The R6 is approx 20 kg lighter than an FZ6 - where has all the weight come off? Anyone got any good ideas on making the FZ6 lighter (but still maintaining the equipment, e.g. fairing)?
just go on a diet, its cheaper for you to lose 20lbs. just think of all the money you'd save on food and gas going to the store.:justkidding:
oh by the way Welcome aboard!!!
Part of the weight issue is in the subframe. We have a steel subframe where as the R6 is aluminum and is smaller than ours as well.

Third to Last paragraph, last sentence.
The die-cast technology you are refering to is how yamaha has built our chassis with no-welds. It is extreamly stiff and and an amazing design.

Hi Neil, Kumaja does make a very important pint though. Didn't the hyabusa have problems with cracking rear sub frames?But it still has a plain old fashioned steel sub-frame.
Neil. :thumbup:
I'll put this modification(one-off the sub frame) as positive expectation in the future after enjoy normal weight riding for several years.
