Can't believe I'm just now finding this thread - I too bought this kit and installed it.
As mentioned, absolute trash; chinesium bolts in particular were super useful :rolleyes:
I may just rip it all out at this point - unfortunately I went with slim-line aftermarket handlebar controls so I...
I raced my 09 R1 for a while on Ohlins, the best way I can explain it is that the bike becomes almost telepathic - granted the chassis is different, but it sits planted in whatever line you're trying to set, and allows more modularity mid-line. The bike also gets "upset" a lot less by...
Hey no worries,
I finished rebuilding the bike after the tear down, threw in a fresh battery and fuel and she started up and ran like a top.
Haven't yet finished the frame weld process, we bought a business and found out we're pregnant so things have been proceeding at breakneck speed in...
I did realize that - I'm not worried about inspection here, they're more concerned with improper HID retrofits and open pipes.
Yeah I went ahead ordered the new sub-frame, should be here next Monday. That's an interesting idea about providing him with the sub as an additional functional...
All great information. Do you happen to know what the size of the Safety Torx bit is that I will need to break down the frame?
I called a couple of welders around the area for a quote. Travelling to my house would be $350-400. Breaking down the frame piece and bringing that to them - more like...
Probably - I happened to live about 30min away from the seller and messaged him almost immediately after it was posted.
Dug into it a little further - indeed the subframe is tweaked (floor is level, door is crooked)
Tearing it down further - I think I am going to have to pull the entire...
I had thought about banging the subframe back in place, but hadn't made much progress with my mallet and a halfhearted attempted. Replacement would surely be easier. Unfortunately, that half of the frame is the VIN-coded side, so I'd wind up replacing the whole thing.
Clean title, which is my...
I agree! Added new pics.
The bike does come with seat, exhaust, and a clean title.
Currently I am trying to figure out a solution to the frame issue. I took everything down last night, deleted the AIS system (always do that on all my bikes), did the airbox mod, and am changing the spark...
Hello all,
I wanted to introduce myself - I just picked up a wrecked 2006 FZ6 for $400 from a guy who was moving later that day.
It's been a loooong time since I rode. Back in college I used to run around on a yzf600r, and tracked a 600rr and r1 - very much looking forward to relearning and...
