Go with the EBC, better pad for around the same price as OEM

Royal Purple Max Chain

I have the woodcraft clipons with the front lowered 1.5". No problems with kickstand, the bike does stand a little more straight up when parked. I just make sure to lock the forks when I park it.

Since the FZ6R isn't a racing motorcycle, it relies on the suction of the engine for air instead of the ram air effect used in most supersports. With our airbox design, you'll always get that oval dirt patch on the filter. best bet is to go with a K&N filter that you can clean and reuse regularly.

That's right, the speedometer will show you a speed faster than you are actually going. Going up to a 17t front sprocket will make the speedometer almost perfectly accurate.

Stock is 16 front, 46 rear. -1/+2 will give great acceleration and wheelie power, but you lose top end speed, and the speedometer will be off

Check with MistahT, he might still have some for sale.

i ran into similar issue installing rear blinkers, since the connectors are different, I spliced mine with posi-locks.

I am interested in getting this from you, but I've never done any kind of work like this on a bike. Is there somewhere I can research this procedure so I don't blow up my engine?

I was there Saturday and Sunday, sorry just saw this post

i'm in decatur. Have you checked out the fz6r facebook page yet?

Same thing happened to me removing the stock oil filter. I soaked the base of the filter with some wd-40, then used the screwdriver method to finally get it off. Been using k&n filter ever since.

Look at Woodcraft or Apex. They both make clipons with risers, which will be needed to clear the fairings.

the valter moto 1.5 rearsets are $326 if that helps any.

This is the exact setup I did, except I chose the driven steel rear sprocket instead. You can still use the 118 link chain, but its gonna be less initial slack at first, but it does fit. Also make sure you get the chain with the master link instead of the clip style for the strongest chain.

Not considering the R6 for a track bike? I got three friends I ride with that all have the s1000rr for mostly track days(always in novice class too) and mountain runs. Its also a decent street bike too. Probably the best compromise for what you are looking to do.

Welcome! I like hitting twisties too. Have you set your rear suspension to the hardest setting yet? I found it makes a BIG difference. When my stock tires wore out I switched to Bridgestone T30s. They are good for both longer tire life and weekend mountain runs.

Is that a silencer installed?

Hey Al, welcome to the forum, I'm over in Decatur and ride with a bunch of guys from all over the metro area. Looking forward to meeting and riding with ya.

Welcome, Cleveland is my hometown, I'll be there in a couple weeks for the holidays. You'll love the bike, I bought mine in september.
