    Knee Dragging and the Law....

    It's not against the law but it sure shows your intent! On the street I ride pretty much upright. Hanging off is for the track.

    Track Day Prep

    What group are you riding in? If your C group or just getting into B group any good modern street tire is good. If you are a faster B group rider or in A group you'll want a tire like a Q3. Modern tires are very good. I've seen riders in adventure bikes with OEM tires do some amazing street...

    Is This FZ6 Worth $500 OBO?

    I bet the value cores are good.

    Upgrading the Front End

    Having done both mods; Race Tech and R6S forks, just go with the R6S forks and be done with it. It's that big of a difference.

    Moving to New Braunfels

    It's a fun little track. It can be bumpy, but it's fun. You'll enjoy Santa Maria. They have a new garage going up, and have a nice drivers lounge.

    After a hiatus, I'm back with a vengeance...

    That is one of the first things that came off of my bike. I took my wife for one ride and she refused to get back on. Then I signed her up for MSF and bought her a little Suzuki GZ250. My plan worked perfectly! :D

    R6 Cams

    Good stuff, thanks for sharing. Have you done anything to your airbox? Typically a modern stock airbox will make more power in the low and midrange than a swiss cheese one. Also the airbox of the R6 is significantly different from the FZ6. In addition to ram-air it is much larger and the...

    R6 Cams

    Yes and no. 1) The FZ6 was stock except for a PC3 & Akra slip on. 2) The Buell 1125R was dyno'd three times. Once stock with a PCV, then a full exhaust with PCV, then a custom exhaust and PCV. 3) The FZ1 was done three times, Akra slip on and PCV, Akra and Flash, then Akra, Flash and...

    R6 Cams

    That's why I like a steady state tune with a 4Gas vs. a sweep test with an O2. The steady state almost always yields a correct tune. Sweep is most usually way too fat. Of the five bikes I've dyno tuned; FZ6, Buell 1125R, FZ1, R6, and the XV920R, four of them had fuel removed - overall...

    Attention R6 Fork Riders! Settings Wanted!

    You should be close at 25mm. Sport Bike has a very detailed article on suspension set up. A Google search should find it. You'll need a buddy to help but it really transforms the bike.

    Anyone Have a R6S?

    I have an '05 R6 track bike and love it. It's not even close to stock, a former AMA super stock bike. It is a rocket ship. Even with today's 600SS bikes. Check out the WERA classifieds to get an idea of track bike prices. $5000 will get you a very nicely built bike.

    Another fz6 chain and sprocket question

    Dave Check JT Sprocket. For my project bikes I've managed to find some odd combinations thru them. Be sure to know the sprocket measurements and look outside of the FZ.

    Another fz6 chain and sprocket question

    I like the Supersprox gears as you get the best of both worlds; long wear and lighter weight.
