My last 2 mods were R6 forks and an S2 swingarm, so I have some parts I won't be needing.
1 - S1 swingarm, $100. Includes front pivot, wheel axle, rubber chain guide, adjusters and end caps. Normal wear and tear, with the exception of small scratched area on top left (sprocket side)...
Hello from Poland.
Few days ago I bought Fz6 from 2005, but due to my height I have to do some lowering.
I found lowering link which is replacement of ending of rear fork.
Because now I can't remove rear shock from bike I am asking if someone have dimensions of this part? For now I...
So my FZ has had leaking fork seals for over a year. I don't ride it much so I don't want to put in any money on a bike that isn't even worth $1,000. But today, I was riding and my steering locked up. I could not press or turn the handlebars to the right. Could it be from no fork oil on one...
I am going to be replacing my fork seals but don't have a digital caliper to measure them with so I can buy the correct seal driver. Does anyone know the outside diameter of the fork tubes? Shop here wants 220 to do it and I can buy the driver and OEM seals for under 100. Bike is 06 FZ6 (blue W/...
A fork rebuild question if I may gents...?
I decided to change the seals on my forks and when I took them apart I noticed that the top bush on each fork is different and was wondering if I should be concerned....?
hi guys, I noticed the other day whilst cleaning my bike that the fork dust seal seems to be perishing, although there doesnt seem to be any oil leakage, so after a little research I decided to order the main seal and the dust seal and am gunna replace them on both forks.
My question is what...
Hello guys,
A couple of years ago I've bought a 2008 FZ6 N with around 27.000 km / 16872 miles and now I've got around 33 k km. Pretty soon after I bought the bike I stared hearing strange sounds coming from the front end. I've asked a couple of guys from a local garage to take a look at it...
Extra spring in left fork
Quick question, doing my fork seals and tore both sides apart to clean. While doing so, came across the fact that there is an extra little spring on the bottom out rod in the left fork but not the right. Is this suppose to be this way or did someone forget to put all...
Want to replace the front fork oil around March or April 2018...
Of some strange reason I have never done this before (just let a local shop do it).
In the FZ6 service manual I can't seem to find the part where they explain how to drain the front fork oil without disassembling the whole...
Hey folks, for those of you who switched out their fork springs, did anyone get a .95kg weight? and how does it feel?
I'm 100 kg, 6ft2. The reason I ask the question is the Dublin suspension specialists suggested I go for a .90kg spring to compensate for Irish and UK roads compared to the...
Greetings.
2007 FZ6, stock front end.
I tore down my front forks to replace the seals and and noticed that the large washer (#12 in Service manual diagram on page 4-65; or "upper cover guide" part number 4TX-23115-00-00) of one side is different than the other. I'm pretty sure they ought...
Okay guys I think one of my fork seals is leaking here's a few pictures of what I've got I don't know that I have the skills to replace these so I was thinking of having it done by a shop. Have any of you guys had it done at a shop and if so how much did it run?
43 mm fork seal driver. I bought it earlier this year and used it twice and I doubt I'll need to use it again. It's in like-new condition. I'll throw in a 43mm bullet style fork seal installation tool if you buy it.
$30 via paypal. Includes shipping to the lower 48.
I'll take a picture...
I rebuilt my forks mostly to put stiffer springs in. I installed 1kg racetech springs. I used all balls fork seals and dust seals. Everything was spotlessly clean before being assembled. I pressed the seals in with an appropriately sized fork seal installation tool. I filled the forks carefully...
Hello,
After pondering for some time about getting a naked bike and fitting it with the fully adjustable suspension from a sports bike, or buying a sports bike and turning it naked, I came across a good deal on a 2004 fz6n and 3 days later it's sitting in my yard :)
Current status of the bike...
Hello,
I changed the seals of my R6 forks last week, here is a write up for R6 modded Fz6 lovers:
I've bought Allballs fork seals and dust seals for $25
Then i uninstalled front wheel, fender and brakes to take out forks. (Later i painted the fender, i'll write it in an other thread)
I...
Hello everyone. I've been lurking for awhile and wanted to get feedback on my plans for my bike. I bought a 2007 a few months ago and have already put 4000 miles on the clock. Here's an old ad with some pictures...
