    Torque wrench question - technical?

    I agree too, it won't change anything.

    Just remember that reaction times are only important if you are actually racing. You can sit at the line for 10 seconds and still run a 12.30 pass. The clock doesn't start until you trip the starting line beams.

    Drag Racing the FZ6R

    Yeah Sounds like you got the right idea. I wasn't going all out for my runs, just a fun night trying to win some races. Speed shifting can absolutely save some time, I got the occasional missed shift doing it with the 6r on the street and like I said I wanted consistency to win races. I don't...

    Drag Racing the FZ6R

    You have nothing to gain by lowering the tire pressure in the rear. The 6r will not spin at the track with standard psi. You would actually lose e.t. since the low pressure would casue more drag/friction on the track. I would do as marthy suggested and bump up the front tire to decrease...

    Put Up Or Shut Up

    125-130mph seems to be the general concensus. 6th gear on redline put me at 126 on a flat road. Not electronically limited, just gearing/power limited.

    Changing oil and washing cars

    It's just faster for the factory to use rivets. I always just drill the rivets out and then replace em with short bolts/nuts. You should use some loctite on them too so they don't vibrate loose. I can't say 100% that it will work for your car but I have done it a few times on other cars.

    There are two types of riders...

    I rode for 6 years 16-22 on 5 different bikes and never once laid one down at speed. I had ALOT of really close calls, I slid the back tire in panic several times, spun 180 degrees in the snow on my ninja 250, ran off the road twice, had a guy stop in the middle of the road and almost backed...

    Feeler: FS - 2009 Yamaha FZ-6R Blue (So Cali)

    Don't get discouraged so easily. I sold my FZ in 2 days but the year before It took me 6 months of constant craiglisting to sell my R1, But I sold it for only $100 off my asking price. (I started advertising at the end of the season) One thing I always do on CL with a bike is start out $500 over...

    ContourHD 1080p

    I just mounted mine to the left side of my helmet. I used the mount that comes with the camera. It's tricky with some odd shaped hemets but it worked for me. I actually mounted it on the edge of the visor since that was the only flat spot on the helmet. If I put my visor up, I get a great video...

    FZ6R Sightings

    In my year and a half of ownership, I've never once spotted another FZ6R on the road or even a non dealer parking lot. That's kinda odd.

    **SOLD** F/S 2009 FZ6R heavily modded

    I just sold my bike yesterday. 09 raven with 3800 miles. $4450 cash. I listed it on CL for $4900 with must sell in the title. 48 hours later the bike was gone. Sold it to a guy from Elizabethtown PA. Mine was almost dead stock though. Modded bikes can bring good money, you just have to wait for...

    Should I Move out?

    Well I just went back and reread all of these comments. So much good info in here! Some huge changes for me have happened in the last few weeks. Our shop is now closed (my choice). I am in the process now of listing most of our big equipment on craigslist and rounding up all of our inventory to...

    Sold my FZ6R

    Its a Twin Turbo AWD car. It has been my dream car since I was a little kid, I'm a huge Mopar fan and this is the closest I'll ever get to a Viper (my true fantasy dream car!) I stumbled upon it on ebay and snatched it up for what I thought was a good deal. It has alot of issues but I still love...

    Sold my FZ6R

    Sold the 6R today. I've got mixed feelings yet. I'm glad I have the money but I know I'll be missing it this spring. I'm moving and needed cash and the bike was worth the most $$$ and the least used lately. I'll def. keep lurking on the forums as I have been for the last year and a half. This is...

    For Sale - Handlebar Risers (SW-Motech)

    Well I'm selling my bike so I took these off to sell seperately. Used for about a year. They are in excellent usable condition although I did put a few marks in them when my pliers slipped off the rag I was using to hold them. No modifications required. All your hoses and wires have enough slack...
