why if i may ask??? 

You can tune whatever you want, but you can't legally register/drive/ride it on the street ,but there aren't any racetracks either so ....   

And the legislation of motorsports that was begun got stuck in bureaucracy soup....meanwhile "inspired" riders take it to the street

and get killed.

For example if I build a supermoto bike DMV won't register it because of the altered tires ,so people here have two sets,

one is just for passing annual DMV test.

You'll have to go through hell to legalize supermoto or any moded bikes/cars if ever.

No body will ensure it and if you race it on a closed track it's illegal.

Israeli riders go to Greece and race there,it's easier   

small training in a closed (& deserted track)

so basically its a pain in teh ass to own anyting other than a car in israel?

da.


even having a car is pain in the a$$ ' cause its a small country , & most of the people have their own car , so youre spending  most of the time in traffic jams or looking for parking .

wow, I never knew it was that regulated there.  Come visit us on this side of the pond and you won't want to move back.

It's not that it's regulated,  it's just that there are not many experts and true professionals for tunning and such , so for regulating

bodies it's easier to ban anything not OEM ,why the headache ,right? 

I can't fit a 150 rear tire that is specified by manufacturer for our 3.5 inch rim ,because in vehicles registration it says 130 

People are resourceful and find loopholes though ,only fear is that you get stopped by someone who has a clue , but most don't 

One rider was stopped for not having one of the two lights lit up on his bike, the rider had to explain that it only did for high lights,

cop gave him a ticket   

The motorcycling doesn't make up for the Israeli girlz. They are just smoking hot! Where in Israel do you live? I did a tour a few years back with Hillel. Nice bike by the way.

draining the oil




opening









New springs

















The pads were at normal range size , but were replaced anyway .



the feeling is much  better , and the bike reacts accuratley to the trottle.

cheers

Stock



FZ1 (fazer1000) 2004



GIXXER 600 -2004-6












The FZ's shock doesnt fit at all .
upper mounting is too wide ( can be cutted and fited).
lower mounting i too short.


gixxers shock was more compatible at the top mounting .




downstars i had a small problem .
The linh wat too hi .



i had to grid ~3 mm from the shock mounting to fit the bolt holes.



much easyer with milling machine .






ITS ALIVE





...




the tale is 1.5-2 inch hihger.





unfortunantley the spring touched the swing arm . its 3 mm short .

im thinking of cutting radius and welding a n angled plate.







finally i put trhe old shock back .
