It's going to cost you a lot of money if it's even possible to add it to this bike.4 better breaking and more secure......
I get that attitude, and the sense of pride of "handling your bike." But at the same time... The only times a newer rider will be able to "hone" those skills would be in a situation where they'd need to use it. So maybe he's trying to avoid that situation. Which makes sense.I'd rather just keep my bikes simple (no abs/traction control) and learn the skills and abilities to drive the bike itself without relying on assistance.

Honestly, if you're going to be in traffic all the time, a sportbike is probably not the right place to put your money. They can be used in stop-and-go traffic, but they are not much fun, and really not optimized for that kind of riding.thnx everybody ,
in my country where I live and drive is too complicated to drive smooth and calm,so u have to brake almost in every moment,sometimes hard cuz of stupid other drivers of the car do,sometimes due to some animals crossing streets,and we dont have any highways believe it or not,thats the reason i am asking about putting some kind of ABS from fz6 or xj6 or any kind so i would be safe and cool during driving.thnx ppl
I'd add that ABS is probably not going to make that huge a difference in those situations in the first place. It is optimized to assist you in rapid stops on slick surfaces, where you might otherwise lose control due to a skid. It can't hurt much in other situations, but if you're counting on it to save you when the problem is that your conditions don't allow sufficient reaction time to stop, then you're eventually going to be unsatisfied. A small, lightweight bike or scooter that is optimized for swerving out of the way is likely to be a far better idea.Honestly, if you're going to be in traffic all the time, a sportbike is probably not the right place to put your money.

To those who realise there is a world outside the United States, most of these markets sell this bike as standard with ABS (Australia) or as an option (Europe).Virtually impossible to retrofit ABS systems to vehicles that they are not designed for. There are just too many variables, and too many sensor inputs required that the bike just doesn't have and isn't designed to accommodate.
Lucky the FZ6R isn't a pure Sports bike then and probably a great compromise between comfortable commuting and spirited riding.Honestly, if you're going to be in traffic all the time, a sportbike is probably not the right place to put your money.

Didn't notice he was outside the US, or my answer would have been slightly different.To those who realise there is a world outside the United States, most of these markets sell this bike as standard with ABS (Australia) or as an option (Europe).

Yes it would be possible. But the cost and effort involved would be prohibitive.
The Yamaha website for Kosovo (here, I think) says that the XJ6 is available with ABS there. Isn't that basically what you're looking for?
Well, if you've got it on it's way already, then there's not much you can do but enjoy it.I just bought and fz6r 2009 from canada,so now is late for ordering an new one.
I think this has been brought up before, but I'll add it again anyways...I'd rather just keep my bikes simple (no abs/traction control) and learn the skills and abilities to drive the bike itself without relying on assistance.
