FZ6 / Fazer / Re: Clutch mod FZ6 S2 2009/ GIPRO gear indicator

Correct. The leverage is slightly longer at the engine case end, due to the fixing point for the cable being further out from the pivot point than the original. There is no slip, therefore your second observation must be correct

No difference at all at the bar end, apart from being lighter to pull.

FZ6 / Fazer / Clutch mod FZ6 S2 2009/ GIPRO gear indicator
« on: 08 November 2016, 05:38:48 pm »
Wow. Cant believe its been that long since Ive been on here. Anyhow, apologies for that. Ive completed the clutch mod that involved making and fitting a longer lever at the case end, and it works a treat for me, meaning the clutch action is a lot lighter and does not cramp me hand when in traffic. Ive also fitted a GIPRO X Type gear indicator, which once the installation was finished, has worked fine. A word of caution though for anyone wishing to undertake the same, there is VERY little room in the loom for splicing in the connectors, so only tug at the wires VERY carefully. Incidentally, took the bike to Donington Park beginning of October for a trackday. Went with the novice group, what a hoot, great fun, counldnt fault the bike

FZ6 / Fazer / 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?

Aha, finally found how to start a topic. Hi all, pleased to meet you. Hope to become a useful member of the club. Old guy, 63, but that doesnt bother me. Still working for living, like to keep myself fit, like life, still got 2 bikes, the other is a virago cruiser. Just bought the fz6, part exed it for an 86 yx600 (loved that bike). Just been out for a few miles, came back and made an adjustment to the rear shock, clutch, and gearchange link arm, all to suit me. Anticipate the FZ will be my main bike.
