2009 R6S Forks - Upgrade?

[burnt_toast]

In short: My FZ6 has leaky fork seals. Have a friend who recently bought a 2009 Yamaha R6S, who plans to replace his front with R1 forks. SO his R6S forks may be available, however one of them is leaking too.

Would the R6S forks be an upgrade over stock 2004 FZ6 forks? They're both conventional, but are the internals different to warrant the swap for any performance gain?

Plan to tryseal mate first, then swap seals if need be. But this option just came up and I'm curious. Let me know what you guys think, cheers

Lots of use full information on this if you search the forum.

In short, it's a huge upgrade.

I just did it myself and it made a massive difference.

Since yours is an 04, you'll also need his calipers too. And the axle.

I've got a set waiting to go on my 07 when I get some time

To the OP:
I have a set of calipers that I will be posting for sale soon. They are off an 07 R6S. PM if you're interested.
