Hi all. Just returned to 2 wheels after a gap of 18 years, nice to be back. Picked up my mint 99 fazer on Friday and can't get enough of it. Looking forward to getting some miles under my belt as the summer goes on.

trying to set forks up after full rebuild and oil change Castrol 5 wt oil but kept standard springs,,


1 ring showing is hard on normal riding until I do the bends at speed when it feels so solid and planted..


3 rings showing great on normal riding but not so planted at speed in bends as i accelerate rapidly (drifts wide)..


2 rings feels mushy and vague


Got devilsyam r6 shock mod which is brilliant :b  dilemma is r6 front forks or progressive/linear springs as both will be roughly the


same cost or try different weight oil as first port of call..


Any input welcome..ps 13.5 stone with the gear on.. sag etc set ok...

Hi all,


Bought my 2008 FZ6 back in November '16 and have ridden almost every day since! Absolutely love it for london commuting, and am about to set off on a two-up Europe tour on Monday to really stretch the bike's legs. Will post again when we return with photos etc


Happy riding to you all


Will

Howde all,
I have just become the proud owner of this beastie:


2005 FZS 1000
It has come with a fair few mods.

Akrapovic carbon end can, AIS gubbins and EXUP valve removed.

Ohlins internals forks and Ohlins shock with remote preload, crash bungs, LED rear lights with integrated indicators, colour coded bits and bobs, rad protector, heated grips, comfort seat.

It also has the FZ1 master cylinder for the front brake and braided hoses all round.

Full service history, and less than 15k miles. It's my first Yamaha, having had Kawasakis, Hondas and Ducatis over the years.

As for me, I'm not nearly as interesting, or modified, vastly higher mileage and live on the outskirts of Dublin.

Cheers,
Lord_D

Well push off tomorrow for 4 days up north. 1 left on a fazer (not me) 1 on a gsr750 and a busa. I did this ride 4years ago and loved it so having a repeat will post pictures on route.

Hello Everyone.


Finally got round to registering on this great helpful owners site.


Old hips getting a bit shaky so reluctantly sold the gen 1 1000, and recently replaced it with a FZ6 S2. Miss the outright easy performance of the 1000 but this 600 sings, and its lighter and lower for the old fart too.


Looking forward to all the useful hints n tips for the FZ6.


Cheers, take care out there.

Anyone tried a seat from Top Sellerie? I was thinking about a replacement seat for the thou and came across this

It's only their basic seat and looks like you have to send the original seat back to them after you receive the new one.


Just wondering how they were for comfort, quality etc

Is it possible to pay the toll charge in advance at a Payzone Terminal that's local to me before I travel, or does the charge have to be paid after having made the crossing?.
Traveling by car.


Many thanks in anticipation
