[PARTING OUT] ENGINE READY! Zealot's Official, Unofficial Wreck Parts Thread Still got some stuff left. Comon, boys! Everything here is coming from my Black 2008 FZ6 S2 with 22,000km on it. Everything that I'm selling is in excellent and working condition save for a specific few with minor...

A couple months ago I installed a Penske 8983. I didn't have a friend around to help me set the sag, so I fiddled with the compression and rebound adjusters and found what I thought was about right, though the bike still threw me off the seat on heavy bumps. I didn't want to keep dialing in...

Not that I'm looking to sell the Hot Raven Chick but the question goes out, what would you pay for her as is? Share your thoughts! Let me say that she will either leave us as a crash victim or be sold as is. I'm not into taking it all apart! With some level of certainty, I'm sure some wise...

Hi there, by any chance, does anyone try 2004-2005 GSXR 6090's rear shocks fit our FZ6 S1 or S2? As I saw someone purchased a bike with GSXR front forks, I was wondering the rears might be a fit..!

I will be installing new sprockets and chain soon. Do I have to get the rear wheel balanced with the new sprocket?:don'tknow:

Hello guys, Several months ago I had a crash with my bike, and I had to repair most of its plastic parts - huge scratches on the mask and the right light, broken side spoiler under the seat, scratched tank and broken rear grab handle. Most of my bike is already fixed and looking like brand...

I'm currently greasing the swingarm bearings and changing chain/sprockets and have encountered a couple of snags. Firstly I intended to remove the rear suspension unit and grease up the pivot points however I cannot remove the sleeve from the lower mounting point in the swingarm itself, it's...

Rear caliper/brake issue AFTER SWING ARM SWAP Hey guys! So, I recently updated my 04' with an 07' swinger. Everything went great -- until I reassembled my rear brakes. My rear brake is dragging. When the bike is on the center stand I am lucky to get 1/2 turn. I have already disassembled the...

So hello everyone. I'm new here and am looking into lowing my bike. I was wondering if anyone here has used any of the front drop in progressive sping kits from the United Kingdom and the rear spring change out kit. Looking at a 30mm drop in kit, front and back. Has good reviews but wanted to...

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...

Hey guys! First time on this forum and digging for some answers. Hopefully someone can lay some knowledge on me. Situation: Got new tires (Michelin P4s) mounted on my wheels and after getting them put back on my bike, have a sinking suspicion I mixed up the front and rear spacers. Does...

The bike started leaning on my left once I leave the handlebar (even with old tire) and I got my new M-PR4 for rear with 36-38 psi and after the tire is balanced, there are much more vibrations compared to previous tire when I remove my hands off of the handlebar. I'll add some air in the front...

Somehow I managed to crack the rear wheel on my 2006 fz6. The rear wheel's part number is 5SL Yamaha Y-4. I have found a used rear wheel off of a 2005 fz6, part number 5SL Yamaha Y-2. They look the same and have the same rear tire size. Will the 2005 rear wheel fit the 2006? Guys, I really...

I would like to get some different signals. I like the look of flush mounts on the front, but want some that are visible both front and side. I like the Weston units, but they aren't made anymore, and $100 was more than I want to spend. I like the looks of the new r1 signals on the rear, if I...

It looks like until I will get new track bike (after my adventures described in track section :) ) I will have to ride FZ6 on track. I've put slicks on it, but that means I can't use it on a street :/ Any one want to sell front and/or rear wheels ?

Unfortunately, it's time to sell. I will miss. She handles great, and she is FAST! I never had problems keeping up with my buddy on his 2001 R1. And could pass my buddy with his 2002 GSXR-6. 2009 Yamaha FZ6 Single owner 15K miles Couple minor cosmetic flaws, nothing major. Runs and drives like...

I use my FZ6 for moto gymkhana but the rear brake is causing me a real headache. It gets used a lot and gets very hot so I have fitted dot5 fluid, braided hose, EBC HH pads and a heat sink to the top of the caliper to soak some of the heat away. After only a couple of minutes the brake starts...

The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 I put on the bike approx 2Yrs ago has run over 10K miles and I think it is time to change them. It has a bit of tread left(especially the rear), but I want to replace the tires at the same time and the front ones have a weird profile on them now. So, I wanted to checkin...

I was wondering, for the fZ6, does the rear wheel have to be removed, or loosened in order to swap out the rear brake pads?

Hi thought it was about time i joined the group. I have an 07 fz6 that iv had since June last year. I bought it after selling my fz750 . love the bike. Keeps me happy and keeps up with my mates. Iv done a trackday at Caldwell park where it did well and am doing another tomorrow infact at teeside...
