This is a great segment on the Fz6r it shows that the bike can hang with the bigger bikes but it doesn't have to

Marthy did you go with the hypro setup?
Not yet. I just finish my cams mod and I will receive my Givi E21 by the end of the week. Got to finish those project first. Ill do it later on for sure... another 6K and i need to replafe the fluid aayway...
These are the clip on bars I am considering. The clip is exactly an inch. Just curiosi on the downside of not having the ability to add bar end weights to the bars.

I started by dropping it only 10mm and could feel a clear improvement with that. Now that I'm at 1", I'm thinking of backing it off a little (maybe to .75") and see if I can find a sweet spot.

When I hear people call the FZ6R a beginner bike.. I laugh. Then again read below..
The FZ6 Is a AWESOME Street-bike.. (Street) - Not Track! I honestly would never buy a ZX-10 Or a R1 For the street.. That is silly in my opinion.. I hope to one day beable to harness either on a track.. It is FAST in the right hands, and the right mods.. Get a Race Tek Cartiage emulator I CANT BELIEVE The magazine didn't install that.. ITS A NO-BRAINER!!!!!... What's funny is I haven't thought of lowering the tripple.. i am going to do that this weekend and see the diff. It's definitely going to shorten how tall it sits after that..
I guess what im trying to get at is.. The FZ6-r is more then capable of being a ANY use bike. and I have hit the track on mine.. I would do great in a 600 class.. But do to the fact i'd lose time in the straights overall couldnt compete to top of the like Super sport bikes totally tricked out.. Other than that.. I am going to finnish top 10 for sure out of 50
Underestimating things gets you killed.. Anything can get you killed... Remember Indian Larry (OLD Bike builder/stunter) from a 5mph motorcycle stunt
I see some sillyness in that article.. They install a full system and they don't put in a juice box? or a PC3? (remember the intake in the fz6r is basically the same as a K&N high flow intake system)- So there is no need in going K&N.. Stock is perfectly fine for this bike.- And they didn't install carditge emulators? Which are cheap and add PHENOMENAL response..
I mean they basicaly need to go all out.. Velocity stacks, PC3, Juice, Full System Exhaust- i wouldnt of gone with 2.. Though its good.. Theres a cheaper version that gives more power ill link it when i find it.. Hel you wanna go crazy- you could change the whole intake and cam on it and you got a R6.. The exhaust output is the same so I don't see why not, maybe there will be some gas/intake changes in SPRAY.. Definitly.. But besides that.. They went that far, why not finnish?
Found the exhaust..
m4 exhaust system - My buddy ran his on the dyno and gained 6 hp With a Juice box- The two brothers is more like 3.5-4.5 HP

Remember.. M4 Exhaust's are designed for TRACK USE.. (ONLY) - As most others Yoshi's and 2brothers oviously do say track use but they are no doubtly designed for Streets.. Just looking at design.. and the shape of the pipes tell you right away what they are designed for
Sorry for the edits im a horrible speller and my grammar could use some learning

All I need to say is FZ6 Cams! I have PCV, Marthy Viper Exhaust and the FZ6 Cams and the mid range is mind blowing for a 600. I went for a nice ride tonight and fix the little flat spot on the map, mostly on the bottom end for drivability. I'll be busy next week at work but I want to get my ride on the Dyno ASAP to check some numbers and most than likely Dyno tune the bike.
No flat spot, no exhaust popping just perfect... like the bike should have been delivered!

Cool, I look forward to seeing those numbers. Thanks.
very intriguing...... I'd like to see what kind of numbers you can pull out of it as well.

So I've had my front end lowered about 2 1/4" for 2 weeks now and have noticed that it likes to hit turns a lot easier. Also, this past weekend had my first ride with speeds in the triple digits and I haven't noticed any shaking. So overall, I am happy with how low I went.
So at the higher position you were having issues with some shaking at triple digit speeds? Is that what you are saying?So I've had my front end lowered about 2 1/4" for 2 weeks now and have noticed that it likes to hit turns a lot easier.

No, others were wondering if lowering the front end would cause any issues at highway (or above) speeds.
ahhhhhh, that clears it up, thanks.
Did you lower the rear too?
Thanks bro!! I love her! Yeah maybe I will go a bit lower after trying it out at this height for a while. Thanks for the input.
