    Interesting fact about the R6 forks

    Talking to Steven Casaer (from bikesetup, the guy really knows what he's talking about - Pro level), about the R6 fork swap. He said changing the forks would require a full rebuild to make it match to the big difference in weight and balance point. And I was better off with my Ohlins springs...

    R6 Brakes - Lets Talk Numbers

    2 lines from the MC to the calipers is the best setup. It might not look as clean ... but who cares. And for the guy's who want to change their MC, make sure you get the right bore. The bigger the bore, the less movement you need to make with the lever. But also the less feel you get. Riding...

    R6 Brakes - Lets Talk Numbers

    If you have a 2005 FZ6, then you'll have the 2 pot calipers. So using the standard R6 MC isn't such a great idea. The R6 is using 4pot's so it needs a different MC than an 2pot setup. I know you can buy a Radial Nissin MC diam 17, which is more suited for a 2pot setup. The most radial MC...

    Casey Stoner on his way back?

    I'm not quite a fan of Stoner, more in favour for Nicky Hayden ... purely because he has number 69 (and his funny accent) ... I'm not bull****ting hahaha :thumbup: And Melandri for running so good on an inferiour bike. But he has a lot of talent, enough te be a world champion again. So it...

    Fz6/gsxr thread

    Yup ... so true ... Nothing beats killing an 1098s on the track with my fz6 ... hahaha. That guy thought the experienced group ment, the group with the most expensive bikes :Flip:. And all in all ... the FZ6 is a very nice handeling/power bike for it's price. If only I had the 4 pot...

    What gear do you honestly use?

    Dainese Full leather, Arai helmet, Kangeroo Gloves, Astar Boots and Dainese protection vest (back and chest). For short slow trips I somethimes ride in jeans and normal shoes. I really adapt my riding pase on the gear I have on. Everybody choses their gear themselfs. Me I like my skin...

    My boy went to the dark side ..

    This is kinda pointless. Sure the GSX-R 750 is a better sportsbike, it's disigned to be and it cost new almost double the money off an FZ-6.

    Help! anyone has mapping to recommend for PCIII

    80hp ... you need to find a good tuner, because those aren't good numbers. Or get a setting from the dynojet site.

    BMW F800R Chris Pfeiffer Stunt Replica!

    Not a bad bike. Rode it for a day ( the f800s), quite a nice engine and handling.

    bike shifts better when chain is well lubed?

    You guy's are like hardcore chain specialist ... :rockon: I lube quite often, never clean. If it's @ a good tension and aligned it's all good for me.

    Some pictures from the track.

    No valtermoto tipo 1 rearsets, the cheapest version. Non adjustable. The extra grip alone was worth the price. Yeah, maybe. The problem is ... you just can keep on modding the FZ6 making it more track oriented. But in the long run ... it's crazy to spend all that cash on the bike ... I...

    Some pictures from the track.

    Thanks a lot guy's. And I have "cheater" peggs. :D Rearsets from valtermoto, but they don't change the position that much from stock. There not adjustable like the expensive types. But enough to get more angle for track. I touched once, from then you know how deep you can go by feeling with...

    Some pictures from the track.

    Went on a track day with the old FZ6. Some guy was taking pictures and selling them, so I scanned the lot ... to share with the world. :D Had fun. But I might get a more track oriented bike next year. We'll see. There on my fotopage...
