I definitely notice the way the power starts to build around 5k+. I don't recall feeling like my bike was hesitating or having a hard time down low though. It definitely doesn't have a whole lot of "oomph" down low, but it still revs fine when giving it throttle. I did put an R6 throttle tube...

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. It'd be so much easier to work with and have way more control. I have an idea to allow for flash tuning that I'm considering diving into next winter instead of going with the Power Commander and FZ6 cams like I was initially planning on. It's probably...

I've been looking into adding a wideband lately too since I'm about to put on an exhaust and I have an AEM X-Series lying around from my drift car. One thing I saw, I think on an R6 forum, was that people would sometimes run into charging system issues because of the draw from the oxygen sensor...

Is there a particular brand you guys recommend for the +1 front sprocket? I've been searching around for one with the rubber bushing backing, but it seems like a solid one is the only option for a direct fit.

Marthy, is there any significant reason to hunt down a PCV over purchasing a new PCFC? Will your maps work just as well either way?

Looking to scoop up a Power Commander V to take advantage of some modifications done to the bike over this winter. The PC6 looks like it's gotten nerfed significantly with how much you can adjust on your own with all the EPA crackdowns.

If anyone just straight up wants the whole service manual, I uploaded it to my Google Drive I use for sharing wiring diagrams and and manuals for other communities I'm a part of.

Makes sense. I just found a nice deal on a matched FZ6 cam/crank set and I saw that Yamaha has a really easy system for picking out main and rod bearings. Since I'll have the motor out and the bottom open this winter, I was curious as to whether or not keeping the FZ6 cam gears and popping in...

Just for reference I guess, the one piece XJ6 seat does fit on the FZ6R. However, the latch for the seat needs to be moved to the position on the frame that's further back. That also requires the longer release cable for the seat latch off of the XJ6 (Yamaha P/N 20S-2478E-00-00).

Hi there! I'm a new member, but I've been lurking for a long time and this site has been a great resource over the past two years. My bike is a 2015 FZ6R that I purchased back in 2021 for commuting purposes, but I couldn't leave well enough alone with a history of building cars. So it got...

I hate to bump an old thread, but I had a couple questions regarding the timing adjustment and machining on the cam gears. Hopefully Marthy happens to see this. What's the particular reasoning for the slotting of the cam gear to advance the timing? Does the slotting make up the difference...
