It bolts to the engine on left side a couple inches forward of the top rear mount. The harness was totally covering it. I had to have the local service manager look it up. I washed, waxed, registered and insured it today.
Adding it lowered my insurance?????? Weird!
Runs great. I put new...
It's all done, kinda. I'm getting an intermittent error code of "19", so i will check kickstand and ECU wiring. runs great.
So here are some pics of what happened, stripped bike, new motor and completed project. my 20 yr old son is very stoked.
....oh.. new tires are on their way. I rode it...
Hey everybody...thank you!
I was starting to doubt myself. I have done engine swaps to VW bugs, HUMV's, UH-1H Huey Helicopters and M1-A1 tanks, but I still started to doubt myself.
Thanks for all your help.
I found the grounding wire....
....but, I can’t remember where to ground the battery at.
Does anybody remember? (I took this a part 15 months ago and I am old and have short term memory loss and I am old and have bad short term memory loss and I am old and have bad short term memory loss.)
Thanks for all the replies!
Had battery tested before installing after 18 hours of trickle charge and found it to be excellent.
The neutral light does not come on when in neutral.
With the kickstand up with run mode, starter button does nothing.
When I pull the clutch in, I hear a click and...
It does make a difference.
"The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating (igniting). In broad terms, fuels with a higher octane rating are used in high performance gasoline engines that require higher compression ratio"
Since the FZ6/R6 engine is...
I am down to the last 4 wires on an engine swap and i am at a work stoppage.
Does any one remember which wire goes where in the ignition coils. I got the two right and two left, but which position for which color?
The schematic doesn't specify.
Thank you in advance.

Re: What Octane gas do you use? // w details as to why!
I bought the bike new and used Chevron 91+ all 69,000 miles on it. It is an R6 engine with a red-line of 14,000 RPM. I felt no need to be cheap since it was only a $0.20 to $0.40 a gallon difference, which was $1 to $2 difference each...
Russell seats are the best no doubt, but are usually cost prohibitive. I bought a Shad comfort seat and it is way better than stock and I didn't need a 2nd mortgage to buy it. Here is mine and an add I found today. The comparison picture shows you the difference. Much better for road trips, but...
I like the helmet locks. How much? I just did a round trip to Texas and back 1343 miles each way. I was there for three months to help a brother in-law with his start up Construction business. I did a lot of weekend road trips while I was there. I added an exhaust system to the FJR for under...
I retired this bike and this is the last trip to Phoenix before it died. Now I just put a low mileage engine in it and will start the assembly for my son.
I bought two eBay mufflers for $205. Then I ordered mid pipes from Delkevic for $170 for my FJR1300, fit perfect. I am going to do the same for my sons FZ6. I will have to fab the hanger bracket, but should be easy. I like the look of the pipes too. Here are some pics with my son's FZ6 in the...
