I may be wrong on this,but I,m pretty sure I read on here that the R6 motor wont fit,the mounting points are different.
The only mod i've done is a smaller back sprocket. Wn i went to collect instead of tandard, they had 2 up and 2 down, i went for the smaller, hoping for longer legs.
Big mistake, the F6 is really well designed as an all rounder, and the "longer legs" just don't work, you don't have the torque at high end.
It's just such a well balanced bike, i'm fully with those who reckon improve your skills first!!!

actually, the FZ6 is rated at 98hp at the crank. on a rolling dyno, most people see 85-89hp at the tire.
Here's an '04 R6 and a FZ6 lump side by side for comparison.I suppose you could use the FZ casings and stick the R6 internals inside.
I just looked at my application for title that was supplied by the dealer. It says SAE 124 HP for my 2008 FZ6.
What's the difference between SAE horsepower and the other measuring methods?
No sir, those are carbs on top of that engine. That is older than a 2004. It is a 99-02 engine most likely or possibly a YZF600R engine.

Oops! My bad !
I googled '04 R6 engine and it came up with that..
Didn't notice the carbs.I still reckon you could use the FZ6 cases if you built up a motor
your pic IS correct IMO. :thumbup:
you are right. My bad pwned myself. we so rarely deal with that generation of R6 at work I had completely blocked it from my memory. That CV thing is pretty gay though.
Does seem goofy! 2004-2005 models have them, 2006+ have ECU controlled slides (from what I see in the parts catalog). I am not sure why they use them on the R6 and not on the FZ6, my only guess is that the throttle bores are bigger on the R6 and they use the secondary slides for better/smoother control. Or maybe something to do with cams or other airflow differences between the two.
Looking at it,does that mean it may well bolt in?
Well, i will weigh in on this little debate!
Horsepower obsession is a "natural" thing, it is human nature to want more, and in some of us, the urge to have, or create "more" is stronger than in others.
It would'nt matter to some people, what it was with a motor in it, bike, car....lawnmower, some will just wanna make it "faster"!!!
Those that are more specifically looking for more horsepower from their FZ6, are not generally suffering from "R6 envy", they just wanna extract "more" from their chosen steed!
Wanting more HP doesnt mean you really want an R6!!!:thumbup:
Like you, I dislike the, "why didn't you just get an r6?" question, there are too many reasons to list why I chose the FZ6 over the R6.
