I wasn't sure whether to make a new thread or bring this one back to life! I decided it was better this way as all the obvious statements about peoples' habits have already been voiced!On a side note, does anyone know if Yamaha sells gear kits for the R6? They used to for the FZR400s and 600s. They were aimed at the racer who wanted to set up specific gearing for a given track. I'd love to have a 6th that is 5 to 7% taller.
I was wondering it it's possible to just change the cog on the 6th gear to make it into a REAL economy gear so I can cruise along at 70mph at 4000 rpm instead of 70rpm! I don't mind having to shift down a gear to accelerate away but I ride on the motorway every day to work and I'd like a smoother and quieter ride!
Are there any options for this? I don't want to change the sprocket as I'm perfectly happy with the acceleration on the first 5 gears. It's just the 6th gear I want to change...
