Hey guys, I guess I just kinda threw this video up and never checked back on it. I'd agree that ATGATT should be viewed at all times, but this street I was on was a 20MPH Limit, which means hardly any traffic at all. I grew up scrapin my knees and bumping my head quite a few times, so, at the...

So, it's been a couple months since I've had the PR3's, 15T front and 46T rear sprocket combo installed and I thought I'd give an update. Fuel Economy Basing this on an exact measurement from my home to work and back, I seem to have lost about 20 miles to a tank. Not horrible, but the...

I had to share just in case no one else got to enjoy this picture! I'd love to bring my bike inside to have simulated racing on a track, perfect "Starter" wouldn't you say?? Yeah I'm sure the bike is just sitting there doing NOTHING, but funny pic, nonetheless!

Well you know what they say... "Pics or it didn't happen" Lol but I think everyone is kinda getting off track with what my point was with the OP. GearingCommander.com seems way off to me on it's numbers. What if you based you findings on this website, not knowing any better, to try and...

Oh I certainly agree, but it'd be nice to have a real world number to baseline off of. With Florida being the tropical environment that it is, I haven't gotten to ride it much, but I do know how many trips to work I can make with the 16T front sprocket, and I'm pretty sure I will not hit that...

Well, if I do feel like opening it up some, I make sure it is on a long straight with no vehicles. I trust my judgement, it's everyone else's judgement I don't trust. I don't understand how it is impossible? Wide Open Throttle is just that, I never actually hit the red in 6th, it takes forever...

Yeah 15T only make that inaccuracy worse! lol I found a part of my video where I could use Google Maps and watch the odometer and for 27.1 miles it is 2.7 miles off so, ~10%. My track will make that figure much more accurate though.

Honestly, I can't tell at the moment. I'm Tracking my drives via My Tracks application for my phone to help determine my mileage but it's not accurate, I'll try to figure that out next week after my adjustments to the application and I should be pretty close. I'll inform once I know.

So, it's been a couple weeks that I have been using the -1 front sprocket. I must say, she's quite perky on the low end and I have accidentally got a small amount of air under the front tire! LOL I really didn't mean to, promise, scared me a lil... Thanks to GoPro, I have some video to compare...

Thanks for all the insight. I would definitely have to say though that hard lean angles are not a concern for me at this time. Maybe a trackday could happen on these PR3's but I really feel that I'm not yet confident enough nor have I yet aquired the proper track gear to feel safe. Thanks guys...

TYVM Turbid, I appreciate the information!

See and a friend of mine has a tire machine up to 22 inch rims, but I was very skittish setting my FZ's rims on the machine. Not to mention, I know Jack about bike tire balancing, other than I have heard of using balancing sand in the tire, I've only seen it done on Heavy Trucks and kinda...

Here's what I don't get. This is what Gearing Commander says about my selections. Stock is the bone stock as far as I can tell with all the interchangeable variables Current is what was suggested to change to when I mentioned to a Service Manager I'd like to change my gearing a lil bit. -1...

Thanks dpaul007! I've heard pretty much everyone has had no real complaints from the PR3's. I'm guessing there's not much difference in between the tires, IDK I haven't really looked into the specs. Originally, I was starting this thread because I thought that maybe I had done something...

How's that FL weather?! I'm 30, and usually have plenty of time on the weekends for a ride. I've never been on any Group Rides, but I'd like to. Feel free to drop me a PM if you are around the Okeechobee area, or Vero Beach to Port Saint Lucie area, I'll be glad to meet up and ride out...

FYI: I've dropped off the FZ6 to ARS for a rear tire swap to the PR3, chain/sprocket replacement, and a #12 code that popped up friday and had since left the FZ unrideable. Both the other subjects are unrelated, and I'm actually going to talk a little about the Chain/Sprocket on the appropriate...

100% agreed! I only looked at what i spent in gas last month, just for a very rough calculation, the being said, I spent way more time in the seat of the FZ6 than I did in the Explorer. I should've said that in the post but I didn't think about it because I knew whatever that number would...

Yeah, thing is... I mainly use the bike for commuting, because it saves buku bucks on maintenance and fuel, when compared to a 1998 Ford Explorer! Math time! 65 miles/day times 5 days a week = 325 miles a week. 325 miles/week times ~30 weeks a year = 9,750 miles a year. Depending on many...

Are there any safety concerns when using a Touring Tire on a Sportbike like the FZ6? I'd think the bike being small and light would see a significant increase in tire life when using a harder compound tire meant for a heavy touring bike. But I guess that could also be it's downfall, having that...

Okay, No... Rather not do that. I'm going to see what ARS has for some type of road hazard warranty. maybe call around see if anyone may have something like this.
