2 little things, a huge difference

[macem29]

finally got around to doing a few things to my bike:

Killernoodle's clutch slave lever mod
Chemiker's cable lubricator

my left arm was always killing me during riding season, I love the FZ6
but that cable clutch requires more effort than is acceptable IMO,
I understand it was designed to be an affordable- do anything- standard
motorcycle, so costs have to cut somewhere to make that happen

I installed killernoodle's lever kit, and at the same time lubed up the cables
on the bike with chemiker's cable lube kit, the ease of operation and increased
friction zone are substantial, a much bigger change than I had anticipated

what a difference, I would recommend both of these products to all owners

these guys are a real credit to the group, thanks for sharing your efforts guys

the only boot I recall handling was on the outer cable sheath at the
transmission end of the cable, I re-used it..is there another one?

bummer, yamaha prolly just sells it compete with the cable assembly...
I'd try a bike wrecker, go visit one with some tools and you may find
something usable for a few bucks, maybe free

The only bike junk yard by me is OD far...i called the yamaha dealership by me and they had no idea wat i was talking about! :spank: so i might just stop by the place n point to it n explain it to them in person

Something like these might work:

cv boot | eBay
