    Do i need new chain?

    somewhere here is a whole thread done by one of our engineering members. He had charts he did up in Excel showing gains/loses for each variation of sprocket change.... it is a good read... If I can find it I'll throw the link here. basically, you do hit a point of no gains either top speed or...

    Still in stock hard bags and the required mounting system?

    I'd give Twisted Throttle a call, you can browse the website,but I couldn't find the mounting brackets when I searched. I had the Givi set years ago, it was the only option and expensive (close or just above $1k for side mount and luggage), but it was a nice system, removed from bike quickly...

    Should I get a retune / ECU flash?

    Our expert Marthy pops in here from time to time... maybe he can give some advice. A lot of us years ago got the PCV and shared two or three different maps, more so to cut out decel pops than any gains.

    How do you clip this piece in?

    from what I remember, lots of patience, bending, flipping and screaming.... and then, it just magically clicks... lol

    Quite bike

    Previous owner may have gutted the exhaust (is it an exhaust and cat all in one)... Can see a few videos of our famous Marthy exhausts on youtube and a few with R6 header and slip-on (though R6 header needed a slight bend to fit)

    A few options buy a full exhaust system (two brothers had one, not sure about now) cut the exhaust off and add an aftermarket slipon or gut the existing exhaust.

    Plugged tire help

    Not safe to ride at all! The tire is held on by air pressure... you try to ride it and that tire comes off, you'll have more than just a flat tire to replace...

    Shuts off after blip in neutral or 1st with clutch pulled in

    how many miles, have you sync'd the throttle bodies ever? That simple adjustment effects idle and might cause something like this.. but I'm no mechanic, Marthy is our resident expert on all things engines :) https://www.600cc.org/threads/how-to-sync-throttle-bodies-on-the-fz6r.15991/

    Need Help Need help finding an 09 FZ6R rear seat cowl - (I'm also willing to buy it from you if available)

    Good luck... even when this bike was new those were hard to come by... best bet is ebay or hit up a local fabricator for a custom one.

    Need Help Recommendations for bike accessories and security, etc.

    All I can say is, search this forum thru and thru, lots of info from when the bike first came out in 2009, but not so much these days. Don't worry about the year when looking, the only change ever done was the rear grab bar, went from a one piece to a two piece, so anything that fits FZ6R will...

    Where is everyone?

    Definitely not stock... this is the tail on stock. integrated tail has turn signals/brakes/driving lights all in one. Also not DOT approved in most states, but most don't know/care as long as you have signals and brake lights.
