This summer I put on a 15 tooth front sprocket only and here is what I observed; higher rpm's that allow for a quicker response in lower speeds, 10% speedometer error (reads higher speed than actually traveling), no decrease in gas mileage, very small increase in ability to bring up the front...
I started with a Ninja 250, went to a FZ6, FZ8 would be a nice step up the ladder. Especially if it was a little brother to the R1's cross-plane shaft engine!
Listened to the news a little bit ago and this is what I can recall; at about 2:30am he backed out of his driveway, ran over a fire hydrant, into a tree. His wife came out of the house smashed the back window with a golf club to get him out and when the police arrived he was laying in the road...
Hi Joe,
It seems like you have done alot in the way of increasing the performance of your bike. I also have tweaked my bike to get the most bang for my buck. I installed aftermarket pipes, a K&N air filter, a front sprocket -1 tooth standard from stock. The one thing I added to marry the...
When I was looking into what type of aftermarket exhaust I wanted, I went to YouTube and watched videos with audio for FZ6's that had installed exhaust such as Leo Vinci, Two Brothers, Scorpion etc. Ended up I had Scorpions installed. I liked the way they sounded when I heard them on the web.
Haven't ever run on a 1/4 mile drag track. I have a 2007 and did some performance mods to include; Scorpion Exhaust, Power Commander, K & N Filter, Air box mod, and a new front sprocket with one less tooth than stock. The key things I observed by replacing the front sprocket were that the front...
This weekend I dropped one tooth on my front sproket and my observations are that the bike is quicker due to the higher rpm's it now takes to go the same speed with the stock sprocket, the speedometer is off by about 10% (displays faster than actual speed), and running through the gears fast the...
I am moding a 2007 FZ6 also. I have added a K&N filter, Scorpion exhaust, and a power commander. The remaining performance mods I plan on completing are modifying the airbox lid, installing a 15 tooth front sprocket, and remapping the power commander due to modifying the airbox lid. Other than...
A K&N air filter, K&N oil filter, modify your airbox cover (free, look how to on forum), advhesive tank pad protector to protect the paint on your tank from belt buckle scratches etc., colored wheel striping, yellow colored tire marker to fill in the letters on your tire wall giving it a diff...
Looks like you got it for a good price with some aftermarket accessories. I'm in Franklin PA and just joined this site over the last year. I had my bike out cleaning it the other day and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I was finished it started raining. I'm looking forward to taking it out...
