DTXracer Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 hi just up from a DTX125 to a fz6 got a very good deal on it just waiting for my restrictor kit to be fitted so i can take it home and remove it right first question; how different is this engine from a R6, am i right in thinking its just CAMs and the ECU?? also best place to buy a nice sounding exhaust, tail tidy ( to start with ) i'll post up some picks when i bring it home cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve m Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Not just the ECU and cams,,, so is the compresion ratio, also the fuel injection system and the gearbox ratio`s and prob more !! I don`t think there is very much that you can swop between the two bikes. Remember, if you take the restrictors off, then you will not be covered by your insurance.

Some parts may be interchangable,, oil filter, crankcase covers,but I don`t think I know of any person thats turned a Fazer 600 or Thou, 1998 to 2009 into an Thundercat, R6 or R1 by swoping engine parts between the models,may be if you swop the engines ?? but that would be a major job cos as far as I know the mounting points are different, as are the electrics.
