Great series! Real world repairs/restoration of a bike that deserved another chance. I really enjoy your channel. I think it is some of the best “how to” on TH-cam and your production is top notch. Please keep up the great work!
Good on ya Rod. Saved a bike and made someone very happy and made about $0.75 / hour to boot. All kidding aside, looks like a labour of love for you and videos are much appreciated. Thanks for letting us follow along.
For someone learning how to do these jobs, these videos are awesome. Good information presented clearly and giving helpful suggestions on how to do certain tasks. Subscribed.
you're great at making videos, good editing and processing. keep filming and showing more maintenance and repair of various components and assemblies of motor vehicles, various types of cruisers motorcycles, for example, vt750, xvs1100, 650 etc.
I've got the same year and model as this one, and recently changed the rear sprocket going up three teeth. Very quick off the throttle now. Also installed R6 rearsets. They fit great with small modifications. The break side is trickier. I would like to keep the stock master cylinder. Can the joint that connects the brake reservoir hose to the master cylinder be turned 90 degrees? Or is it in a fixed position? You did a great job on the bike my friend.
The hose should be able to be turned no problem, this is low pressure, as long as the reservoir is above the master there should be no problem. Thanks for the feedback & view!
ive had an fz6 and fz6r. paradoxicly the fz6 is the more performance orientated bike with an aluminum frame and a the motor in a higher state of tune. the yamaha bargin basement parts bin suspension is real bad. the rear shocks go out on these fairly quick and they are non rebuildable, happened on the r. the fz6 regular was my sportbike and i spend so mutch time trying to get the forks working but no combination of oil weight, height, and preload stopped the chatter not even going real fast, would propbibly need emulators or complete replacements to get that bike good. im not real picky about suspension but when my bone stock 1971 cb350 is more confidence inspiring somethings off. put some rubber hose or something on the end of the chain adjuster thread off the back of the swing arm, even with jam nuts i lost 2 chain adjuster blocks from the nut rattleing off.
I know this is a year old by now, but I would love to get your advice or suggestions on how I can get my aftermarket chinese fairings to fit my FZ6R. If you can help, I sent you a msg on Facebook, cuz I'm at my wits end with this.
Great work! I always appreciate a youtuber/ enthusiast that gives back to the community , I have been riding for few years in Ontario, and always wanted to upgrade to a bigger bike, sadly ...I can not justify the big jump in my insurance rate. keep up the good work!

I always wondered if buying a whacked bike made sense financially, I see it does not, other than as a good deed. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for all the comments & views!
