Hello, I have a question about replacing the headers on a Yamaha XJ6 2010. Maybe someone has encountered this and knows if it is possible to properly adapt a used Yamaha FZ6 S2 07-10 header? I am trying to find an option because I believe it will sound better and it is cheaper.
I was thinking about getting more power from my XJ6 and saw the fz6 and the xj6 has almost the same motor. By the redline difference and the power output i think it's the cam that change but can i just change all the cylinder head from one to the other and a map ?
Figured I'd start a thread here to document the progress of my bike as I keep working on it.
I bought my 2015 FZ6R in 2022 as my very first bike with about 12,000 miles on it. Initially, I bought it just to save on gas commuting during the summer and left it stock my whole first season riding.
Until the Temp of the bike reaches at least 75C(167F) the throttle response is awful and I'm pretty much unable to blip the throttle on downshifts since revs bog down after 3k RPM
Do you guys have the same behaviour on your bikes?
Hello good people of this forum,
I've newly acquired a 2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion with 23000KMs which is pretty much the same as the good ole FZ6R
Seems to be alright so far and it does put a smile on my face every time I see it
However ,it does have one issue which is bugging me

Well hello from Australia again.
You know I had my Red Xj6 up all ready sale, then the Victorian government went and introduced this new "GLS" bullshit, meaning a new rider like myself is limited to the "lams" approved, or (A2 for you poms) bikes for 3years now instead of 1.
Not that I...
Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can buy a gear shift pedal from for a 2010 XJ6? I recently dropped my bike and bent the shift pedal about 90 degrees rendering it total useless.
The only one I can find that I think would fit is on Ebay but it looks like its been through a war
