    Differences in swing arms

    So other then the much easier way of adjusting the chain on the later models is there any other advantage of having an s2 swing arm? If it has any other advantages I would possibly consider it before I service my current one which I believe is the last run version of the s1 version a mine is...

    Threadlocker for Disk Bolts

    I will be replacing the bolts that attach the front and rear disks to the wheels. The torque specs are relatively light (13 and 22 ft lbs respectively), and the service manual calls for thread-locker. I seem to recall having removed one of the bolts previously, and it was an SOB to loosen...

    Location devices for safety

    I know many riders don't ride the terrain we do here in SoCal but this is not just about riding. My wife and I love nature and we hike when ever we get a chance to. We have many local trails in beautiful areas (canyons) within 2 miles of us. This story about a couple hiking in Joshua Tree...

    Trusted Yamaha service parts EU

    Yamaha has released lighting parts in EU but not in the US. Can someone point me towards a trusted dealer who won't rip me off? Perhaps a web url or call them and ask about pricing on these? Short video in operation. Winkers w/DRL Front: PN# YME-FLB2F-00-00 https://youtu.be/tcJ8rI-mPk4...

    Re-use K&N air filter clean and add oil?

    Hi again Fazerers I hope you're all well and bikes are too. I bought my FZS with 24k on the clock and no service history so I've changed the oil, filter, plugs and I've recently ordered a new air filter to add to the service. I assumed the filter would be some cheap standard thing but...

    This bike is fast!

    It is! Like a 'lil rocket, I say. :Sport: So here is the thing. I got my bike around 18 months and 13,000 miles ago and never did anything but tires and a brake bleed, oil and coolant and new battery. Being a seven year old S2 model in the fastest red, who knows what had been done to it prior...

    Valve adjustment before sale?

    Come spring, I might be selling my FZ6. It's a 2008 w/24k on the clock. It has been down twice, though it looks very good. I know it's time for valve service, and I know it's beyond my skill set to do it. I have a shop I trust, and they said they'd do it in the off season for ~$350. They...

    Really chuffed

    I had some heated gloves a while ago that were brilliant, but they only had a years warranty and broke. A lot. I bought some Gerbings to replace them because of the improved warranty and although they didn't look as cool and weren't as comfy because I ordered a size too small they lasted much...

    Service Advice

    I have had my 08 FZ6 for about a year now and it has 4100 miles on it (bought with only 2300 on the clock) With the miles being low but it being about 6 years old, what service would you recommend on it? I see things for higher mileage like plugs and servicing forks, but more curious about the...
