    Frame Sliders

    The bike already had them when I bought it, so I don’t know what brand they are or anything. I found out that they are different lengths, which is interesting. The longer one was on the left side. But both metal parts are bent, so I’m going to try to hunt down something similar to replace them.

    Frame Sliders

    So I sold my 2012 FZ6R to help pay for school... but then a deal I couldn't refuse on a 2009 popped up (that I could afford while in school), so I'm fixing it up. I have several parts on the way already, but I'd also like to replace the beat up frame sliders. The links I've found on here no...

    Sprocket Question

    For the most part, I like it. It's not a very extreme gearing change. It's technically faster than the stock gearing, but for me one of the biggest benefits was that it fixed a factory discrepancy in the speedometer. The speedo said it went 125-130 before I switched, and that's what it does now...

    Sprocket Question

    For the most part, you can't really go wrong with the OEM sprockets. I bought my bike with the stock sprockets and went +1 on the front sprocket to take some strain off the engine when cruising at higher speeds. I went with Vortex. I've run them on dirt bikes previously and been pleased. 800...

    2014 FZ6R Exhaust Question

    I have a 2012 FZ6R and I got a good deal on a used Delkevic system. It's the full system w/ the 8" round stainless muffler. Besides that, I have done no other performance mods (yet lol). I run it with the baffle and it does just fine. It does pop a little on decel, but the Delkevic website does...

    Need Help Neutral safety switch

    If it's the kickstand switch/wiring, it should still crank and start in neutral, right? Have you confirmed that having it straight wired (closing the circuit) is 'kickstand up'? For example, in my car the clutch switch wiring seems opposite. Pressing the switch opens the circuit. So if I want to...

    Another mpg post

    Riding style and type make a huge difference, especially on bikes that aren't that powerful. For example, I weigh like 190-200lbs geared up and with a backpack. My commute is about 45 miles round trip. If I take the freeway for about 30 miles of it (going about 80mph), I get around 42 mpg. If I...

    New to me Fz6r

    The Delkevic website says that the full exhaust system is compatible with the center stand. I haven't tried it, though

    2012 FZ6R Maintenance

    I've run Vortex sprockets on dirt bikes and they've held up very well. I assume they'd work just as well in this application. What size sprockets are on there now? Stock is 16 front, 46 rear. You're welcome to do whatever you please with your bike, but they're already geared a little low if you...

    Clutch Recommendations

    I've had my 2012 FZ6R for about a month now, and I've been loving it! It's been getting me to and from work (about 40 miles round trip) very reliably every day. But today I got about 15 minutes into my commute when the clutch started slipping. I pulled over to look over the clutch cable and make...

    Quite bike

    Delkevic also sells a full exhaust system for our bikes. It is a cheaper option than two brothers or the other big brands. I got mine (w/ the 8" stainless round muffler) used but practically brand new for about half MSRP. Some say that it sounds a little raspy, but I like it just fine. It's...

    Delkevic exhaust observations?

    I should dig around more underneath the seat. It's possible that there's something tucked away. The previous owner removed the side fairings, so there's nothing hiding there. My headers don't have the o2 sensor installed. It wasn't on the stock exhaust either. I saw some empty plugs underneath...

    Delkevic exhaust observations?

    I got a good deal on a Delkevic exhaust system and put it on my bike recently. It's the 8" round stainless steel one, if that is any different than yours. The idle is a little loud, but I don't think it's obnoxious. I leave for work at 5:30 am and haven't gotten any complaints about pulling it...
