worries me is that it doesn't emit light 360 degrees...

Just wanted to give an update on my last modding frenzy... I started by installing a 15t Renthal steel sprocket and a speedohealer. The difference between 15t and 16t is pretty obvious, it doesn't feel like it has more acceleration as much as it feels so much easier to keep the bike in the 8000...

So, i wanted to change my fork springs and oil. After a bit of research i have decided to first experiment with different oil weights and trying to shim the stock springs to get proper sag in the front. It's a lot cheaper, and since i am only 176 lbs i think that i might get away with it as my...

Hey, So, i am looking at these Matris fork springs kits: CarpiMoto - Matris Fork Springs + Preload Kit for Yamaha FZ6/FZ6 S2/Fazer 04- rider weight Kgs 85-100 (187-220 lbs) And i don't really understand the way their spring rates work! I sent them an email and in italian fashion all...

Hi all, I am thinking of changing my stock footpegs for aluminium ones, i am not happy with the way they grip especially when wet. Has anyone done it, and did you notice an increase in vibration being transmitted to your legs? I know the whole rear set is mounted on rubber mounts, so i am...

Fz6n New goodies! Last week i spent a day working on my bike, Installed a Leo Vince sbk evo 2, an Evotech tail tidy, some JSR racing axle sliders and some smoked turn signals. The radiator cap was also painted with a flat black hi temp paint, i also changed the air filter with a new OEM (not...

Well, the day has come! After being told all my life by my mother that i could never own a motorcycle i decided that at 29 i was old enough to do it anyway! Took the 8 hours course to get my provisional license (valid a year in which i can pass my full test anytime) and bought myself a sweet...
