frame

Looking to know if there is a difference from the 04-06 to the 07 08 frames. It seems they carry different part numbers. Im looking to purchase a frame on ebay for my 08 Fz6 and swap all of my parts swing arm suspension breaks everything onto that frame. most of them are 05 or 06 but i cant...

My cousin is selling a 2005 FZ6 and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, after doing some research, it looks like they are prone to frame cracks. How common is this problem? Where should I be looking to see if the frame is cracked? I like the bike a lot but the thought of a cracked frame is pretty...

I have an additional rear frame assembly I'd like to get rid of. This was on my bike when I bought it, and does not have passenger footpegs. The entire footpeg mount was removed and ground smooth, then painted black by the bike's original owner. It looks very sleek, especially with the rear seat...

So the other morning on my way to work I'm getting ready to make a left turn off of a one way street. I had an suv in front of me so I couldn't see anything ahead. The suv and the the car ahead of it go through the turn. The pedestrian crosswalk had the flashing hand with about ten seconds on...

Sold! (01-17-2016) Finally had the time to put this up for sale! Frame is in excellent condition with very few signs of wear. Never Down, No Scuffs; I would suspect that you would have a difficult time finding another used frame in this good of condition.Frame will come with a Clean/Clear Title...

Hi all, Have had my 06 Fz6 for a few years now, this morning I was leaving for work and made sure to drop my bike in the driveway in slow motion, it was more like laying it down for a nap gently (using my right leg as a pillow, I might add). It has frame sliders on, which it rested on nicely...

Some of you may remember, I got hit by a guy turning into a Walmart parking lot. His insurance his been running me around saying it was half my fault so they don't have to pay. Good news is the other driver was found guilty of careless driving for trying to make a u turn in a busy...

I had posted in another thread that I went down. Now I need to get her all healed up. When I went down it was on the right side and the frame slider took most of the abuse. Three things though need attention: 1) I leaked out some coolant and now she is running hot. Am I ok to just replace...

Hey all, just thought I'd give myself an introduction and post up a couple pictures of my FZ6. I bought it completely stock in April of 2014 with 12k on it and as of tonight it has 23k. I have done only a couple of mods as of right now; integrated LED brake light, custom fender eliminator, and a...

I'm alright just some bruises and a sore neck but my icon back and chest protector, hjc is-17 helmet definitely helped. I'm at a light behind a Jeep and a few other cars. We both turn into Walmart after a green light(left turn). the walmart parking lot is set up so right when you turn in...

So 3 years back I purchased a used givi fz351 toprack on the forum. As with most of the used topracks it didn't didn't come with the expansion nuts that go in the rear tubular frame. I came up with a solution at the time that was OK, but I always wanted something better; it was snug, but not...

Hey guys, After a long recovery period I finally decided to see if I can still do something with my crashed bike. My main concern is the fact that the frame snapped in the fork area and I have no idea if it can be repaired or if it's even worth trying to do something. I can not provide a...

I have a 2005 FZ6 that I have had to do some very minor repairs on (the frame had some minor road rash). I've been looking and looking for a spray paint to match. I read about TufuJunky87's repair to his FZ. I tried out the Dupli-Color's Aluminum Engine Enamel on a test piece (a broken...

Bought myself some cheap old panniers but couldn't bear the meccano set that came with them as a mounting kit, so I decided to make my own. The idea was for it not to look too hideous when the panniers are off, and for the frame to be easy to remove. It mounts on 4 bolts, with only 2 new holes...

Specifically the frame area where the link attaches to the frame and drops towards the end of the Header. I need to adapt an S1 header to an S2 frame. I was curious if the frame is the same? Few share the "dirty side" of the beast... 08 US, S2 looks like so: Does an S1 have this...

Hello, Today I figured how to do install something so simple.[emoji3] I bought frame sliders (no cut) for my 2008 fz6. It took me all of 15 min. Below are pictures showing step by step how I did mine. New bee fun

Hi! I am going to buy Motovation frame sliders. What do you think about any other sliders to protect FZ6? Are there any sliders apart from frame sliders worth thinking about?

So a while back ago my top gasket starting leaning and engine oil got onto the frame. As a result, there is some staining on the aluminium frame now. Beyond being oily, it seems to have etched and stained the frame and the engine covers. Just wondering if you guys know how to clean it up...

Hi all, I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong thread, didn't really know where else to put it ;0) Anyway, I'm looking for a little DIY help please. I store my beloved FZ6 in my garage, but I have to ramp it up over a proud 20cm threshold on my uPVC door & it can be a real PITA...
