So basically the big dilema in any shop is torque wrench or no torque wrench? So we had a contest to see who could get clostest to a specific torque value.
We had 2 bolts, one to use a 1/4 rachet on the other to use a 1/2.
The way we checked it was by setting a torque wrench to the value...
Hey boys I been having a rough time last 2 days. Me and my fiance broke up yesterday, a day after my birthday and a day before our anneversary. Been real rough for me. We been arguing but just over small litle things nothing major so I'm still confused. Idk boys I just need man talk.

So my birthday is in less then a month so I decided I'm going to enjoy it by modding my bike. I put some money away past few months so I can do some dramatic changes.
Planned:
Heat reflective air box.
Zx6 mirrors.
Custom dyno tune. (Done by myself)
Clips ons
New grips.
And...
Yes I know its not an fz6r BUT Same concept. Someone a while back wanted to know how to take of the stator cover without loosing oil. This is how all the techs do it on the clutch side. For the stator do the same thing with the bike thbe other way.
Hope this helps

120= the cross section (width) of the tire
60= proprtional height of the tire wall (percentage of the width)
Z= speed rating (149mph+)
R= radial type tire...

I been looking on craigslist to try and find a cheaper commander. Will any power commander V work or only the one specifically for the fz6r? I looked on the power commander website and there is no numbers to specify the model ect. So my question is basically will a power commander V fit our...
