front

Looks like I need a new left front rotor for an 08 FZ6, but it is probably better to replace both sides at the same time. Four Questions: 1. Tell me if I wrong in that assumption. Given the miles I have on the bike I'd prefer to pick up someone's low mileage ones that are in good shape than...

I was on my way to work a few days ago, riding my normal route. There's a few miles of hillside road that I usually run through on the way to work. Just got done changing my fork springs a couple days before and enjoying the increased front end response. As I exited the last turn of the...

04-09 FZ6 FORK OIL and seal replacement - With Steering Head Bearing Swap! We had a need for a FZ6 specific write-up on the front fork seal and oil replacement and I have until the end of February to get this done so may as well start now! This job gets you so close to the Steering Head...

Recently, I had my tires changed. During the tire change, I learned that my front brake pads were worn and required changing. So, I ordered the EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads. Anyway, I found with the OEM pads that I had to squeeze really hard for them to really grip, and I was hoping that...

Today on the way home.... IN THE DARK !!!, my headlights, sidelights and front indicators just stopped working. The full beam dash light (blue one) came on and stayed on until the headlights and front indicators just started working again :confused: Rear tail light, brake light and rear...

Many of you have inquired about what has and not been replaced after logging 100k miles so I have created a list along with the reasons, except for the obvious such as the fluids, chain, bulbs, etc. Still original OEM from zero miles. 1. Front brake pads and rotors 2. Hoses 3. Oil and fuel...

Hello, I am currently trying to sell some left over parts off of my 2008 FZ6. These parts include the headlight assembly, front end fairing, front end insert, and front end fairing stay. The gentlemen that was inquiring about these parts wanted to make sure that it would fit his 2006 FZ6. Would...

Hi all, During my last MOT they advised that my front tyre had uneven wear on it. I can see that the left side of the tyre has like flat spots. I'll try and get a pic soon. What would cause uneven wear on the front tyre ?

Hi all, just another quick question.... My bike recently went for its annual MOT (which it passed straight through) and the tester noticed that the front brakes seemed to be binding slightly although he didnt judge it as a problem. So i took it home and took out off the caliper and removed the...

If anyone in the UK has or knows of a pair of Front Calipers that will fit a 2004 FZ6 could you let me know as mine are damaged. I have found some online but there about 300 quid each side. thanks guys

Any tips when it comes to removing the front sprocket cover? I would like to give it a good cleaning over the winter season and was hoping there is an easy way to remove cover. Thank you!

Can't really talk to non-bike friends about this, and family and close friends would worry if I told them. Riding from my work to the city tonight, about a minute or two down the road the cars I was following braked a bit more suddenly than I expected, no worries as I was at a safe distance...

Hi Everyone, Just joined - been looking at FZ6s and am going to look at a potential buy later this week. I can sit on it all day and think it's comfortable and I was curious to see what some experienced riders say. I don't want to be bent over causing my lower back to ache. When I sat on it...

Hi all, Anyone used aftermarket brake discs on their FZ6 ? Can you recommend any ? I need to replace front and back on mine.

Hello, Unfortunately last year I laid down my 2008 FZ6 and decided to turn it into a street fighter. So I figured I would see if anyone was interested in some of the parts that I don't need anymore. Not everything is in perfect condition. However I will outline the condition below. Front...

Hi Folks, I'm hunting on pair front turn signals with mounts for FZ6 2008.

I had a close call yesterday and I thought I'd share the story and what I learned from it. Yesterday afternoon I took a leisurely ride through the countryside after mounting my freshly balanced front tire. During the hour that I was out I practiced 3 panic stops, which I make it a point to do...

Can't believe I'm here... I was riding to work yesterday. There was this red Chevy Blazer in front of me that put turned on its right turn signal and started to turn. I sped up to go around and the front end of the Blazer whipped back and smacked the back right side of my previously perfect...

Just picked up a set of these.. Where would you mount them on the FZ6? Mine is a 2008... I see a few options on the front near the fender but seeing what others thought or may have done. Denali DM Micro Single Intensity LED Lighting Kit with Full Wiring Harness & M8 Mount -...

I picked up few really neat *exercises* in my last training and would like to pass them on to you all. 1. This one can be practiced by riders of all levels. Hopefully you already know that initiating turns is done by a deliberate countersteer (press right to go right, press left to go left)...
