My brother switched to a gsxr750 after the fz. He loves the power and handling but says the fz was way more comfortable. Not a bad next bike, but youll miss the fz when you hit stop n go

That sounds nice!!

Thanks man! Still havent gotten around to the rear yet. I was taking a look at the shock mounts and bolt sizes to see if it would just bolt up, of course not. however, the top bolt of the yzf shock looks the same size as the bottom bolt on the Fz, and vice versa. If it is such, i could just flip...

I broke a clutch cable at 25,000 miles. But it was normal wear for my riding style :rolleyes:

R6 headers work on the fz?? If those work then im gonna see if i can fit my yzf600r headers on it. its got the yoshi slip on too :D As for the guy wanting to rip up a brand new fz, go ride with somebody that has a loud exhaust and theyll tell you how annoying that shit is after 4 hours. Dont...

Bout to ride over to the shop, steal a break lever of my yzf, and somehow get it to fit a 636 lol My buddy went for his first ride in the hillcountry yesterday and ended up trying to ride home at night. He saw a deer in mid corner and tapped the front brakes.... So i've been zip tying...

Just to clarify, Its NOT an R6. Its a yzf600r (thundercat). My method of testing travel was rocking the bike back and forth with the front brakes on. It seems to move just like the fz forks, but stiffer. I've also been paying attention to the forks while im riding, and i havent noticed anything...

It may very well be. I didnt use it because the space left over between the axle and fork was smaller with the fz rim, and the yzf rim has the speedo sensor thing on one side. But you could probably get it to work. From what i could see, the clipons from the yzf would hit the fairings, meanin i...

Got the bright idea to use my other yamaha's forks and did the swap. This is simple write up being that ill probly forget something, but if you have questions ill do my best to provide details. Ive thought about swapping some of the parts from the 600r a couple of times in the past, but...

About to roll to 30,000. My A** is right at home on the fz lol

74.6 miles to school and back on the highways and its all traffic. So i take a few back roads when i hit the country to relax and exhale the exhaust fumes of that damned city.

Whats up guys. I recently repoed my yzf600r after the idiot i sold it too wrecked it. He stopped paying so i got stuck with my first bike again. On the other hand i figured there must be something this bike would have to offer to my fz6r, being that they are both yamaha's. I took a look...

The balance point for a nice long wheelie on this bike is almost vertical. I've heard its mainly because the engine is pitched a few degrees forward to keep her down. So as I've Learned, you gotta go big or go home to wheelie an fz6r. that means dropping the f#ck out of her if you dont know what...

names Bryce, livin north of san antonio texas. Away from traffic :) Got my fz6r alittle over two years ago. My brother orignally bought it to learn on and gave it to me when he upgraded. Besides the bike, I'm an unemployed college kid studying mechanical engineering and trying to figure out my...
