Looks good. You going to get the xj6 fairings? If not I'd say unbolt those fairing brackets and itll clean it up a bit more. Maybe it's my OCD but my next oil change I'm pulling the oil pan and powdercoating that thing black.. it just sticks out like a sore thumb to me now. Ugh! Lol I've thought about the delkevic exhaust as well. It's pretty clean looking and the price is nice. But dunno about the quality never seen one in person. Plus I've already started the Marthy mod. Just need to make time to weld it all together. Its been sitting on my shelf forever..Finishing up my streetfighter. Exhaust is next on the list. Anybody have any experience with Delkevic?

Not sure about the XJ6 fairings, I'd like them but I don't think they're worth the $$$ especially because they'll need to be imported from overseas. How are you doing your exhaust? I'd love to just cut that ugly catalytic converter out and throw on a midpipe + slipon, but I don't really have any welding experience.Looks good. You going to get the xj6 fairings?

Hey there, i threw a delkevic system on my fz6r this past summer. Very happy with it. Will need AIS block off plates to reduce popping on deceleration.Looks good. You going to get the xj6 fairings?

First time changing the spark plugs this past Saturday. My wife helped out since she wants to learn how to do everything. Took a few hours but went well. I was almost 4k miles over due for them to be changed, but they all looked decent. Nothing really terrible. One of the ground straps showed a little more "white" than the others, but the electrode wasn't white, so Idk. Replaced them with NGK CR9EIX iridiums. Will probably pull them around 20k to see how they look.
Also flushed the coolant. I know the service interval says its good for a bit, but I've had the bike for two years and wanted to put fresh in. Replaced it with OEM Yamacool.
Will be doing brake pads in the next month or so and putting new tires on.
Plugs had 11800 miles on them, so they were 3000 miles overdue based on our service schedules on these bikes. As mentioned on the coolant, I flushed it well before it was due, but I've got peace of mind now with it, and it looked good coming out so I was happy with that. it wasnt dirty or hazy.Unless something is way off, Feul injection is pretty easy on plugs. If you kept them, post up a pic, how many miles? What tires are you looking at? I'd also be interested in your experience with new pads. Street pads, or more oriented to your track days?

I've got a set of Metzeler M7's sitting in my gun room waiting to be mounted for the track/ summer street riding. But I think I'm going to give Dunlop Q3+'s a try next go round. I hear nothing but good about them. I was worried about how they acted in rain and really wet roads, but I really dont ride much in the rain unless I get caught in a freak storm and then I just slow down and lean off the bike more to keep it upright.
As far as pads go - I have a front and rear set of EBC HH sintered pads that I wanted to try for the track. I've heard better things about Vesrah, so I'll start with the EBC's and see how things go. When the rotors come around, I'll probably replace with Galfer Wave rotors. May actually look into Galfer pads as well to see how they perform.
Made a video on Easter Sunday about the FZ6r, but it turned to crap, so I scrapped it. Will try to make one on my way home from work today and get it edited tonight. It will be my thoughts and opinions on the platform.
