    GPI Radiator FS

    I have a used GPI radiator for sale that is in decent condition. Used it for about 200 miles. The only problem I had was that the filling flange is slightly thinner than normal so you have to bend the cap to get it to seal properly. Also, the threaded fitting for the overflow line is a bit large...

    Will/Wont Forks parts interchange FZ/R6

    I get PMs wanting details about fork stuff, so while I have these things here, I gathered the following. In short, there is nothing from the R6 03-04 (R6S 06-09) standard fork that fits the FZ6. The caps have a different pitch thread, the springs are 250 mm R6 vs 350 FZ. That's not to say...

    Gas Cap

    During my last couple of fill ups I've noticed water puddled around the neck of the gas tank filler opening. Enough that if I'm not careful it spills into the tank. No isssues yet, but I suspect it will lead to a problem before long. I've been adding a little 'dry gas' to the petro to help...
