Bout 80 miles today not dead yet! Our Snap On guy has the calibration dial checker mounted on his truck and wouldn't care if I checked another brand. Most prob wouldn't!

Wow, what a mess I started! Sorry! Hey from a newbie stand point, just 40lbs is a lot! Bud helping me has years of experience and used to race. He said don't worry about it it's plenty tight, centrifugal force helps hold em on with the lock washers it' not going anywhere. I'm no weakling...

Really? That far gone huh? Well on the short slow ride home, as it was dark and wet, the feel was great! Much smoother and more responsive and other weird feelings in the bike seemed to go away! Money well spent and got to learn a lot too! Like saw a cush drive = never knew that was there!

Thanks for all the quality input and advice! I rode to my buddy's house tonight and the job it done! He guided me through and I did most of the work! Easy really! I didn't know how to adjust the chain. It was good to have a very experianced person there! He has a Snap On tourque wrench...

Nasty dirty! Bad PO! Good me for reading and learning to do this maintenance! I will keep my new set up clean.... any tips on that? Also still any input on removal and installation would be great as I don't have my parts yet!

32,XXX on an 05 FZ6 and from the dirty abused shape of it all I’d guess that the sprocket/chain setup is still factory parts! Have noticed a pulsing/clunking when holding at a steady RPM on a smooth road. A friend said the rear sprocket is in bad shape. I decided to do a 15 tooth up front...

Have sold nothing yet! Lower brackets are on ebay search "Yamaha FZ6 FZ 6 2005 Lower Fairing Panel Cowl Brackets Mount" PM about anything else, will ship anywhere as long as you cover the shipping!

I have an extra set but will need paint and are off an 05. look up the part number ron ayers and see it it will work. you could have em both for $20 plus shipping...

Still have all parts none sold! Belly pan brackets too, still available!

I was considering keeping the center stand and trying to put it on. Still have all other parts none sold yet, will post here when they are. What should the belly pan brackets go for?

Sunday 6/22/14 I tried crack for the first time! I rode him 166 miles and the weld still looks the same!

I bought an 05 FZ6 and the seller gave a bunch of extras, in rough shape in my opinion but still usable if you need em! Front faring and inside pieces, side faring pieces, 2 metal brackets that hold lower fairing, rear muffler plastic, not pictured center stand what i think is for the FZ6 and...

It cost me $50, might have been a little more but the welder is kinda my bud, so I fell like he did me a favor! "Yamaha should have done a recall" is what a bud of mine said, "they cast too thin and try to make stuff too light weight and it gets thin!" I'm gonna ride it and just keep an eye on it!

Well that's that!

What about the bearings under the handle bars? My friends rode my bike and said about the same thing and checked them, greased as they were good and tightened the nuts and it was all better!

Spoke with the owner of BREW Bikes LLC he said he will not weld it as I planned. He said if welded the aluminum in that area will go back to a temper of T-0 which will crack much faster. I suggested a torch silver solder to keep the heat down. He said that anything over 350 affects the...

bought new one, nevermind. post can be deleted!

I just bought an 05 FZ6 with 32k and there is a crack in almost the same spot! Owner said he never saw it before, which I find hard to believe! Got the bike a little cheaper though. It's a good idea to drill a small hole at the end of the crack to help deflect/disperse the spread. Gonna do...
