    Does an R6 front sprocket fit our bike?

    I'm seriously struggling to find a nice front sprocket for the XJ6N (FZ6R same bike). I've found this: That is the XJ6 sizes. So could I buy a Renthal sprocket to fit an R6 and it'd fit the XJ6? **EDIT** It appears that it does. Here is the R6 page...

    Headlights - anybody tried anything?

    Thinking of changing to an MT-03 headlight if I eventually get R6 forks and front wheel on my bike. Has anybody tried an MT03 headlight? I hope it is just plug & play, but will have to wait and see. So the good news is I might have an EU headlight to sell soon for any of you guys doing the...

    Looking for some bar mounts, any ideas?

    So in this photo you can see the green arrows pointing from where the bars currently sit - to where I'd like them. Pretty much an inch lower, and an inch closer to the tank. Any recommendations? Right now I think the bars are just too high and too far away from the seat. Photo...

    Important for anybody with a pre-2012 FZ6R

    I recently went to take a look around the local Yamaha showroom, and noticed a new update that has been added to the UK XJ6N/XJ6 Diversion (US FZ6R). Basically, the rear sets of our bikes are badly protected, and can wear down easily. The 2012 onward bikes have new protectors which can be...

    Alright so I've ran a few searches on multiple sites, and I can't find anybody who has successfully put an R6 front on an FZ6R. So, here are my questions.

    Rear tire (tyre if you're American) size

    Okay so I know the standard size on the XJ6 is 160/60/17 (I assume FZ6r is exactly the same). A friend has some part-worn tires that are 180/60/17... Obviously this is not the standard size, and isn't ideally fitted...but have you any experience? Would it be safe?

    Ripped the thread out of sump

    The bike is a 2010 XJ6N, but I believe that is simply the UK equivalent of the FZ6R. I've searched and read through a few threads but not found the best solution to this exact problem yet. So I over-tightened the drain bolt and the thread has ripped out of the sump. The bolt is perfectly fine...
