You are correct and I did check the wheels and bearings, frame and rebuilt the brakes and fork, but I just didn't see this one- and to be honest it hadn't even crossed my mind to specifically check for this- PO claimed he'd recently fit a new chain kit- sprockets looked 15-20% worn at most, the...

Thanks! Who know how long I've been riding it this way...but I'm glad it held till now regardless. That's a risk you take when you buy used and/or someone else does "repairs" on your stuff... I'll buy and fit a rivet style master link (already have a good quality tool), and with that...

Today I finally had some bike time, and took a 2 hour ride. Tightened the CCT about 1/8 turn more and now the clicking noise seems much reduced. There is still some noise (maybe the "yamatick"?) but I'll just run it as is. The valve clearances were checked multiple times so they can't be bad...

With the key rotated to "OFF" check the continuity of all the connectors from the brake light to the battery ground (one connector at a time).

I've had the same issue a few times, so I understand your frustration. When you normally use the brakes, you only use a part of the MC cylinder's stroke. The other part is not used and might get gunk and oxidation on it. Now you use the full stroke of that piston while trying to bleed the...

Preload is at a few clicks- haven't checked the rear sag but I think it's close. Tire pressure used to be 2.2 front 2.4-2.5 rear (for riding with my GF), and the bike used to be stable. Now I have it 2.2 all around as I'll be riding this bike solo for a while (GF only has summer gear). The guy...

Managed to take a longer ride today of around 100 km. At first, it seemed that the clicking sound was almost gone. Then, after 20-30 km it seemed to come back. Did the CCT get looser, or is my mind playing tricks on me? Will find the answer to that tomorrow, when I'll recheck the CCT. After...

Maybe yours was a revised part and worked better (as you got the S2 model) but mine was too tight, stretched the chain and wore down the guide, and definitely worked by increasing the pressure in large leaps amounting to 2 or more full turns on the manual CCT (as it was visible by the scoring on...

Checked the CCT again- this time on a cold engine (last time due to it being hot made it feel quite tight) and to my surprise it actually tightened about 1.5 turns more that how I left it when I rebuilt the engine! It doesn't seem as if it loosened it's self, so where did this extra slack (about...

Bike was originally the naked version, with a single headlight. Yes, (also) swapped the transmission with one from a lower mileage bike. Unless something is wrong, the only possible sources of that metallic dust would be the particles from the cylinders which were deglazed by hand with...

You're welcome! With metric micrometers only the 0.001mm ones have the additional lines parallel to the shaft (at least as far as I've seen so far). Mines are 0.01mm so you only have what's in the picture. Don't know the technical name for the micrometer parts but let's say that there's the...

Always on is also how mine used to work, now it works as "sometimes on"...

The fan doesn't seem to touch anything, but I'll redo the filming with my dslr - this phone seems to have the worst mic I've ever had on a phone... One thing I've noticed today was the low beam coming on at times, so something between the relay and the bulb is getting open circuit... I put...

Here you go- measured at 3 different points. The micrometer is in mm

Which gasket thickness do you need? The OEM FZ6 one?

Thank you for contributing! Solved the fan issue- the rubber heat shield (which might have moved when I installed the battery tray) was touching on the fan, making it barely spin. The angle and low light made it very hard to see, and though it spun by hand, that slight rubbing was enough to...

Can you post some pics of the ignition lock? Most likely you could open up the lock housing and find something to solder to... Otherwise, cheapest option will be getting a USA ECU (they run with no immobilizer).

Yes, the initial issues now seem to be fixed. Can't tell you if the fan was running when it got to max temp, because right when I parked I had to answer the phone and by the time I checked again it was down to 3 lines. Forgot at what point it used to kick in the fan but found some older posts...

Thanks! After starting the engine the high beam does work (by turning it on from the "regular" button), but the low beam still doesn't. Might be the bulb, or might be the burnt connector. Does anyone know if the rubber booth is detachable from the connector? Today I installed and torqued the...

Managed to: install and torque the sprocket nut and cover, adjust the chain, torque the fork bolts. Plate lights: it's the actual light that's not working (they likely have their internals oxidized). I should have a new one... somewhere. Front turn signals- it turns out that apart from the...
