Yamaha FZ6 Modifications to Consider
Welcome to part 2 of my series about the various adjustments that are available for motorcycles Yamaha FZ6. It seems every time I turn around I find something new to do for my FZ6. In Part 1 of this series I discussed the possibility of upgrading the glass window of aftermarket exhaust, and seats. In Part 2 I will give an overview of the available options for a new deal, levers and rear sets. Unlike Powertrain adjustments, it is primarily aesthetics and comfort rather than performance enhancement. Let's get to it.
* Grips - Some reasons to consider getting a new grip for the Yamaha FZ6. One reason is convenience. Some will find that the grips on the FZ6 too small and not comfortable enough for long trips. Increasing the size of the deal, for some, increase comfort and reduce strain on hands and wrists. In addition, a deal that includes gel, which, for obvious reasons improve comfort, grip. Another reason to consider this new address for their aesthetic value. Grips that come stock with the FZ6 is a very black and conspicuous. A lot of grip available that have bright colors and logos shown brand loyalty among others. Being one of the most inexpensive changes, this would be good to consider if it does not appeal to you whatsoever.
* Lever - The lever that came on the Yamaha FZ6 is pretty standard and similar to what you would see on any other stock motorcycle. They are long, money, and get a more ball-end. They were right about what they planned, but there is something to be gained by changing to aftermarket levers .. Two of the same reasons apply to overcome a replacement lever. Change of address can provide better comfort and improve aesthetics. In addition, however, some methods provide some added convenience features that make them easier to adjust from stock. Many after-market lever is slightly shorter than the stock version and allows the use of two or three fingers for moving and braking without any extra long lever pinch fingers left over. As riders get more advanced and confident with moving and braking, the method can be much shorter, more convenient and easy to use. Aesthetically speaking, after market levers that are available in various colors and styles that can be used to highlight or contrast colors and designs bicycle. Finally, many uniforms now come with the ability to adjust the lever position on-the-fly to account for brake fade and clutch adjustments. This can be a big help compared to the stock drivers that need more work to do the same modification. Some methods also include the ability to "bend" the lever near the pivot them. This certainly could be useful if undue pressure is being applied to the top of the lever. Instead of cutting something more critical, the lever just "fold" up.
* Rearsets - Rearsets footpegs create a rider, moving the lever, and rear brake lever. I do not see so much about rearsets for Yamaha FZ6 as I have other reforms, but they are out there and need attention. Some reasons for changing the rearsets are similar to other adjustments that I mentioned. A comfort / usability and aesthetics. After market rearsets can usually be adjusted forward, backward, up and down. This is a definite advantage when looking for extra comfort and improved ride position. In addition to possible conversion, after market rearsets are usually higher quality than original equipment. Many noted that the change was much crisper and cleaner, and braking is also more positive. Some weakness is that many of the rearset pegs are fixed, and therefore will not be folding the event of an accident, or anything caught in it. It can be harmful to the mechanisms involved in the post if the force is large enough for them. Some rearsets that I really like seeing rearsets rhizome (photo). One thing to note, however, is that they build for the European FZ6 do not have a built-in center will stand as the U.S. version, and they interfere with each other. Small adjustments needed to make them fit properly.
