shock

Please delete post. Solved.

Well I didn't crash land but somehow this little dragonfly landed under my seat and never left! He seems completely intact. Perhaps a tad dehydrated? What a strange place to fly into and die under the FZ6 seat. I was pulling the rear wheel for install of a new Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ after...

Buying a 2008 FZ6 to replace my dearly departed 2004. I know my R6 forks will transfer over, a few other questions: Is there any difference between the blue spot calipers I have now (from the R6) and the silver spot stockers on the S2? They seem identical to me. Will my shock swap over without...

Thought I'd share a little story about those who work on others homes. Long story short I was asked if I could help install a TV and cable box in another room of modeler home built in ~2000. When purchased by current owner 6 years ago a called was made to comcast to to install cable boxes, a...

I've peen poking around at entry-level upgraded shocks. Here are the options I've looked at for comparison: 1) Fixing stock: The absolute cheapest I've been able to get someone to quote me for revalving and servicing our stock shock is $300. Add in a spring swap from Racetech, and you're...

Was riding the other day, noticed the bike was way too bouncey. I pulled over put the bike on the center stand. The saw that the shaft came out of the lower part, not sure if it stripped or just unscrewed. I will be pulling the shock tomorrow to see if it is stripped or not. Has anybody had...

Well, I've found a new home for my FZ6 so I'm returning the bike to (mostly) stock and selling my Penske shock. I bought this shock new last summer after taking the FZ6 to California Superbike School. I had it sprung for a 175lb rider and said that I would do only a few track days a year, so...

Hello all, i bought beautiful used rear shock absorber, but i have a problem with disassemble the old one with my fz6 The COLLAR, part number 8 on the pictures won`t go out, out of the SWING ARM holes and it`s stuck inside. I wanted to know if someone encountered this issue before and...

One of the many projects I have going on for my '09 FZ6 is to make it a beast on the track. I just got in a set of R6 forks to do the swap. I'd like to do the rear shock relatively soon as well. This lead me to take a look at the Öhlins rear shock. When taking a look at the selector on their...

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...

Hey everyone i got another great performance part for the FZ6 for sale. The Ohlins rear shock is fully adjustable! SOLD!! the model is: YA543 S46HR1C1L Please see pics below:

Thanks to the work done by Hellgate, FinalImpact and DHoback, we know that it's possible to fit an R1 shock onto the FZ6. However, I'm still confused on exactly what I'd need. This is what I believe I need along with some questions: - 01-04 R1 shock - Aftermarket R1 shock preload adjuster...

Hi all, I had my local dealership install a Soupy's lowering link but I think they performed the install incorrectly. I say this because a few months and a few hundred miles later, the threads on the bottom of the rear shock stripped off and came free from the lower mount. The...

I'm finally getting around to installing the used YA 543 Ohlins that I picked up for my 2004 FZ6 a few months ago, and I was wondering if anyone had some good pictures of the reservoir mounted on their 2004-2006 FZ6? I'm changing the rear tire and since everything was out, I was able to swap...
