    Decided to Wear my Birthday Suit

    I picked up an 05 FZ6 for $700 with no front fairings and a crap ton of zip ties holding the headlight. Runs, shifts into all gears, needs a few things here and there, but overall not too bad. My goal is to keep the cost down on this project and daily this thing for a while. With that being said...

    where to purchase a left front turn signal with wires?

    I have been looking at Partzilla and it appears as though the housing is available but not the wire which is what I need. I purchased a 2006 FZ6 for my son that was dropped at some point by a previous owner. They thought is was a relay problem. I checked and by process of elimination the left...

    Naked/Streetfighter or Front Faired for FE, Comfort, and Cost

    I have hunted around a bit and I have a few questions about going naked. The bike I picked up does not have any of the original fairings as it has been dropped a few times, however, I am not sold on going naked. This is going to be my new commuter bike (currently on an old Suzuki "Dual...

    I just picked up an 05 FZ6 that will replace my current daily (1985 SP600). I am going for fuel economy and general commuting stuff so I am not too worried about aesthetics and such.

    Front brake caliper loose after install

    Took apart one of my front brake calipers thinking I needed to replace pad (still a lot of room left) however when putting it back together felt a little loose. Didn't think anything much (thought after riding it would tighten up...I know I am dumb) but noticed brakes were choppy. So...

    How the hell do you exactly check the front brake pad?

    Conceptionally, I understand I am supposed to look at the wear indicator and see if it is flushed, but either looking at it from the front or the rear, with it turned in either direction and even lying down with a light I just can't for the life of me tell how worn it is. Which is especially...

    S2 Front Wheel "Free Spin" video

    I've posted several times about the S2's front brake seals, over time, dragging. (S1's not so much as they have half as many pistons) This (IME) is due to rubber hardening up, grit, grime, seals don't allow the FOUR pistons (each disc) to retract. The below video was taken today, with...

    crash at braking [track] ... again

    the common mistake in winter riding is trying to make a top chrono at 3°C. Even the 5 lap warm up was not sufficient to have tires at the right temperature. I blocked the front wheel just before starting my first fast lap. hopefully, rider in front was far enough not to get in the bike...

    Replacing fork oil

    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...
