I bought my 2004 fz6 about 2 years ago with 13k miles for $2800. Super clean, never down. A great price for my area. I'm up to 26k miles now and it still runs excellent with no problems. Just replaced the factory chain. The TPS did start acting up but it is fixed free at a Yamaha dealer due...

Finished the bike and took it for a road test: It definitely feels different than before. The fairings and windshield helped with wind a lot more than I realized! I might just sell this bike then now that its complete. As much as I like the naked look, I like riding with fairings.

Thanks for the info guys. I got a partial refund back on my dominator projectors due to the sellers description mistake about the H1 bulbs. I am being cheap so I'm going to stick with this housing and at some point try out some LEDs in it. Here's how it looks with halogens: (low beam)

Ah the mysterious VS02 kit I hear and see so much about but can never seem to find for sale. Any idea how much they cost?

I'm interested in the VS02 kit. How much is it?

Where did you get that headlight housing from? That's what I don't have; something to put the projectors in. I doubt they would fit in my dominator 2.0 lights.

Can you post a picture of your bike with these lights in it?

Thanks for the info. The only HID projectors I can find are just the lens part that you're supposed to install into your factory headlight housing, which I don't have anymore. I'm not sure any of them would fit the dominator projector housing I have. It only has a static shutter in the low beam...

Yeah I've done the 0mph drop too :cool:. Doesn't help being 5' 7" 130lbs.. Anyway the dumbest thing I think I've ever done with the bike was when I was going around with my grease gun looking for grease fittings to lube. It turns out brake bleeders are identical to grease fittings and without...

lawlberg: I've found HID kits for H1 on ebay for $30 so I'm thinking about HID instead of LED. My only concern is switching on the hi-beam because one side is low-beam and one side is high so the high side bulb is off until I turn on the high-beam. Is there a delay or warm-up period at all for...

Aw crap :banghead: they are actually H1 bulbs in this headlight. The auction said they were H4 bulbs....Ebay Case opened. There doesn't seem to be LEDs for H1 as powerful as the ones I was looking at for H4. Also this headlight works like the stock fz6 headlights in that one side is lo-beam and...

Carlos840: I most likely will try these bulbs out since my car takes H4 as well and if they don't work in the bike I will put them in the car. Not for a couple months though probably.. New tires are a higher priority right now. Nothing is in its final place right now. I was going to see about...

FinalImpact thanks I walked away with just some scratches on my leg. I was wearing my boots, leather jacket, gloves, helmet. FB400 they are halogen. I think they are H4 bulbs inside and I've had thoughts of installing these LEDs but I'm not sure there is enough space inside the housing for...

I wrecked my 2004 FZ6 a few months ago after hitting a dog. It wasn't too bad so I decided to fix it up and go with a naked look. I see a lot of FZ6N conversions that use the dominator headlight but have yet to see anyone else using these projectors. They look cool enough so I...

A good lubricating of the chain seems to have taken care of the noise I was getting. I'm going to try string-aligning now to see if that clears up excessive shaking over 95mph. (or is there just normally a lot of shaking at high speed?) But last year I took it to 160mph and yes it was not smooth...

The locking tab is folded all the way up, just out of view of the camera. I think what you're seeing is where it used to be folded up. I had that recall done last year. Must be from that. While lubing the chain, engine running, holding a cloth on the chain, I can feel a stiffer spot as it...

What is run-out? I think the chain is aligned (the adjustment on both sides of the wheel are in the same place) but the slack is inconsistent; tight in one place, loose in another.

I have an '04 FZ6 with about 23k miles. I bought it when it had 13k. Great bike. Love it. Recently I've been getting a sort of clicking noise, like how it would sound if the chain had a bad link, in 1st and 2nd gear when taking off. The chain looks fine though; all the x-rings look to be in...

I disconnected the linkage and tried working the rod by itself and I could feel the springs inside working as they should so then I knew the problem wasn't internal. Then I was looking around on here and other people have had the same problem and I lubricated all the moving parts on the linkage...

That's why I said unless he knew it was maintained. 35000 miles is plenty of miles for there to be a chance of poor maintenance. My first bike was a Katana with about 30k miles and I was very happy with it so I know you don't have to completely avoid bikes with that many miles. You just have to...
