Just sold my Fazer 1000 and already miss not having a bike. Took an hour..
Found a 2008 ABS FZ6 and went for a look. All okay I thought apart from the header clamps and nuts were falling apart! I know that part of the engine gets all the road crap, but this was well on the way to falling apart. Any attempt to undue any of the nuts would have resulted in a snapped stud. Poor bloke was not aware of how bad they were. Traveled 80 miles to see it so thought I would have a ride on it since the owner offered. Gutless! I was expecting a nice crisp acceleration but it was slower than my old KLE500. Now when I did a check on the bike it came back as having 79bhp. I thought these were 98?? Was a little puzzled.

Hi All,
Has anybody fitted one of these? I had a Datatool one on my 600 and was a pain to set up and quite slow to register and got confused quite a bit!


Found this on Fleebay and would like thoughts please!

Hi all,
I know it's been covered many many times about how utter crap these standard forks are. I have not ridden her much due to the choppy ride so decided to experiment with a set of 2009 FZ6 forks I got hold of. The stanchions on both FZS1000 and FZ6 are 43mm diameter, but the FZ6 forks don't use any kind of adjustment. Here's what I have managed to do;
I used FZS1000 bottoms, FZ6 stanchions, FZ6 damper rods including cups. The only issue was the high speed compression valve protrudes on one side where the damper cup needs to sit flush. I made a 21mm x 9mm spacer with M10 hole so cup can sit flush. I had to use 60mm long allen bolts instead of the standard ones but all bolted down securely.  I used FZS1000 springs, FZ6 tubes and washers and FZ6 tops. Left 140mm air gap with no spring and stanchion compressed.
The sag is same as original fork but they feel like normal suspension.
Not been able to test ride yet  but all is looking promising!

Just bought some progressive springs from Hyperpro and its made a massive difference. Comes with all recommended settings so you have a starting point to finely tune them. also picture below should be useful..

I wonder if anybody else has had this problem..
Fixed a wiring fault which caused hi temp and no fuel priming and thought all was well until it came to starting it. It does fire but only if you turn it over with fully open throttle for a few seconds then turn it over with throttle closed. It won't rev and won't start again. Its like the injectors are not getting the correct info about how much they should be fuelling the engine.
Throttle position sensor has been checked and set, crank sensor as well.
Any ideas?? Spend a day looking and testing but getting nowhere!
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi all,
Im looking for a replacement end can but finding it hard to decide 
Price aint an issue but sound it! Standard sounds a little quiet for me, front pipes are standard and in excellent condition so wont be changing them. Oh, needs to have removable baffle 
What do you think of Scorpion? Its about the only one that sounds okay but heard it on Youtube 
Any ideas??
Cheers,
Steve.
