I would like to get the power of a R6 in my FZ6. I know they are basically the same motor. Does anyone no what the difference is? And no I don't want to buy a R6. I just sold one, to uncomfortable to ride long distances.
Here endeth the lesson, Amen.Sorry, but I'm not really "getting it" with all these "I want more power out of my FZ6" post as of late...
Want more power...don't buy a 500cc FZ6 then. sheesh.
I have to ask how long people have even had their FZ6's before they start asking this question? Are they even winding it out and/or shifting properly? Are they riding the bike to it's full potential (probably not)? If it's too slow, then upgrade to something else. Sure you can eek out some extra horses with exhaust, airbox and sproket upgrades.
"Oh but I like the FZ6 though" - Well there is always a VFR, countless BMW's, FJR or the FZ1 if you want more power while maintaining a comfy ride.
It's like people wanting their VW Bug to run like a Ferarri, but they don't want the Ferarri....they jsut want the same power and looks....
The FZ6 is what it is. It's a mid range commuter/touring bike that is very capible for what it was designed to do. Take it or leave it.

Hey, the guy is just asking a question. He might like the way the FZ6 looks and wants more power. It's his right to ask a question without someone coming down on him. And if he want more power, why not?It's his decision.

Without reading any other post...your missing the point of the initial question. The FZ6 HAS an R6 engine. A VW Bug DOES NOT have a Ferarri engine!!! His question is legit and if your going to shoot him down for trying to learn something new about this bike then shame on you. There is one simple reason we are on this site and that is the love of the FZ6, I for sure am not here to listen to the whinging (moaning) that goes on when a simple answer could answer the initial query..which I believe was answered quite politely by FRED above your very informative brain fart.
