no, it was sold

You can drill the heads off the bolts. The switch will then slide off. Remove what's left of the bolts with a vise grip(they'll be two long studs left). For re-installation, you can either use SS allen head bolts with locktite or buy the original Yamaha bolts that will shear off when it reaches...

yes, I can do it

yes, I still have it

this is not the 'top end' shock STG advertised. the picture on the site is not correct. The S46er1 shock they are selling is the cheapest Ohlins street shock for fz6 as on the picture, so I guess it's the same one you see for $518 somewhere else.

the MPH switches to KM/H if you press and hold both buttons for a couple of seconds, so it's not a problem. I guess the RPM difference might be a bigger issue to have them shown correctly. I didn't realize that all models despite they look the same have different limits. have just checked my...

watch this video. it is in Russian, but the guy shows step by step what he does so you will get the idea what goes where. european naked version has two more treaded holes on the bottom of the triple tree clamp. you will need to drill and tread them to screw on the upper side of the mounting...

https://www.leovince.com/en-us/product/1811-3078-lv-one-stainless-steel-yamaha-fz6-fazer-s2-abs-2007-2011 LeoVince still produce some FZ6 pipes. I do not know if there is a difference between ABS/non ABS versions. I guess not, but you can contact them and ask. They have for 04-06 years too.
