thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it!

Is there any routine/preventive maintenance recommended on the engine for an fz6r? I probably have around 28k on my bike and to the best of my knowledge it probably hasn't had any sort of valve adjustments or anything like that. What's recommended for this bike for service of that type? I do oil...

Ok cool, thanks for the heads up guys.

So even if you "choose your bike" through the PC site for an R6 and an FZ6R, they both tell you the PC V is what you want. I assume there is an R6-specific map included on the R6 version and vice versa with the FZ6R PC, but can't those maps be overwritten with new ones, so then the hardware...

I was looking at some power commanders for sale in my area on Craigslist and they are significantly lower than a new one. Are there multiple models that will work for the FZ6R? I see a lot for R6's, would one for an R6 also work for FZ6R?

Hello, I need to replace my rear shock with a new one. What are the steps to remove it and are there any critical things I need to do to stabilize the bike when the old one is off and before the new one goes on? I couldn't find any videos or other instructions on this, only on how to remove...

Cool, thanks for the details! The bars were made for Ducati Monster by a small company in Ohio called Suburban Machinery. Those bars get a lot of attention.

You can see pics if you click on my avatar photo and then in the left column click on the photo album. I've added CRG short levers since the pics though. I also lowered my front-end about 1 inch. I've see others lower it as much as 1.5 inches, but you'll notice a handling difference at even just...

It's looking like my battery is on it's way out, was wondering if anyone recommended a specific replacement? Lead acid vs lithium ion? 09 fz6r Thanks.

Hey what's up, nice bike, I'm hoping to do the exhaust sometime in the near future and have customed my bike out a lot too. What are the fork covers you were going to use? One of my biggest complaints about this bike is the suspension, I upgraded the front internals to racetech and included the...

Hey MNGreg, I have but the suspension companies I reached out to that handle Ohlins for USA did not ever reply to me, nor was I able to source a new model for my bike from their website. I know the Racetech new suspension starts at $1k+, I'm just hard pressed to spend that much on this bike...

I'm looking for a new shock, mine has a seal leak and even on it's highest/firmest setting it feels mushy. With a second rider my license plate hits the rear wheel on bumps. I know the options to rebuild it with Racetech, but I'm also interested in a clean switch with one. Please PM me if you...

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if the OP just cut off the catalytic converter, and then welded a converter tube to it that a slip-on can connect to as he did, that seems to me it would be very similar to doing the entire Delkevic system. I'm sure there would be a weight difference...

Hey lpfm1990 - I just ordered the Michelin Pilot Power 3 tires and chose those over the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tires since they're a bit softer and the reviews said people were getting 6k mileage out of them. The 4's are a bit harder and would last longer, but they are also dual compound so you...

Are both of those inside the catalytic converter on the stock exhaust?
