    Damn yellow reflectors??

    Anybody have any idea of the part number or source other than eBay for the yellow reflectors that are bolted to the front brake calipers/forks? I can't find them in any parts diagrams, including Partzilla. :confused: UPDATE: For anyone struggling to find these things, they're for some reason...

    3.33 Gear Ratio (-1/+4)

    For my fellow track day junkies: As I slowly transition my Fizzer more and more toward track bike status, I am toying with the idea of a stout gearing change. So far in my experience, the bike's weakest link (aside from its standard peg configuration) is the exit from hairpin turns where I'm...

    Exhaust Cam Seating Problem

    For any of you mechanically technical folks: Performed valve adjustment and replaced 58,000 mile timing chain and cam sprockets. Timing chain tensioner was already removed. The crankshaft accidentally turned over about 90 degrees while applying the force needed to break loose the rotor wheel...

    Service Manual ERROR!

    Anyone with the FZ6R Service Manual .PDF, please verify this with me: Page 5-15 indicates the torque spec for the camshaft sprocket bolts to be 1.5 ft. lbs.

    The Timing Advance Mod: Valve Adjustment?

    Gentlemen, I'll be turning 50,000 miles on my 2009 FZ6R soon. Engine-wise, I've got an R6 header, Yoshi can, Power Commander PCFC running Marthy's Sport map. I run NGK Iridium IX plugs and 93 octane, always. I've never had to do anything to this bike other than normal maintenance stuff. I've...

    MAP Question (WITH PICS!)

    Hey guys, Recently installed an R6 header, Yoshimura can, Blackpath block-off plates, and PCFC. I'm currently running the "Two Brothers Full Exhaust" MAP from the Power Commander website, because it's certainly better than running lean. I downloaded Marthy's Viper Sport RevA MAP because...

    Strangeness with oil capacity...

    Guys, Routine oil change, bike level on paddock stands. I've never made it a habit of checking the dipstick. I've always just poured in 3 quarters of Yamalube and been on my way. This time, for whatever reason, I decided to check the level on the dipstick and discovered that with 3...
