hi
started this thread to accumulate all opinions on our fz6 front fork mods. (actually, at the same time, ask if its worth for me to upgrade to r6s forks when i have ohlins fork springs on my fz6 2007?)
what have riders done so far: (sorry if i missed out your mod, or those who were the original/first riders whom have done so. pm me and i will include your thread. those with instructions on how-to will be appreciated by everyone.)
-fz6 with r6 inverted forks
- you need these for 03-04 r6 fork mod. courtesy of LERecords.
-2009 r6 inverted forks, radial mounted calipers.
-r6r inverted forks, radial mounted calipers
-installing r1 forks
-r6r forks doable?
at this point, can any1 tell me which r6/r1 forks are actually the same? from what i found,
r6 2001-2002: Fully Adjustable 43 mm (1.7 in) Telescopic Fork, 5.3 in (134.6 mm) of Travel
r6 2003-2004: 43 mm (1.7 in) telescopic fork w/adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping; 4.7 in (119.4 mm) travel
r6 2005-2010: 41 mm (1.6 in) inverted telescopic fork w/adjustable preload, separate high & low-speed compression damping, rebound damping; 4.7 in (119.4 mm) travel

apart from changing the whole assembly, we can also
-change to heavier fork oil
-change to ohlins at post 8., hyperpro springs
-install matris fork cartridge kit
-install ricor intiminator
-install cartridge emulators by racetech
existing thread with some reviews. i am trying to go slightly more in depth here.

4drfocus said:06-10 R6s forks are the same units as the 03-04 forks, but they have softer spring rate.
05-10 R6 inverted forks are the same as the R6r forks cause the bike they come off of is the R6"r".
