Got my white FZ6R back in June and I'm Loving it!!
I've ordered the throttle bodie piece from Melb to de-restrict and hopefully its here by the end of the week. Apparently its a "do it yourself" change so i cant wait to see what extra it gives.....not that I'll be doing anything stupid.

Will let you know how it goes

I did the maths a while back. It doubles your available power from about 70kw/t to about 160kw/t. Which begs the question why the hell did they restrict it so much when 150kw/t is the LAMS limit?

If it was restricted to something like 130kw/t nobody would be looking to make this modification.

The De-restrict part arrived and took about 30 mins to install.
What a difference!!!!
Finally I'll be able to overtake when needed and hills wont be such a drag.
I'm keeping the old part and the T25 torx driver in the tool bag for a quick change if needed.

It must be more about the maximum speed you can get up to rather than the KW/T

Hi all,
New to the forum and it is really good to see so many XJ6 riders here.

I went to look at the XJ6S yesterday for my first bike. Also because it is a LAMS bike. It will be my first big bike.

My wife got a new job and we can't share the same ride in the morning with the car anymore, so that forces me to go biking...damn what a downer :steve::steve::steve:

hoping to get mine with the next two weeks ro so, can't wait

BTW: Thanks for sharing the throttle ideas. The sales guy told me yesterday there is nothing other than the throttle limitation that is different between the LAMS model and the rest. Not sure if he can be trusted...sorry sales guys

intro

hi there, I have a raven Fz6r, the restriction will be off very soon. I'm riding once a week, usually 200-300k's at a time. The bike is great fun esp in corners, the seat gets a little hard after an hour or so, but that's not spoiling the ride.

It'd be great to get some vids going.

Very happy with choice of bike :D

ride on guys, be safe

I ordered my destrictor part yesterday, so maybe early next i will get it.
I got my bike on 15 September and commute to work with it. it's about a 82km trip per day to work and back.
With the weekend Netrider forum rides and the commute, I've done 1900km already. Enjoying the bike a lot...

I bought my FZ6R (Raven) 2010 model in April of this year... a great bike but unfortunately Melbourne's weather is horrible to be able to take it for rides on the weekend without it raining! Love the bike, it's my first and a nice bike for a chick :)

Great to see more Australians representing on here, I haven't noticed too many in the threads over the past few months.

Got my XJ6S in Jan 2011 and she is currently running about 3500km's on the clock, this is my first 600cc and having been introduced to this motor with my previous bike (XJR400 -jap import) i am happy to have kept with Yamaha -she is my rocket ride.

Ride safe, gear up!
