He chickened out when he realised the video showed a red fazer 600 passing oil and doing a roadside repair when he was gunning it, the red Fazer rider was eating chips out of the tank at the same time.
Was raining pretty much all day yesterday. When it cleared up in the evening, took the bike to go to the store while there was still a mist. Found out that going about 60 and quickly turning my head right and left clears the visor pretty good on my HJC helmet Nice!

One of the first forum I subscribed to wanted me to have a number in my login (or maybe Didier was already taken, I forgot), so I added '9'. Now, I use that by default on most forums, makes my life simpler... In extreme cases, I have also used didier99, didier999 and even didier9999 one time Weather here this week end is perfect for me to finish my taxes, if you see what I mean.It is just as well as it does not take very much to distract me away from this fascinating endeavor. I have an R6 shock and dogbones waiting for me in the garage...
Only had my 2002 model, 2003 registered Fazer FZS 600 for a couple of years and i'm not really a scratcher, so, the suspension has not really been a huge problem for me but have often thought that the back could do with a bit more control over what is happening back there on faster bumpy bends.The R6 Shock that you mention, any more information would be helpful.Cheers didier9 or is that 99 or maybe 999, stop stop now! FFS!.
Not today but yesterday went out on a 150mile ride with me dad beautiful day. The fazer was spot on the whole time

FFS!. Tommy,What prompted me to look into the rear shock was riding my daughter's new FZ-07 for a few days while my bike was in the shop for fork rebuild. The FZ-07 was very much planted in the rear compared to my bike. Going over the same bumpy turns that I am well used to, her bike would go over the same bumps without changing line, where my bike would require corrections because the rear wanted to go wide. I regularly read the yamahafz1oa.com and 998cc.com forums and many people on those have made the R6 shock upgrade and generally think fairly highly of it, considering the modest cost.I bought a (like new) R6 shock on eBay for $50 and dogbones/washers sold by a guy on the west coast for $40. You need new dogbones because the R6 shock is a little shorter and you need the washers because the lower bracket on the R6 shock is a little narrower. Aside from being a better device, the R6 shock also has fast and slow compression damping adjustments, compared to the single compression damping adjustment on the FZ1's. Now I only need a week end (hopefully) to do the conversion.
Your are frequenting far to many fast food outlets on that slow silver fazer
