Just checking if anyone has a stock master cylinder laying around after an upgrade or something. I think the master is bad on my FZ1 and I liked the FZ6 master setup better. Thanks

Disregard, please delete thread.

So I'm at ~30k miles and decided I shouldn't put off the valve check any longer and delved into it using n0other's awesome thread only to find that not one, not two but every one of my exhaust valves are tight: Cylinder 1: .18mm .18mm Cylinder 2: .20mm .20mm Cylinder 3: .23mm .23mm Cylinder...

After going through a few cigarette lighter chargers for my GPS I'm accepting that they can't handle the vibration and installing a hardwire kit. After searching a bit, it appears these units are always drawing power so I'd like to wire it to a switched power source. From the forum searches it...

Has anyone else got the Goodridge Shadow SS Front lines for their 07+? Just went to install mine after rebuilding my calipers and both lines are more than 6" too long using the stock routing. I have FZ1 bars so I figured they'd be an inch or two long but this is nuts. Tried every crazy route I...

Generally I run Michelins on a 2 rear to 1 front ratio but when I caught a nail in my new-ish PR2 rear right around the time I needed to replace the PP2CT front I decided to try something new. At $160 a set, the Motions were even cheaper than Shinkos but with the positive reviews that their...

Has anyone replaced their rear shock spring with one from Racetech? When I did my front springs there wasn't anything available but as of today I see they have them (SESP 70225 series - might technically be an Eibach). I've looked into the Hyperpro option, just not sure how well their...

I was dumb and drilled mine for a RAM mount....

Just installed my pod lights about a month ago - thanks to everyone for their howto's and discussion - it went very smoothly and I really like them. Just wanted to post up that superbrightleds.com has motorcycle flasher relays that work on the FZ for less than $9. LINK The flash rate really...

I picked up a Tomahawk T3 rear about a month and 1000 miles ago and just thought I'd throw a review up. I searched very hard to find a fair review on these tires - the net is littered with posts from people who've never used them saying they're crap and dangerous...all in all I only found 2...

I generally wear all the gear besides pants...always thought it was too much of a pain. I recently came across some knee/shin armor from Shift for around $13 so I figured it would be better than just jeans like I normally wear. MAN am I glad I got them - hit a 2" thick patch of loose gravel a...

I've read just about every thread out there (including DI's awesome how-to) but I'm having some problems dialing in the sag. The only other person I've seen around my weight that's installed these posted that they cut their spacers at 190mm - I weigh 10 lbs more than that person posted so I...

I purchased one of the ItalMoto belly pans a while ago and finally got around to making the brackets, painting and mounting it a couple weekends ago. All said and done, I'm extremely happy with it. I was a little apprehensive at first when I could only find one guy who had mounted one from...

Ran out of Dupont so I went to buy more and Lowe's is completely out of it....employee had no idea when they'd get more in but said the Liquid Wrench Multi-Purpose was basically the same. Can anyone comfirm whether I can use this or not? # Auto, home, marine and shop lubricant # Reduces...

I'm normally not the squidly type aside from a small wheelie now and then but last weekend I was riding with a guy on a VMax.....holy crap....those things not only bring out the hooligan in the rider but anyone around them too.... After watching him do countless burnouts I figured I'd go for it...

I wanted to wait a while for them to correct their mistake but its become blatantly obvious that's not going to happen so here goes: I ordered the full protection kit for my 08 mid-September. I realized the site didn't have any years listed for the FZ6 so I called and was assured they'd get...

...tell me whether or not there should be screws in holes on the inside of the dash cowling towards the top of the windscreen (see pic below)? Since there weren't any screws in there when I bought the bike I figured they were drain holes or something but since removing and reinstalling my...

Has anyone recently ordered a FZR6 fender eliminator off SBN and received it? I've seen a few posts from buyers who aren't getting any response after sending payment for one. Failing that, has anyone bought/used one of these fender eliminators? If so, do the stock signals mount up to it?

Hello all. I've been lurking on these and the SBN forums for a couple years drooling over everyone's fantastic bikes and I'm finally taking delivery of a Raven 08 next week. Just wanted to see if anyone else has seen a huge insurance rate difference between the pre-08 and the 08 FZ6? I was...
