By the time you're done, you'd probably spend more than it would cost to buy a completely new bike. It's not just the motor, it's everything around it. Exhaust is definitely different and I'm guessing that a whole bunch of other stuff changed as well. Might not even be able to fit it into the frame without structural mods.I happen to be reading this what does a.fz6 motor and ecu cost? Cause that would be a coo mod.
Well, I'm sure it would be an adventure. But swapping engines on motorcycles isn't always like taking the I-4 out of an Acura and mounting it in a Civic. Car manufacturers tend to be really good about keeping the mounts similar across all cars in their line so they can offer all sorts of engine/body combinations in different geographies or sometimes with different names. With motorcycles where the engine is a stressed member of the frame, they often need to be far more unique. Even when the internals are mostly the same, you end up with some different parts. Unless you really know what you're doing and really know both engines, you're just asking for unexpected surprises.Was just wondering since I came across the thread for as much as i miss the power of my r1 I'm happy with my FZ6r for now.
:rof:bhahaha!!! Sooooo True...butttttNitrous is the cheapest option of all
Ya the fz6r is just a baby 600...but it sure is cute:rof:Just get an FZ6 or FZ8. Personally, I LOVE the looks of the FZ6R. I'm coming from a naked bike and stepping up 20hp. If I didn't care about looks and/or cared more about power, FZ8 looks badass and has the power to back it up. Plus you will get the more upright ergos you bought the 6R for instead of SS ergos.
Buy the whole bike it's only 3500~4000 at this point.I happen to be reading this what does a.fz6 motor and ecu cost? Cause that would be a coo mod.
I agree power is not everything and your 6R is fine for now,,,,but it will still runs rings around just about any cruiser out there.Was just wondering since I came across the thread for as much as i miss the power of my r1 I'm happy with my FZ6r for now.
and any 250I agree power is not everything and your 6R is fine for now,,,,but it will still runs rings around just about any cruiser out there.
:rof: Yeah you are absolutely correct. I just found the 6R at times was a bit heavy to move around,especially wth a full tank. Good point..I had a good chuckle...and any 250
