michigan400 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Changed the headlight marker bulb to a cool white led. Pictures make my running lights look brighter than what you see in person. Wanted it to match my signals drl's. Before pic here. After on next post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Installed the R6 throttle tube finally! Feels so much better in combination with the flashed ECU.

Liquidmetal Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Yesterday I (finally) passed 1000 miles on the FZ. It got it's third oil change and this time it got the good stuff: Motul 7100 10w-40. Also cleaned and lubed the chain. Made time today to give my wheels a thorough cleaning. The back wheel was pretty filthy. Days like this when I really appreciate the shaft drive on my other bike. Rear wheel stays just as clean as the front.

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted August 13, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2018 my problem with all the screens offered for this bike, they dont ever fit just right dont get me wrong, they look good.... except the oem for some reason, but ive tried 4? now.... There always seems to be a gap under the tip, and they dont spread all that wide. even tucked at highway speeds i feel like i'm getting hammered in the chest and head by the wind ATGATT...

There always seems to be a gap under the tip, and they dont spread all that wide. even tucked at highway speeds i feel like i'm getting hammered in the chest and head by the wind I hear ya! That's why I chose the Ermax 39 MM windscreen. It's not just for looks. It comes up a little higher than a lot of the tiny windscreens being offered by companies but not so much that it looks huge on the bike. It's not everyone's cup of tea either but it does deflect most of the wind from the chest and the bottom of my helmet when tucked a little. I understand it doesn't fit the 18's.

You could buy a reservoir relocation kit. I've even seen guys just zip tie it along the swingarm. 1 Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigan400 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 That's what I was wondering. I looked at it the other night and seen the mount was part of the pillion. I'll see what I can cob together and spray paint black! LOL! Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMT07 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) I installed an LED in the headlight over a month ago. Today I swapped out the stock auxiliary bulbs for some LEDs. Their a bit longer than the stock bulbs but they fit and work well. First pic shows the stock bulbs. Second pic is the stock next to the LED. Third pic shows left LED and right stock bulb. Fourth pic shows stock on top with LEDs on bottom. Edited August 14, 2018 by JayMT07 3 1 Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Actually did this GSXR1000 spring swap onto the stock shock a week or so ago. Easy swap and improved the around town ride greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
