  1. yeh - they are good - on a par with the 020's.....
  2. yeah you can! but hey - dont pussy about doing all that bollox running in! hammer it from new - its better for the bike! let it decelerate properly to prevent glazing of parts too. i hammered my gsxr 600 06 from new - changed the oil after 20 miles - loadsa metal flakes out! then at 600 dealer service - then hammered it to 1000miles - changed oil again (more very small flakes out)to fully synth and new k & n hi flo oil filter - bike now on 1850 miles and strong as an ox - better pull than my mates r6 06 plate and he run his in as per the manual! will be changing oil again at 2000 - i dont believe you should wait from 600 mile service to 4000 service! i've seen the shit that comes outa the oil! run in as you like! - after all - the bike has a warranty!
  3. try and get an 04 or later! or better still a brand new one on 0%apr!

    Custom Mapping

    not worth mapping for just a can - although if you add a performance filter like BMC for instance and a uprated set of plugs - maybe platinums or iridiums - i'd get a pc3 then get it dyno'd and mapped at same time - but most ecu's on motorcycles will self learn off just a can. probably be lucky to get 2bhp off a can after mapping - this is usally only to perfect the air/fuel mixture @ certain rev ranges - most of the power is obtainable with out a new can but getting a proper tune sorted out.
  5. strip it down and find out where the oils coming from!
  6. THESE ARE AWESOME FOR THE MONEY AND HAVE IMPROVED MY LIGHTING DAY AND NIGHT! RECOMMENDED! EBAY - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GSXR-R1-R6-RR-ZX6R-F...1QQcmdZViewItem
  7. IF YOU WANT A REAL STICKY TYRE FOR THE SUMMER TO IMPROVE YOUR HANDLING TRY A MICHELIN PP 2CT - BUT WONT BE MUCH GOOD ON A T/CAT AT WINTER. I ONLY GOT 1800 MILES OUT OF 2 BT014 BRIDGY'S - EXCELLENT TYRE BUT SOFT COMPOUND ALL OVER AND WEAR OUT QUICK DOWN THE CENTER LINE - SO NOT MUCH GOOD FOR COMUTING. ALL ROUND - I WOULD USE A BRIDGESTONE BT020.
  8. THATS JUST YOUR ENGINE NUMBER IF THEY'VE BEEN SCRATCHED OFF THE TOP OF THE FORK HEADS THEN I'D BE A BASTARD TO SAY YOU MAY HAVE A DODGY BIKE BRO. THEY ARE NO OTHER PLACES FOR FRAME NO.S
  9. CHANGE THE PISTON RINGS AND TRY IT AGAIN AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

    R6 vs FZ6S

    OOOOOH! NO...... ITS A HALF NAKED UGLY BEAST R6 ALL THE WAY UNLESS YOU GO FOR A GSXR600!! YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO RIDE PROPERLY DUDE IF YOUR STILL HURTING WRISTS! THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT BIKES AND I THINK YOU SHOULD STICK TO THE LESS POWERFUL ONE IF YOU NEEDED TO ASK A QUESTION LIKE THAT.

    What Petrol??

    YOU GUYS NEED TO CHECK YOUR MANUALS - IF YOUR PUTTING IN FUEL WITH A HIGHER OCTANE RATING THAN REQUIRED YOUR JUST WASTING YOUR MONEY! UK BIKES ARE ALSO DIFFERENT TO US BIKE REQUIREMENTS SO THEY CANNOT BE COMPARED! IF YOU OWN A SUPERSPORT 600 IN THE UK LIKE A R6 OR GSXR600 OR ZX6R THEN YOU WILL NEED TO FUEL WITH 91 OR HIGHER OCTANE. BUT LIKE I SAID UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY DUDES! THE HIGHER THE OCTANE SIMPLY MEANS THE HIGHER THE TEMPS NEEDED TO BURN THE FUEL - HIGH OCTANE FUEL CAN WITHSTAND HIGHER TEMPS AND COMPRESSIONS BEFORE IT IGNITES - SIMPLE. IF YOU USE HIGH OCTANE IN A BIKE THAT DOES NOT NEED IT THEN YOU ARE WASTING MONEY, THROWING UN-BURNT FUEL DOWN YOUR MANIFOLD - (FLAMES FROM EXHAUST SOMETIMES WHEN THE FUEL IGNITES LATER INTO THE OUTLET MANIFOLD.) AND CAUSING POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO PLUGS AND VALVES - AND IN SOME CASES DETONATION.

    A THUNDERCAT MAY APPEAL TO YOU BUT READ THIS POST! http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/index.php...amp;#entry40447

    YZF R6

    DONT BOTHER WITH A THUNDERCAT! IF YOU GOT AN EVO I KNOW YOU'LL GET BORED AFTER 2 MONTHS LIKE I DID - I WENT AND BOUGHT A BRAND NEW GSXR 600 YOU CAN PICK UP A NEW R6 NOW WITH 0%APR - AND YOU'LL BE MUCH HAPPIER WITH IT! PLUS ITS ALOT FASTER THAT A T/CAT. ALTHOUGH IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE YOU SHOULD REALLY BOOK YOURSELF AN ADVANCE RIDERS COURSE AFTER D/A AS YOU WILL LEARN TO BE A BETTER RIDER AFTER DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT - A GOOD SET OF LEATHERS, HELMET BOOTS, GLOVES AND A TRACK COURSE OR ADVANCED ROAD COURSE ETC..... IS WORTH MORE THAN A CARBON SLIP ON, POWER COMMANDER AND AIR FILTER! I HAVE A STOCK BIKE - AND DONE ALL THESE COURSES I COULD - AND WHIP THE LADS ON THEIR 1000'S WEEK IN WEEK OUT! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN.
  14. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT EXPERIENCED WITH ROAD BIKES AND TYRES IF YOU THINK SLICKS ARE A CHOICE FOR ROAD USE!!! YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR LICENCE AS QUICK AS YOU LOOSE YOUR BIKE! LISTEN DUDE IF YOU WANT A GOOD SET OF TYRES FOR USE ON ROAD AND TRACK FOR THAT MATTER... THESE 5 ARE THE MAIN TO CONSIDER IN ORDER OF GRIP AND QUALITY MY OPINION! 1 MICHELIN PILOT POWER 2CT'S 2 PIRELLI DRAGON CORSA'S 3 METZELER M3'S 4 DUNLOP QUALIFIERS 5 BRIDGESTONE BT002'S
