The chap suggested I use .90 springs, I am 104 kg so my thoughts were .95 springs, The guy is an Ohlins specialist in Ireland, so ill take his advice. He said he will set it up for me when installed, I will ask him about the shim stack! cheers man.
I will report back as soon as the mod is done...
Hey folks, after months of looking at race tec springs emulators etc.. plus lots of other brands! I also considered old R6 forks.
I was chatting to a suspension specialist in Dublin Ireland and he mentioned "had I not heard of" Andreani cartridge forks for my FZ6. I didn't think ANYONE made...
Oooh very lucky there man, I've slid sideways on bikes before, praying in those split seconds she doesnt go down, and i'll be honest, it would be more concern of the state of my bike after I hit the ground rather than myself (I wear full gear and have come off at track days when I was younger)...
The thing I dislike most about the fizzy is the soft non adjustable forks, easily remedied, but my old FZS had some slight adjustment on front forks, compression I think, Things I like.. everything else.. :)

I was praying it wasn't an engine rebuild, but the mechanics (friends) who looked her over before I bought it...
As you can see man, there is the matt black paint, it aint on the exterior engine casing just the front behind the down pipes..
And it on the pipe when it goes into 4 to 1 ?!?! odd ..
Hey Folks, I have the 2006 fz6 diamond black colour, My mate at the weekend noticed that at the front of the engine block (under the rad) is black half way up !?! is this normal, I havent had a look at any other black fizzies from that year, It was the last year in UK before total blackout of...
That sounds like a good deal to me!, you'll never regret buying an FZ6, i'm just a little over 6"2 and it fits me perfect!! 170 is a great weight for stock springs , i'm over 200, and it aint that bad, but will get new fork springs at some stage. Snap it up like a crocodile sand witch!!
Heal up soon dude!, accidents sometimes come from the least expected f*cking thing! I would have taken it onto the grass as well, would have thought she'd stay upright myself.
I have the same model as you man, shame to turn it into a FZN, I guess you can always pop new fairing on when the...
