I did it shortly after picking up my used '05 in 2007. Been good ever since. Doing it will provide additional light to the right for shoulder and road sign issues. Its not a perfectly aimed beam because the reflector is only designed for the high beam but it still helps, looks better and doesn't...

That's interesting. I wonder if you had a shorter cable than what it should have been or maybe the old cable I had was too long.. ?! I could set so much slack in the lever with my old cable in place it was ridiculous - the lever would literally flop around and I could not do a 2 finger pull...

Just a point to note - form the mock-ups in the first post it looks like you are using Yamaha music's logo, not the motorcycle logo. Yes, there is a difference. The points of the tuning forks extend to the outer edge of the circle on the motorcycle logo (symbolizing spokes) but only to the inner...

Not quite sure what you guys are talking about - the lever is adjustable, don't waste money on 'adjustable aftermarket' levers just for that. I have an '05 and adjusted the clutch lever myself so that it engaged about midway out - I have short fingers. The lever was actually loose at the fully...

Thanks for that guys! Looks like you all had a blast and a little 'wake-up' or 2... yikes! One day I'll get to Cali - but its a long way from the great white north on 2 wheels. I've made it to northern Montana and Idaho...just gotta push it a leeeiiiittle farther! haha :)

Simply "Effie"...for the obvious reason and the not so obvious - it was my grandmother's name and she was a cool lady! :)

After reading through this thread my 24,000kms in 3 riding seasons on my FZ6 seems rather weak. :( She's put in storage from Nov 1 until about April 15 every....WINTER dammit! which doesn't help much. But I did put 32,000kms on my previous bike, also my first, a GS500 over the same time...

Hi there!! Just joined up after having accidentally found this site in searching for answers to a disturbing vibration problem. I fixed the problem after doing a few checks on things. Needless to say I will not overfill the oil again!! What a huge difference! I don't think my Effie has ever...
