So I finally got my R6 forks installed, and I have parts left over for another full set. (Long story short, I had some bad luck buying forks online). The parts I have for sale I know are good, I'm a mechanical engineer and checked the inner tubes on V-blocks with an indicator in my works...
So I saw a set of forks from an '03 R6 come up locally and nabbed them. $280 for the forks, calipers and axle, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. I have a couple questions for people who have done this:
1) Brake lines: Did you go with stock length, or get them a bit longer? I'll be...
I'm going to be changing my fork oil this weekend. Is it worth while to change my fork seals as well since I will have the forks off the bike? They are not currently leaking and I have about 13,000 miles on my bike.
Here is an album of the bike reassembled, torqued down, test ridden, etc.
I feel like this mod significantly lowered my front end appearance-wise, but riding still feels comfortable (actually, I'd say significantly improved, though that is probably a biased statement due to the fact that I...
Hey Y'all,
I bought a nice pair of used R6 forks for my 07 FZ6 and I'm starting the mod.
I have very limited mechanic/mod experience (and by limited I mean none), so I was hoping for a few pointers.I know there are a few posts about it here, and I'm using them, but I just wanted so fresh...
Hey guys looking to sell some parts I have off of a 2009 fz6. I Have the front fairing with the mount. It is missing some screws to hold it together so you would need those. It comes with the windshield and mirrors I believe I have some of the bolts for the windscreen. it has a glued crack in it...
In short: My FZ6 has leaky fork seals. Have a friend who recently bought a 2009 Yamaha R6S, who plans to replace his front with R1 forks. SO his R6S forks may be available, however one of them is leaking too.
Would the R6S forks be an upgrade over stock 2004 FZ6 forks? They're both...
Hi all, newbie to these forums. Had my 2004 FZ6 for a couple months. I love the bike, but I weigh about 240 lbs and the nosedive on braking actually feels dangerous. Doing something to the forks is super high priority, because surprise stoppies suck.
1) For those who have done the R6 fork...
I finally did the R6 fork conversion mod and am absolutely LOVING it. So now I have my stock goodies up for sale.

Contact me for shipping prices.
The left fork was starting to leak some oil before I did the swap. I...
Found this on another forum and thought it might be helpful for others with as much as people talk about swapping forks.

Had a minor get off this morning and my front forks are bent. I would like to just replace the fork tubes themselves to save money, but if anyone has as extra set of complete front forks laying around, I would gladly take those too!

So, bike got knocked over on its right side, yesterday evening. No major damage as there was no forward motion, just got dumped on its side. Only thing that happened is the forks got tweaked so the while rolling straight, the bars were angled left. Stuck the tire against a building, rubber only...
Hi guys,
I recently acquired a 2007 Yamaha Fazer FZ6 S2 with 89,000km/ 55600miles on it but it had unknown service history as I bought it from a bike shop. It is my first time owning a Fazer, coming from a Triumph Street Triple R. It seemed like a legitimate deal as the outlook was excellent and...
Today i have serviced my rear wheel,
inspected bearings, spacers, etc., cleaned, lubed it, and so on...
And when i took of the rear wheel i have noticed two strange bends on both sides on the inside of my rear swing arms.
Is it supposed to be like on the pictures ?
Is it a factory thing or a...
I'm planning to do the R6 fork mod so I've been checking out ebay and CL for parts. The complete assemblies in good shape are expensive @ $400+. There are a few that are bent which I would say are garbage, and then there are a few that look ok, but have leaks. I've read that seals are...
SOLD
