Re: The Great R6 Build


Ok the last of the goodies have been installed. I dont have any photos of the installation because it was done at the track in between sessions so time was a factor.

I know a few of you saw us installing this.

Triple clicker by elka.


For those that have never put a shock in the new generation R6 its not difficult but its not easy either. Yamaha didnt leave much space for tools to get in. You have to lift the tank to get at the upper shock mount. The link and the dog bones need to come out as well. It took us about 20 minutes to do.




The shock is much better then the stock one. It was more planted in the rain in the rain and I noticed the rear breaking loose less. I have yet to ride it in the dry but so far its a large improvement.

The rapid bike fuel controller also got installed.



A few neat features this offers is a quick shifter.


Yes you can get this with the power commander but you need to buy it and you need the ignition module as well. Its also an option for the rapid bike but its all controlled by one box.

The other really nice feature is a dual map switch.



It pretty much does what its advertised to do. You can toggle maps. Since this bike will see street duty we are running and pump gas map and a race fuel map.

For those that havent seen rain tires. I was running a set of Dunlop rains tires.. Damn things are amazing in the wet.
