Foc u Yamaha, foc u!

Single cast Callipers were a little bit of a faux pas, ja? What an absolute pain to work on...

or does it even matter?

Just to let you folks back home I know your weather is horrendous but keep positive Spring is on the way.
This was yesterday in the Jalon Valley Costa Blanca Spain. Took my good lady out for Valintines day lunch, sadly she will not get on the bike so it was in the cage.
20 degrees and ideal. I was out this way on the FZ6 on Wednesday. Note the blossom on the Almond trees.
Not trying to piss people off as I know you are having it bad but Spring is on the way.

When pulling up at the lights then releasing front brake lever sometimes a second or two later (stationary) the forks lift up a tad.
My lack of fork knowledge only leaves me guessing  :rolleyes

Any advice/suggestions appreciated!

A question for some of you more experienced bikers on here ? The weather as you all know has been a bit miserable this week. As I've been away working in my truck Monday to Friday the bike was locked up in our factory all nice and dry. But I had to ride home across Glasgow tonight in the rain (about 20 minutes) now being a bit of a newbie I was just wondering what others would do when you got home ? I don't have a shed or garage for storage and the bike usually lives on my driveway at home.
Would you cover the bike up when it's wet or just leave it outside in the rain as it's already soaked ? ?

Been today, well worth a visit, very busy and sure beats looking out the window at the rain and wind

A long shot I know but is anyone selling a pair of FZ6 wheels, doesn't matter if they're scruffy, gonna use them for track day wets.  Even better if they've got discs on them.

Hi Guys,


I was thinking of re-jetting the carburettors on my FZS 600. I have a full Leo Vince exhaust system and K & N filter, so the standard set up is not right. The bike also pops and spits on the overrun, which I love, but it means it is running lean and that can damage the engine, right?


I had a look at these kits - http://www.6sigmajetkit.com/yamaha-fzs-6...t-kit.html & http://www.dynojet.co.uk/index.php/vehic...2000&Go=Go


Not sure which to go for, if any?


I guess I am just board of the freezing winter nights and need something to do. My internet search history is getting crazy. I spent about 3 hours last night reading about dogs... I don't even own a dog and have no plans on getting one. Although a Burnese Mountain Dog seems like a great pet, if anyone is interested  :rolleyes


Anyway, any of you guys done this job? Is it worthwhile? And which kit would you go for?


Cheers

Hi,

Trying to remove the Front Sprockey cover on FZS600 '03 - is it just a matter of undoing the 5 holding bolts?

I've already removed the left hand footrest and linkage. 5 bolts are "out" but cover doesn't want to "shift".

don't want to use anymore force in case I break it (im good at breaking things)
