That's a beautiful bike! I ride an 86 FZ600SC that i wish looked as slick as that. have a few questions i would love some help with. what mods have been done to the back of the bike? what gauges are you using? Any info on how that headlight is set up?

Managed to forget the screw on the pet**** knob for my 86 FZ600 anyone have anything that might be suitable or any tips where to find one for a decent price? i was a genius and forgot to screw it back in after i finished working on it. Thanks!

thats what we thought as well this weekend i took the floats out and checked 'em they seemed like a solid chunk of plastic/foam so we set em in a bucket with a little fuel for an hour or two and had no change in the level they floated at. I'm thinking this might be the big problem. i ordered...

just got back from vacation and plan to rebuild the petc0ck and then replace needles/seats and clean the carbs good. while I'm at it I should replace the in-line fuel filter i have in it. just need o get the time to do it. I'm really wary about running the engine much just because of the amount...

Looks like the pet**** was leaking after the engine was off so ordering a rebuild kit and probably some needles and seats (even though they looked good). Am i wrong in the assumption that the carbs should be cutting off the fuel into the crankcase if the needles/seats are good? im going to try...

so with the rain that hit California recently my bike sat for about a week without any decent running :spank: went out to start it up earlier this week and found a puddle of fuel under the left side of the bike dripping from the pick-up coil case. did a little looking and found the bike had been...

looking for a compatibility chart similar to the one stickied for an 86 FZ 600. I'm really just looking for handlebars that are usable since the stock ones i have are bent. I'm hoping a more available handlebar will work or you guys have a great solution to get straight bars without having to...

went for my first ride on a canyon ride today, the ride is fairly mild in comparison to some I've driven but still managed to go down. I had already ridden the road one way and had just started on the way back and came into a corner a little hotter than i was comfortable with and in a split...

thanks!! any input on switching back to stock or cleaning up the gauges as they are? I'm not happy with how they look. Or can you guys give me an idea how hard it is to repair cracks and repaint fairings? thanks!

Thanks!! The pics might be a bit big but the first set was when i bought it the second was the shoddy job i made up to hold some gauges on the thing. I'm still thinking of finding a stock headlight setup but haven't decided yet.

hey everyone, after reading a few posts to get my bike running decided to join and contribute. I've got an 86 FZ 600 that needs a little work but runs great and is a BLAST to ride. The front fairings, and the headlight assembly were off and a single headlight wired on. Looking forward to picking...
