Ahh yes, the Mystical Unicorn FZ600.. I too had a 1986. OEM Red/White/Blue paint scheme in what looked like perfect condition. I owned mine for 1 summer.. any only 1!! I'll get some pics up for ya! I too also spent plenty of time and money on that girl. Mine had electrical gremlins, kept...

If I'm not mistaken, there were a couple companies out there that made link that changed the position and raised the upper shock mount.. If thats the case, all you need to do is remove that link and bolt the shock back into the stock mounts. Fz6r's are lowered in the same way. I just...

Welcome from Marshfield, WI! Then comes another question.. What will the DVM examiner make a stink over turn signals that arent really DOT approved? I guess it depends on the examiner and how knowledgable with laws and how picky they are.

Yeah, Im not too surprised there... Lol. I have a set of flush mount signals I could part with. What naked setup do you run? Also what part of WI are you from?

Going rate in the US is about $100+/hr at dealerships. I know some people arent that mechanically inclined, but an oil and battery change are certanly doable by just about anybody!! And for those who tell themselves, "Well, I'm just not skilled enough for something like that" : Grab a set of...

I opted for the Akrapovic exhaust. -Included everything needed for install, mounts, clamps fender hanger. I installed it with the stock rear fender. - Has a small cone to insert where the new exhaust meets the stock cat pipe, I suppose to keep up back pressure a bit. (I ran both with and...

I could also hear some tick from mine at about 16,000mi. I did a check and shim swap at 19,500. That hushed the tick. Most of my exh valve clearances were out of spec (wide).

skooter65, Do you have one of these from a part out?

Yepp, Thats the culprit. I didnt see it stuck up in there.. I'll have to take a better inspection and see if its up in there!! I got home from a 1,000 mile trip around the U.P. of Michigan and noticed that it was MIA. You'd swear it was a Harley, rattling parts and peices off!

It is a 2009 S2 Swing arm. Edit: I just looked it up on the part diagram and the guide has the same Part Numbers for all years FZ6

I was doing my normal chain lube and maint the other day... and my swing arm chain guard/guide is gone! (The guide the bolts to the front of the swing arm) Anyone have one they'd like to part with? Thanks, Scott (Paragon)

Well.. I'd check into it anyway. I just parted out a 'zuki GS500 engine and shipped quite a few parts across the pond. It didnt really seem to be that awefully expensive. Sure ended up being cheaper than buying new from the stealerships!

Now I know Townsend Scott and I already had this conversation on another thread.. But, I've been using the Honda Pro with "Moly". I'm currently at 24,000 mi on my oem chain. By our note comparisons it looked like the Honda Pro with Graphite lasts a little longer than Honda Pro with...

What he meant was that any grab assy from an '04-'09 will work. Just be sure that its not grab bars for an FZ6R which were also made in 2009 (and up). skooter65 might be the guy to hook you up with something

Wrong bike there bud.

I cant speak for the Pilot Power 3's. AFAIK, they are silimilar center tread compoud to the Pilot Power, but have some softer grippier compound on the sides of the tires. I'd assume that they wouldnt make the best touring tire..

Only rarely I run 87, Usually because its the only thing available sometimes when you show up to the pump. Otherwise its always ethanol free premium. Ive never noticed that its run better or worse or gotten better or worse fuel mileage. My only reason to run premium is that its the only fuel...

Lol, Thats what i was going for!!!

Do what i do when I got most places with my motorcycle and run a cable throught the jacket and lock that to the bike, then throw the helmet on the lock.. I like this guys get up with the round bars that look like they mount in place of the passenger seat, but that would be a little trickier...

In WI in my town we have magnetic pickup timed lights. An alunimum and plastic motorcycle just doesnt trigger them. We only have a couple intersection with those (infact only a couple traffic light controlled intersections total) so I usually just zig zag a street over to an intersection thats...
