Welcome to the family. This site is great. Lots of great people. I'm glad to see we are getting some FZ6R owners from different parts of the world. I think there are a few from down under here already. Enjoy the ride.

Hi there, I bought one a month ago, it has been raining quite often over here in the Sunshine Coast, so I have done 250kms so far. Keep in touch and welcome to the site, actually I am new myself, just joined today.

I find the Netrider forum more Aus related than here, but this forum is great for FZ6R and XJ6 specific stuff. Can't say that I've found a lot of us on NR though

Hey i'm Paul also from Melbourne.

Heres a link for the derestriction kit. I haven't derestricted mine yet i will prob make my own throttle cable bracket because i cant justify paying $150 for a piece of metal and i can re-install the restricted bracket if i decide to sell the bike.

I have had mine derestricted for a few months now I think the 150 bucks is well worth it.. To much stuffing around making a new one... But you can always cut the one in there now but when it comes to resell you can't restricted it... Very fast bike now I think there so under powered when it's restricted

I have one of those too and see no reason why you can't put it back. It's straight swop.

 

[Electrix]

Yea i'm not saying the $150 is not worth it, I just know a fabricator who said he can do it for free and i know you can re-install the old one if i brought the $150 kit.

I have riden one without the restriction and its alot faster I don't know why they restrict it so much?

So...to get my R licence and have my FZ6R derestricted, I have to pay $200 bucks to Q-Ride and then pay $150 bucks to have it full power?.
Any other legal way? what a ripp off!!
It is like having a terciary education, 75% of teaching is just useless.

 

[Electrix]

yep you can save the $150 and make one yourself or just cut the one on your bike

 

[Electrix]

And by the way it is illegal to derestrict the fz6r unless you get it re-registed as a full powered bike which you are not allowed to ride on your restricted licence.
It sucks i know

 

[Drewsfz6r]

What they don't kno won't hurt I guess... And plus with the lams bikes these days there is so many different ways they can restricted them how will they know if there restricted or not unless they start looking into it... That's my theory to it...

 

[Electrix]

Lmao thats mine too

Hi Everyone,

I'm a Sydney sider and am on my Brand New FZ6R 2010 Raven which looks and rides really cool. I have no plans of derestricting my bike anytime soon. Got my L's 10 days ago!! so have a long way to go. My bike dealer asked me to change oil in the next service which is at 1000 kms but here in the forum seem to think that it needs an oil change sooner than that. Does anyone have a say on this please.

 

[Lukeyy]

I had mine serviced by my dealer at 1000km. That should be around the right time it takes to wear in the engine. Make sure you read up online about how to wear in a brand new engine.

Hi there scott from sydney...just registered...bought my bike August last year and had the same problems as every-one else so I bought the de-restricter and now it's great.
I also bought the fender elliminator which makes the tail look so much better.

Currently looking for a different muffler to give more power but reduce wieght. any suggestions.
