    Swing arm swap

    FZ 600 posted a post in a topic in Naked
    Hi, I am looking into doing a swing are swap on my 1988 FZ600. I have heard different things about whether this is possible or not. Does anyone have any information on an R6 swing arm fitting on my bike? Thanks

    Need Mirror Caps

    FZ 600 posted a post in a topic in Naked
    Everyone, I bought a CRG 3" Hindsight mirror and want to remove the stock mirrors from my 1988 FZ600. I have looked around but have been unable to find any mirror caps that will close up the holes after removing the stock mirrors. Are there such things as generic mirror caps? How are these installed? Do they fit in the holes perfectly to fill them up? Thanks for any help.

    Bike won't start in the cold

    Thanks for all the great suggestions and ideas. I think it is mostly due to having a bad battery. I decided to try to use a little bit of extra juice and jumped my bike battery with my car battery. The bike started right up and I was amazed by how easy it worked. So I am going to head over to the local bike shop today after work and see if they have the type of battery that I need. I live in an apartment and only have outside parking and can not hook a trickle charge. I was looking into the solar powered ones but it just doesn't seem practical to hook it up when it could be stolen very easy. I ride my bike to work everyday, snow and ice permitting, so it isn't like the bike is sitting for a while at any time. If I could somehow mount the solar trickle charger on my bike perminantly for the winter I would be down with that. Has anyone done this?

    Bike won't start in the cold

    It is getting really cold here in Pennsylvania and I have noticed my bike getting harder and harder to start. This morning my bike wouldn't start. I have a 1988 FZ600u that is in pretty good shape and has had no problems starting until it has become cold outside. I just bought the bike this past summer and the bike was inspected and fixed up right when I got it. I replaced the spark plugs about 2 weeks ago and they didn't seem to help all that much. Do you guys think if I got a new battery that would help at all? What else could the problem be? Thanks.
