This prob doesnt help much but I bought a standard exhaust on Ebay which had been modified already - it had been opened up and the baffles removed and then re-welded - looks like quite a neat job and it sounds nice - not too loud but definately better than ones I listened to on you tube with the...

Thats a shame! reading it again it does say it replaces existing display! oh well looks like i've only wasted a few quid at least! Lee

I was browsing this afternoon while I was meant to be working and I came across this cheap gear indicator £4.48 shipped from Hong Kong - I wouldnt have minded a gear indicator but not enough to pay £60 for so this has got to be worth a go!! I'll keep you posted once it arrives and let you know...

Re: Anodization Well received levers - 6 days from HK to UK very suprised to find parcel at the weekend! Fitted no filing needed fit perfectly - i've never used ASV or Pazzo levers so dont have any comparison but can say they are much nicer than the standard ones - hopefully as I got silver...

No ideas? Lee

Hello from the UK... Sorry to dig up an old post but I wondered if anyone could expand on tightening lower tree on FZ6? I have been searching archives to work out what is causing slight clonk through bars when pulling up sharp (I dont really feel until quite slow and release the brake a...

Re: Anodization Sorry to dig up this thread again - just ordered another set of cheap levers from ebay - very cheap so will see how they stand up when they arrive... got the silver/black adjusters (shorter version) I'll let you all know once they arrive - they were only £33.70 inc postage so...

First bike was 1989 CBR600 - good bike to learn on then 1995 FZR600R Foxeye - nice step up from CBR from there 1998 TL1000R in bright yellow - loved this bike had nice loud cans and racked up 20k using it for commuting and also a tour to Monaco GP and around south of France (had it on...

I had these ones fitted a few months ago as mine were rusted out completely (30k miles in UK all weathers) Seem fine to me so far and like you say much cheaper than other bearings (quick delivery too if I remember rightly) Lee

I managed to briefly show 144MPH on clocks on 2005 FZ6N while following a Scooby WRX on dual carriageway... prob only about 130MPH real speed though...

i've got an 05 with 31k miles on it - runs fine - bought in December with 24k and have changed fork oil, engine oil and filter, HH brake pads all round and head bearing (tapered) plus adjusted TPS as this was installed incorrectly before I bought bike (was getting 28MPG UK Gallons) Have had no...

I changed my fork oil a few weeks ago to 15w - i'm 6ft 2 and 90kg so needed heavier oil as got way too much dive under braking This has made a lot of difference although much of that would prob be due to the old grey goo that I took out as much as the nice new heavier oil. Was well worth...

I recently changed my fork oil to 15w which made a big difference - could also have been partly due to the old oil I took out looking like grey watery goo... I've never taken forks out before and it only took me about an hour all in (on FZ6N) well worth doing I think Lee

Thanks for your responses - I changed plugs last night and also reset the ECU as suggested by disconnecting the battery - the ones I took out were CR9E not CR9EK plugs and were quite dark - I put in new CR9EIK Iridiums but didnt get a chance to ride until this morning and its loads better -...

Afternoon! I have been looking at this forum daily since I got my FZ6 in November but have only had need to post a couple of times… I have an annoying problem with my UK 2005 FZ6-N (bought with 24K miles and has now got just over 30k miles on it) that seems to have started overnight…. It...

Thanks I didnt think i was starting to think i was imagining that it ran better when 2 bars showing... So is this normal that it just wont get up to temperature at normal speeds? If i get stuck at lights or slow moving traffic it will get up to 2 bars but as soon as speed increases over...

Afternoon - first post for me - been using forum for archives and generally keeping an eye on things but not had need to post until now... I know this is old post but I was wondering if the bike isnt at operating temp until 2 bars are lit (on S1 FZ6) then is the bike running rich the whole...
