My local paint refinishing supplies do Aerosols mixed up to any bike colour for £10.95 a can, also 2K Clear Gloss & Satin lacquer too which is fuel & UV resistant to yellowing at same price.
Just done my Gen1 frame with the correct Dark Grey Pearl basecoat & Satin clear, looks amazing, way better than Yamaha's attempt.
I assume they'll post it out if asked for a reasonable charge.
Other paint suppliers like RS paint for example have been ripping us off for yrs.
Hope this helps any other Foccers that are planning to refurb their own bikes.

| Booster plug fz6 impressions |

After looking for reviews on the booster plug specific to the fz6, couldn't find any for how the bike responds to the installation. However, read plenty of good reviews on other bikes so thought I'd give it a shot and bought one, to see if it could smooth out the snatchy throttle at all.
So here's my honest review - it is definitely an improvement over the standard set up. It definitely idles stronger, as per the richer fuel mixture. It's slightly easier to pull off from a standstill smoothly. However, don't expect it to 100% fix this issue. I'd say the biggest difference I notice is when feathering the throttle on corners to maintain speed. Before, this was really jerky compared to other bikes I've had and a bit disconcerting. Now, I'm able to adjust throttle mid corner without it lurching so much. Again, it doesn't go away 100% but it's about a 50% improvement and keeps my rides smoother.
It doesn't change the character of the bike or anything, but it's this small improvement that makes it a lot easier to commute every day. If you use your bike a lot, the small improvement on each ride does make a big difference so it's worth it for that.
If you use your bike mainly for weekend scratching and high speed stuff, you won't really notice a difference at though rpms. It is most effective at 4000rpm and below, I think.
Hope this helps anyone considering buying one to make a choice ?
