G'day Guys and Girls,
I have a 2005 FZ6 with about 29000kms on it.
Now, as I'm a fat prick, I am looking to upgrade the forks, on a budget.
I have been looking at some springs and there was a site linked somewhere in here, that told me I need 1mm/kg (or something) springs that would cost be roughly $120ish.
Now, I would be syphoning/sucking the oil out of the forks on the bike (which seems to have been successfully done by others) and adding a different weight of oil too.
So, based on the much stiffer springs, would you recommend 15w? (can I get 10w?)
I think the 5w would make it too bouncy.
Also, I am looking at either buying a Power Commander (for about $350) & dynotune ($300) or getting the ECU flashed ($600). Both methods seem to have their benefits - the PCIII/V will let me adjust the mapping etc down the track, whereas the ECU flash does more, but can not be changed without another $600 reflash.... (though I doubt I'll need to change it?)
Any and all advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Rick
