Just bought TBE but?

You will be ok for a while, but you will need one eventually...I just bought the TBE carbon fiber, but I didn't buy the juice box.
Will there be any problems, if I don't have the juice box installed?
Thanks!
I had the same question myself last year, so I called Two Brother Racing and spoke to a technician there. They said that there would be no damage if I install a TBR exhaust without ever putting the Juice Box on. I have a TBR exhaust with the P1 power tip still in for my 2011 FZ6R and have had it on for about 20,000 miles without seeing any adverse effects. Like everyone else said, the block off plates are a must to eliminate popping.

With the FZ6R you would want a fuel controller to get the most performance out of the bike.
Block off plates and remove the AIS that connects to them. You can find it below the tank just in front of the airbox. In order to install the block off plates I recommend removing the airbox, not difficult but take your time.
Many of us have altered the exhaust or installed TBE and waited 1000 miles or many more before installing a Fuel Controller.
You may be able to find the original Juice Box, non Pro, that is preprogrammed for the exhaust fairly cheap compared to the Pro model and power commanders. It is plug n ride.
Don't sweat it. I recommend you not to ride like a juvenile always over 9k rpm. Daily commuting an cruising speeds should have no serious effect on your engine.
Just remember, a fuel controller will give you the most out of your bike.

While I agree it can be done it seems an expensive way to get better sound. I got a marthy viper and pcv for the cost of a tbe and imo it sounds and looks great. Plus the adv gear Rev b map and accel pump setting make it worthwhile. Better throttle response and an extra couple of horses. Still averaging 50mpg. Not trying to bag on our or anyone else that goes this route, just saying there are other options. It's especially true now that martin offers a DIY kit.I had the same question myself last year, so I called Two Brother Racing and spoke to a technician there.
