    ECU Flash or Dynojet Fuel Map

    I don’t agree with the tech. You need to tune the bike or get a map and run it through either a fuel controller or a PCV. However, a better option would be to get the device mentioned above installed on your bike and then go to the dyno and get it tuned for its own map. It will only improve...

    Possible Fuel in Oil Issue

    Thanks for posing guys, that does add some peace of mind. I drained a little oil out and have since been watching it like a hawk and haven't noticed any new increase in oil level.

    Possible Fuel in Oil Issue

    Ok, so I've done a bunch of oil changes on my bike and I am meticulous about making sure its topped off right on the line. I've put about 300 miles on the bike after the most recent oil change and after riding it the other day, I noticed oil at the drain bolt (just a tiny bit) and oil at the oil...

    Bike decelerates with and without engine light on

    I would say it’s a battery issue. I’ve had a couple very strange issues with my bike in the past and both times it ended up being a battery problem. One time the battery was low in voltage and the other time the terminals needed to be tightened.

    When to Realistically Perform Valve Adjustment?

    Thanks for the input guys. I've ridden my bike hard from time to time but it's nothing regular. I did remove the valve cover on it back in May and the timing chain was nice and tight so I think I'm good on the tensioner for now plus I don't have any initial racket other than the clutch basket...

    When to Realistically Perform Valve Adjustment?

    To you guys who are mechanics and/or have higher mileage...when should I perform a valve adjustment? I got just over 10k miles on my 09. Manual says 20k+ but is that realistic? I think it should be done sooner...thoughts?

    Black Widow Headers: How Do They Work?

    Yes you would need to run a fuel map on a power commander fuel controller or PCV to compensate for it.

    Exhaust question!!

    Yes that is the correct number. Installation is easy. Run it from the rear seat and through to the fuel injector plugs from the wiring harness. It’s all just plug and play. After that, you just need to hook up the pcfc to a laptop via USB and then upload your map to it and that’s it. Ride easy...

    Exhaust question!!

    You really should at least get a power commander fuel controller. I use that myself and run both Marthy's sport map and the 2 bros map from PC.com (as recommended by their tech). Without the pcfc or pcv, you'll be running lean = not good. I got my PCFC for $199 shipped and it was pretty easy to...

    Trouble Starting In Afternoon

    That's a good amount of mileage. You might want a Yamaha tech run though it because at that point it could be almost anything causing that issue.

    Trouble Starting In Afternoon

    Mine just started doing this where I would start it and it would die in 2 seconds. Would stay it again and it would happen again. Third try it runs fine. I change my fuel map which I’ve been running for a couple months now without any issues back to stock and it fires right up. Checked timing...

    09 FZ6R Restyled

    Lol, the paint does add on a few hp! When painting the satin black on, I wet sanded it between 3 coats. I then used 2000 grit sandpaper on the final coat and wet sanded it very lightly to smooth it out. Once it dried, I applied satin clear coat over it to protect it. It worked out very well but...

    09 FZ6R Restyled

    After seeing what you did with the tail, I went ahead and did the same thing. Absolutely love it. Primed, wet sanded and went with a satin finish but after so much wet-sanding it looks semi-gloss.

    Throttle Bodies Won’t Come Off - Help

    Hey Guys, Edit: I got them off. The clamps had to be loosened way more than I orginally thought. I wondering though now: do I have to sync them upon reinstalling them?

    Love the black tail. I couldn’t help it and had to go and mine too now. Lol.

    What is this part?

    I went with a Driven Racing 15 tooth steel sprocket. It was pretty easy to swap out and gives a nice kick to lower rpm torque. Definitely glad I did it. I also did the 3 degree advanced timing mod so with both of those combined, it gets up pretty good now. Good bank for the buck mods.

    What is this part?

    I had to loosen that part and pull it out about 1/2 an inch so I could remove the front sprocket with the chain around it because I didn't want to break my chain in order to upgrade the sprocket. If that piece didn't come off I wouldn't have had enough clearance because the chain links were...

    What is this part?

    Hey guys, I had to remove this part and then put it back on (the part my finger is touching). What is that? I hope it was just a simple pull off and put back on piece and not some 'handle with care' kinda piece. Please let me know.

    Timing change....Do it!

    Man I was looking forward to completing this today but I received the wrong gasket in the mail. I must've been looking at my screen cross eyed when I order it. Anyway I order the correct one today and it's supposed to be here Thursday. Can't wait to do this mod! I'm going to do the 15T sprocket...
