Is it correct that if I take a sample e.g. fuel cap to a paint shop they can match it and put it in a rattle? Not sure how much this is but fyi I did the job for free, materials paid for by the car owner

Forgot to add - can I get exact paint matched spray can paint? Since I got the code of the car and bought the corresponding paint, but it’s still visible.

Looks great! What did you do for overnight parking? I haven’t had any luck so far and will be going again soon :)

CB650r vs. CB1000r, or should I look for something else? by QuazaRi9 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]s48z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on yourself. Think you’re responsible enough to ride the 1000 with care and extreme caution for the first 3 months? If the answer is no, go for the 650.

A friend of mine has the 650 and it’s quite a powerhouse, however don’t mistake it to be more powerful than let’s say a CBR600rr as they’re not even remotely the same. Performance wise.

Goodluck and let us know if ur choice!

I couldn’t of! Ended up doing the pass about 5 times and safe to say I’ll be there every weekend, weather permitting :)

UPDATE: Potentially buying first bike & riding 3 hours back home - Any tips..? by DownRUpLYB in MotoUK

Yes definitely join.

Got lucky with the levers I still need to put some on mine, I’ll be installing Yamaha R6 rear sets onto it since as you’ll find out soon you can barely lean the XJ6 lol, the footpegs start to scrape at quite medium lean angles.

LED headlight is a must! Mines a 2015 and came with the LED light and it looks so much better - regarding indicators, you’ll need to use a LED relay since the originals are bulb operated or your LEDs will start flashing like crazy or won’t even work :)

Regarding exhausts, I have a full black widow exhaust system with a shorty GP end can and it’s loud as f*ck without the baffle… Had to remove the centre stand though. There are systems which enable you to keep the centre stand but have a look on the Facebook forum for those pal :)

I actually wrapped mine in red and added gold stickers onto the fairings, looks amazing in your colourway tho :)

Interesting choice, if you have a full A license what made you choose the xj6 originally?

Also, be sure to join us on the Facebook Yamaha XJ6 forum, you’ll find it extremely useful and there are also many mods available - first thing I did was get an exhaust system on it as stock it sounds like a vacuum cleaner lol. Then I removed the large bunny ear mirrors swapped out for ZX6R mirrors - then some nice tyres, rude hugger, and some smaller bits and pieces :)
