If you can find a Top Sellerie seat reasonably priced snatch it up. I can vouch for them being very comfortable. So have several other people of fairly different builds and weights than myself. I suffered from unintended shifting on the stock seat, and despite trying to readjust, would wind up...

Spring the bike to your weight to get the correct sag (if necessary, which for me at 160lbs it wasn't). They do specify a fork oil weight but I don't remember what off hand. No changes are necessary, though some folks will want to trim their spacer depending on where their sag ends up. You're...

Has anyone here tried the Ricor Intiminators in their FZ6? I've got a set in my Bonneville and they made a noticeable difference in brake dive and front end feel (brake dive especially). Kinda' curious how they compare, since they have different design philosophies to try and accomplish the same...

I actually just picked up a few weeks ago. Does seem like a fine machine, but a lot different from the FZ6 I've come to love.

If you're just wanting a color change, and none of your bodywork is damaged, have you considered having your tank and plastics painted? Probably not much more cost wise than a good set of plastics and different color tank.

Year or so now. Picked it up for winter commuting and to dip my toe into the sport touring waters (something my Bonneville hasn't complained about doing but I have). If Yamaha ever brings the Tracer 700 to the states I could see myself ditching the FZ6 for that. Or possibly the Triumph Tiger...

Honda CT-90/Trail 90. Too much fun and I couldn't kill it.

PM inbound.

Any idea on shipping to the states for the bar risers?

PJ1 Blue label. In a conversation with a very knowledgeable guy from JT Chains and Sprockets he recommended it when I asked what he thought worked well to keep the rollers lubricated. Think he gave mentioned some others but PJ1 is the one I remembered when I happened to be at the shop the next...

Yeah, I've been watching his vids. If I'm about to work on my bike and do something I haven't yet or feel there's model specific information I don't yet possess, I check his vids first to see if he's covered it, because his thoroughness and solid presentation. Like you I've found a few things...

Just replaced the failed R/R with a used OEM one from a member here. Failed one (left) was definitely aftermarket. Bike seems to be charging properly now.

Just rechecked them and I'm getting between 25 and 26 volts at idle on each leg, and 70 to 80 volts at 5,000 rpm. Maybe I had it set to DC on the multimeter the first go around.

I was able to confirm the correct turn signal wiring routing and colors when I was working on it, but thanks. Since it's not the original stator and I'm guessing not OEM (the leads coming off the stator are white and I've seen that supposedly the OEM ones are yellow), it may just not put out...

Stator checked out alright. Each leg was around 12v at idle and 40v at 5k rpm. None of the legs had continuity to ground. Further inspection of the harness found no issues. I used brake cleaner and then deoxit on the R/R connectors just for good measure, and to make sure none of the connectors...

I'm interested in the following: Seat if not already claimed. The Regulator/Rectifier if it's OEM and you can confirm it's not faulted with a bench test. Those frame sliders may also be of interest. And the possibly the rear fender/tail piece/tag mount with the tag light and turn signals. Let...

The wiring connector to the R/R actually looks fine, other than the schmoo that leaked into and stained the one connector. Neither the plastic or wires have any signs of being overheated, so I think I'm safe there but a further inspection will be conducted. Can the bike be ran with the stator...

Got a check engine light that would could come on then go away for a bit before returning the other evening while riding around with a pillion. Checked it and the dash shows Fault code 46 = Power Supply to the FI system relay is not normal. Battery was showing 11 volts when I checked it (not...

Yeah the spring clips were all removed prior to that picture so everything could get cleaned.
