Good video. I've done same exhaust,wind shield, led headlight,same tail light. Increased 1 tooth on front sprocket decreased 1 Tooth on rear sprocket this has given longer legs in each gear real good inlower gears.Dropped revs at 100kph down 700revs. Fantastic bike.
Thanks for the comment! I've definitely noticed the bike runs high in the RPM's at highway speeds so changing the sprockets is a mod I'm considering. Was that process easy for you? How much did it cost and how long did it take?
@@trax9580 got the front one made. Wasn't $100. Rear sprocket off the shelf maybe $150. Just had to adjust the chain.Of which I have now replaced at 20000kms
I love the tire hugger and exhaust. Ive been wondering how they look for my own. The tire hugger gives these back that rear visual weight they lack stock. Awesome bike.❤❤
Hey man, thank you! In this video there was no baffle in the exhaust. And no, I do not have a fuel controller or power commander. I also have a stock air filter, air box, and no block off plates. I haven't had any issues without a fuel controller, the bike feels the same power wise as it did stock. The only thing I've noticed is a lot of off throttle crackles and pops when the bike is warming up, which I like. As it gets to temp, the pops and crackles become less frequent.
Super clean, in the process of getting an ‘09 right now actually. How much did the bike itself run you? Also for the exhaust, was the install easy? Did you do it yourself?
Hey man, thanks for the comment! I got really lucky and purchased the bike from a friend for only $1,000. Market price from what I've seen around my area is about $4,000 - $5,000. Regarding the exhaust. The install took a little bit of muscle to get the headers to line up correctly on the motor. My Dad and I did the install, I would recommend having a second person to help but it seems doable solo. We assembled the majority of the exhaust off the bike and then bolted it up. Overall it wasn't too bad, took an hour or two.
Cam ignition tooth mod advance + 4 degrees super easy, add dynojet with autotune, night and day difference, soo much more response and power, stock exhaust I could tell it ran super clean and super mean just the perfect tune after all those mods, when you hear the engine note compared to stock you could tell it runs soo much cleaner and meaner
Great thorough video! Love all the mods! I agree the stock mirrors and turn signals are ugly. I got a 15' few months ago, gonna to get that black widow exhaust as here in NYC riding definitely need loud pipes lol. Thanks for the spreadsheet
Thanks for the comment! I would not recommend this bike for long rides like that. It's fine on the highway for about an hour but anything longer and it gets tiring. The bike isn't geared for highway riding, it sits around 7k rpm's in 6th at 70mph. Kind of small too so not very comfortable on long rides. I'm planning on upgrading to something bigger and more powerful in the future for that reason. Still a fun and quick bike for everything else though!
Thanks for the nice comment! Unfortunately I'm not sure what tail tidy was used because it was already installed when I bought the bike. I linked to a similar one in the spreadsheet in the video description 👍
Beautiful bike good Sir. Where at in WI do you ride? I am in Southern WI (Green County) and my favorite part of your vid is the exhaust! I have a brief 2024 ride start up at my channel, would love to connect outside of YT if you would like. Thank you.
I've had 3 of this fz6r at different points in my life. Two 2009 and a 2011... i wouldn't invest any money on them. Cut off the muffler, weld down a pipe and that's it. They are not worth it
Hey bro I know this is late, but just in future you don’t have to pay VAT if you live outside of the UK. I’ve ordered thousands in bike and car parts from the UK and never paid a single dollar of VAT
Thank you. I have no experience with tunes or a power commander for this bike but I know @RideThe6 has made some videos with a power commander that might help!
Dude you’re amazing for posting that word doc with links.
Glad it helped bro!
This was my first motorcycle and your video brought back so many memories. I wish I would’ve kept it as a keepsake.😎
That's awesome, it's a great bike
Great video! Would love another one on what it’s like to own/work on an fz6r and what to look for when purchasing one!

Very nice bike..I also ride one an get mine in 2014 and just after I got mine they went off market in South Africa.....enjoy riding we are now family.
Thank you, ride safe!
That exhaust colour matches perfectly. great choice!
Thank you so much! I loved the detail and organization of this video and we have the same bike so even better!! 🥰
That's awesome! Thank you for your nice comment. Ride safe!

Thanks for the comment! That's a great way to describe it, the tire hugger definitely balances out the bike.
Super clean
Nice bike man! I have a 2013. Do you have the baffle left in on the exhaust? Did you have to do a PC or any other fuel controller?

I just brought the black widow for fz6r and I love it.
Good choice! It's definitely the best bang for the buck that I've seen.

Great video and cool bike man! Where in Wisconsin are you? I've been to Madison, Middleton, and Lodi 6 times last year.
Thank you! I'm near Milwaukee, definitely harder to find twisty roads around here but still nice riding.
Beautiful bike!!
It's great, got the same bike and i love it
Absolutely love the look of that bike thanks for uploading Great video 👍👍
You're welcome! Thanks for the nice comment!
Bike look super clean!! I’m getting one tm! It got low miles only 1,500 💪🏾
Yo that's exciting dude, glad to hear you're getting one! What year is the one you're getting?
@@trax9580 I got a Yamaha 2009 Yamaha fz6r 🤘🏾same color like yours

That's dope! I was curious on how tuning could improve the bike after the exhaust mod. Thanks for sharing!
U should do a video on installing the black widow exhaust and the fender eliminator !
I wish I recorded both of those installs when I did them but unfortunately I don't have any footage of that.
Great thorough video!

Hey thanks for the nice comment! Ride safe!
Cool video. Would a bike like that be good on the expressway? Could you ride it state to state on a bike like that?

@@trax9580Thank you very much for the advice. I look forward to see more videos and take care
Stay healthy !!!
Wow I didn't know this bike looked so much alike the XJ6 DIVERSION S
Which tail tidy did you use? Bike looks amazing!
Thanks for the nice comment! Unfortunately I'm not sure what tail tidy was used because it was already installed when I bought the bike. I linked to a similar one in the spreadsheet in the video description 👍
What's wrapped around the front fork seal cover? Looks like a sponge with zip ties.

Thank you! I'll hit you up if I'm ever in the area
@@trax9580 Sounds fun, one question on the exhaust, did you have to install any full maps components after the exhaust replacement?
Nice bike dude.
Thank you bro
i have the 2010 nice bike to ride is it safe to run it on 98 octane fule
I've had 3 of this fz6r at different points in my life. Two 2009 and a 2011... i wouldn't invest any money on them. Cut off the muffler, weld down a pipe and that's it. They are not worth it
I can see that point of view. For a first bike I've enjoyed the upgrades but not something I'm planning on doing much more to.
Do you need a tune for the exhaust?
Hey thanks for the comment! You don't need a tune. I'm not running one and I haven't noticed any difference.
Hey bro I know this is late, but just in future you don’t have to pay VAT if you live outside of the UK. I’ve ordered thousands in bike and car parts from the UK and never paid a single dollar of VAT
Thanks for letting me know! Should've looked more into that when I bought the exhaust then!
Where did you get the mirrors??
Hey Cameron. I believe I got them off eBay. I linked to a similar one on Amazon in the spreadsheet in the description.
Your wicked a s to do you know of where I can get a tune for a fz6r pc5 ?
Thank you. I have no experience with tunes or a power commander for this bike but I know @RideThe6 has made some videos with a power commander that might help!
What temperature do you get to in 70 degree weather the bikes
The bike stays around 170 - 180 degrees when riding and creeps a little over 200 when I'm sitting still.
@@trax9580 ok Same I’ve seen 212 on a hot day or lights sitting
The exhaust ever scrape?
My mod is a sidecar.
