looking at picture 3.. you can drill 2 pieces of flat metal (that are a bit sturdy so as not to flex when tightening them) that are about 3 or 4 inch tall ( a body shop might have some scrap metal that you could use). drill both ends. one end inserts in the yoke where the original braket is...

Lawlberg. there are nuts on the back, and they are not welded. so you have to get a long nose plier or a small grip vice and work in the tiny space to hold the nuts solid. then either have a friend to untighten the bolts or try to do it with the other hand... it s not an easy task. i had to...

its nice to try new things, if you keep this bar, the speedo needs to be located in a better place. now it sits under the handlebar and does not look nice.

hi. welcome to this great forum i had to replace the whole footpeg assembly because when i had a fall the brackets that hold the footpeg in place broke also. so you would have to check what you have got broken, if its only the footpeg or the bracket as well. if the damage is very similar...

thanks for the compliments motojoe. You were the first to notice these guards and comment about how nice they look:thumbup:

Those guards are standard Yamaha warfare. they were available from the accessories list for the fz series. I dont know if they are manufacturing them any longer as i searched on the yamaha uk and did not find any fz 6 related items. they were not cheap ($250 for the set). i wasnt very keen on...

my 06 as it currently stands

to check the fairing stay. put the bike on centre stand and put the wheel straight ahead. look at the bike head on and if you see the fairing crooked, the fairing stay is bent. look at the mirror's tops if they are lopsided or straight. they are a sure give away if the fairing is straight or...

if the taillight is not broken,(in which case you would have to replace the whole assembly) its best to replace the bulb for a motorcycle spec one. the bulb has a central bridge that handles vibrations better and will not blow as easily as a normal bulb. normal bulbs work fine, just stock a bit...

yes definately. My first car was a renault clio from the first batch of 1990. it had an 1108cc ohv engine which barely made 50 bhp. the car was heavy for the engine and i was always flat out. from 0 to 100 you could have a nap, wake up and still would not have nudged the 100kmh (yes km). it had...

im sure its a nice ride marthy, but somehow i do not dig its looks, the lowslung headlight especially. does it have more top end than the fz 6? or is it more of a torque machine than screaming top end?

i am dumbstruck as to how much society is degenerating. Really sorry and pissed at the same time for this stupid act.

glad you like the fz6r bar. i did not find any discernable difference between the two bars (fz6r and fz6) but i seem to be the only one on the forum to not notice a difference maybe im insensitive or something. the tab on the control helps to lock it in place when twisting the throttle. the...

welcome. nice ride. exactly like mine was when i bought it ...bone stock just blue not red. enjoy the bike and the modding bug!

nice find yasko. yeah old school audio equipment have a fascination of their own, plus the good quality equipment is appreciating in value. old amps and tuners (top of the range ones) command fairly high prices nowadays- a testament to their build quality.

really stunning. rare to find such gems in this condition nowadays. most; if not all, would have been restored. Nice find

Just for your info Deep Emissions. today's tyres won t leave you longing for grip. they are all manufactured to very high standards, be it supersport or sportouring tyres. i think all renowned brands offer decent tyres for the bikes of today. even the skinny metzelers me 22 that i use on my...

congrats...how cute and congrats to your olimpic swimmer who won the medal! he sure trained:thumbup:

the four pot r6 calipers will not bolt straight on the 04 fz6 legs, the mounting points are further apart on the 4pots (100mm as opposed to 80mm or whereabouts of the sliding caliper of the 04). if you want to keep your fork legs you must fabricate some very strong brackets to which you attach...

i would also check for air in the fuel system. while this is highly unlikely, because normally the bike would stall when in uphill on downhill. air could be entering if you find rubbed down pipes, the continiuos friction when pipes rub with each other or another hard object will thin the rubber...
