    R6 / R6S forks

    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...

    Pulled the trigger on R6 forks - a few questions

    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...

    Question Regarding Fork Oil Change

    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.

    R6s Fork Conversion Complete - How much lower should my bike be?

    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...

    2009 R6S Forks - Upgrade?

    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...

    Fixing suspension for heavy rider on a budget

    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...

    tweaked forks

    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...

    Shopping for R6 forks

    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...
