Came across this at work today, the things farmers do. The best filler cap I have seen yet I will give him that.
Well buying the tzr250 fell through (for now anyway) but I am picking up an original un restored Yamaha YA6. 125 single cylinder 2 stroke. About a 1966 model. Still in running order and only needs a few minor things all that rusty looking stuff around the handlebars ect is just a layer of dirt and muck, under it is original gleaming chrome!
Nope not yet, have got to finish off a few other projects first. Have a dt230 I'm still trying to get back together with a full rebuild and have to put a cam chain in the old mans fzr1000. To many projects and getting a lot of bikes in the shed. Not a bad thing though I suppose
Am on the hunt for my next project now
Funny you should say that...
How about putting different springs into an FZ6 front end, heavier fork oil and braided brake lines?
Does that sound like something you'd like to challenge yourself with?
I know of a bike that is in desperate need!
LOL!
Cheers,
Rick
Lol...the braided brake lines are dead easy to fit, as for the forks, that's a job best left to a suspension specialist, especially if you are going to get the gold valve emulators, with your new springs, which is a good idea....
That way you can get the suspension guru set up the valves and shims, properly with your new springs, and emulators, for your weight, and riding style...
Your new springs wont be progressive springs like they are in your forks now....so a decent set up is needed, IMHO....
But if you just wanna shove the new springs in there, and change the fork oil, i cant see that being too hard....i have a workshop manual for an FZ6 here...

EDIT: As for the suspension guru - anybody you'd recommend?
I wouldn't just siphon the oil out and put new stuff in. I recommend pulling the forks apart all the way and cleaning them out, the amount of sludgy stuff that builds up in the bottom of the fork is amazing. Besides the tool to drive the fork seals (can make your own out of PVC pipe) you just need a rattle gun for the lower bolts in the legs.
Not me......... Im always logged in :BLAA:
