Lowered ride height on FZ6 S2
« on: 09 May 2015, 08:08:17 pm »
Hi All, I recently lowered the rear end, bought and fitted the mounting piece the connects the shock to the swing arm complete with new bearing and seals. Have to say I haven't noticed any difference in ride quality or performance, and I can now get the balls of my feet down both sides (I know, short arse). Had an absolute bastard of a job getting the steel bush out of the arm bracket, finished up red heating a 10mm bolt and placing it in the bore several times to transfer some heat to it, and soaking it in plusgas. Two days later of this treatment, it started to come out, all good in the end. I like the bike, rides real smooth, nice turn of pace, good riding position. Throttle a bit snatchy when snapped shut quick then back on the gas, mirror vision is poor though. Are they any good for a track day?
