    Items for sale

    Are the mirrors still up for sale? I wouldn't mind grabbing them if they're the 04-08 ZX6R ones.

    Doing my first oil change soon? Thoughts?

    They should be pretty common and easy to get your hands on. You can get something fully adjustable or restricted to a size. If you're using it for another vehilce, like a car or something, an adjustable on would do you better in the long run. Otherwise sizes are based off diameter of the filter...

    Doing my first oil change soon? Thoughts?

    Congrats on the new bike! As for oil, I use Motul 5100 10w40. I found that this viscosity worked well for the temperature variation you get with year-round riding. I use my bike to get to work, about an hour trip each each way, so I get where you're coming from. But AMSOIL is a great choice...

    Making the FZ6R/XJ6 Derestrictor Plate

    Just installed the plate, it fits perfectly. Mounted and held the throttle cables just like the OEM. Massive props to Samwich, you've done a killer job!

    Which chain lube are you using?

    I use Silkolene Titanium chain lube. I don't feel like it keeps your chain lubed for as long as others, but it's not crazy sticky so it's easier to put on and strip off when cleaning. Apparently it also works best on a cold chain too, so you don't need to worry about warming your chain when...

    r6 backend swap on fz6r ?

    I know this thread is a bit old, but it's got me curious. The bikes in the seconds pick are definitely FZ6R's, the swingarm, frame and tank are the same as our bikes. But I can't for the life of me figure out where those fairings are from, they don't seem to match any R6 year model. If it's a...

    USB phone charger parts and install

    The red wire from the battery tender must be connected to the battery, otherwise you won't get any power. Install the battery tender as you normally would, but include a relay in the red (positive) wire in between the fuse and the quick-disconnect plug. The yellow wire from the relay must be...

    USB phone charger parts and install

    I had a similar problem when installing heated grips on the girlfiend's MT-07. You'll need to install a relay connected to a hot lead, like your number plate light. I used a posi-tap to splice into the existing system and it worked a treat. Placement of the relay would be exactly the same as...

    Making the FZ6R/XJ6 Derestrictor Plate

    I got the plate in the mail the other day, it looks legit! I'm going to wait until I get my full licence in January before I install it, call it superstition, but I'm confident it'll work a treat. Thanks heaps man!

    Fender eliminator

    I've got the R&G tail tidy. Bit expensive but it's pretty much the only kit that moves the plate back far enough that it won't hit the tyre when you go over a bump. Comes with stock and aftermarket indicator adapters. Yamaha XJ6 '09 Tail Tidy LP0079BK As for indicators, I've got Watsen...

    Making the FZ6R/XJ6 Derestrictor Plate

    Could do, but if it ever needs to be changed back I'd like to have it on hand. And for $20, why not?

    Making the FZ6R/XJ6 Derestrictor Plate

    I was planning on getting one of these from Resart when I get my blacks in January, but it's a bit of a rip off. I'd be down for one of yours, absolutely.
