    Changing fork springies

    Hey folks, for those of you who switched out their fork springs, did anyone get a .95kg weight? and how does it feel? I'm 100 kg, 6ft2. The reason I ask the question is the Dublin suspension specialists suggested I go for a .90kg spring to compensate for Irish and UK roads compared to the...

    Racetech rear spring swap - questions

    So I stupidly thought this would be a straightforward swap. Silly me. I just discovered that the recommended springs from RT are 0.25" shorter than the OEM spring, so I need some kind of collar/bushing/spacer/whatever to make up a half inch of space. Has anyone done this recently that has a...

    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...

    R1 shock punch list

    Thanks to the work done by Hellgate, FinalImpact and DHoback, we know that it's possible to fit an R1 shock onto the FZ6. However, I'm still confused on exactly what I'd need. This is what I believe I need along with some questions: - 01-04 R1 shock - Aftermarket R1 shock preload adjuster...
