    Removing centerstand

    I removed last time home and hey the weight of that thing was more than expected, also the irritating hit on my heel went away and it really cleans up the look of the bike. Great mod really. Just use paddock stands with flat rubber swingarm mount and you don't even need to get fork mounts on...

    Removing centerstand

    In the meanwhile I removed it as it was touching my left heel a lot while riding, and touched the ground when low enough on the track. The weight of that stand is pretty high I was surprised... Anyway bike looks cleaner, I have a paddock stand for the bike anyway for maintenance, and on the...

    R6 Front Fork Mods

    That's a promise, I will defo post it here. Hopefully I will receive it soon. Mid July I will do 3 days on the track and check it out, and before that do a long tour (2000+ miles) to get a full feel with it. The gold valve should make a big difference as you can adjust the rebounce and...

    FZ6 Screen Poll

    I have two screens, the stock one which I use on trackdays and the Givi smoke Tourscreen for everything else, I love it to death and see no reason to use anything else unless on the track. But then again I do long mileage trips and enjoy the wind management it gives.

    R6 Front Fork Mods

    I am with MarinaFazer there, I ordered Racetech springs and emulator valves for front, and spring plus gold valve for the shock. It is not very expensive compared to say Ohlins shock and so on. It will be great to test it out, and if anyone ever manage to compare these mods it would be extremely...

    Yamaha FZ6 2008 with Arrow Exhaust

    I got the point, as I wrote before I do not encourage anyone to speed please also note I race in 750 cc and 1000 cc class with bikes however it is still not right to do so on roads. So again sorry for that, please disregard the speed and concentrate on the sound as that is what I tried to...

    Yamaha FZ6 2008 with Arrow Exhaust

    Speed, oh no worries I live in a country where the ticket for up to 200 km/h on that road is 12 US$ so no problems. I do not encourage others to speed though, and sorry if it upset anyone it was definately not the idea to do so.

    Yamaha FZ6 2008 with Arrow Exhaust

    You're right no db killers installed. And also true it's not the growl from twobros but I love the sound nice and deep on idle and screams at high revs. Very happy with it, and the bonus in my opinion is the cat replacement and not the least the mounting kit with it very sturdy.

    Why are exhausts so expensive?

    Hi there. 1. There is at least 10 different companies making aftermarket exhaust, and less than 1/2 of owners upgrade to a system, it cost a good deal of money to develop a system and then you will have a limited sale of them. So they are expensive due to this. 2. You can get 1/2 system (Arrow...

    Anybody have an Arrow exhaust?

    I got Arrow 1/2 system, (Cat replacement and slipons) Titanium one. Sound is loader and deeper than Akrapovic (my buddy got that) and it's a true race sound from it when you rev it. I highly recommend it as it looks very good on the bike and the sound is brilliant, not a rough sound as some...

    My Track bike

    As I tested the FZ6 a good bit on the track, and I found that a rearset is pretty essential if you want to use it on the track. Also stainless steel braided brake lines is something you really should do on any trackbike as well. Good luck on the track have a lot of fun :)

    What gearing do you use?

    I talked to a gearing Guru who set up load of racers and stunter's gearing on bikes, and he recommended a stage 1 520 conversion for my FZ6 and my use, no real loss in top speed as the bike will be allowed to rev higher in 6th gear and more acceleration. Downside is higher fuel consumption (as...

    Tire cuts, should I worry?

    No problem with that I ridden the tires much worse, did about 6500 km on the original set and 3 days on the track they were really burned down. But the cuts are pretty normal so I would not worry about it, if you start seeing the wear down bumps and cuts change them. But your tires look very new...
