Suppose I got this bike what can I do to make it faster? Full catback? Intake? Chip? Jetting?

Whats jetting?

 

you can do all that stuff and get a few more HP from your bike. (small gains are much more noticable on 400 lb bike than they are on 2500lbs cars)

jetting is done on carbuerated bikes after you've changed anything to do with the air flow, i.e. full exhaust system, mainly because sportbike engines are basically pushed to their limits to extract every bit of power they can get out of them and remain street legal that just about anything you do performance wise gets it out of tune. jetting your bike just gets the air fuel mixed just right again after youve done almost anykind of airflow work on the engine.

I hope I explained that right.

 

suppose you get this bike, it would be plenty fast stock

 

Humm, has anyone hear how the ZX6-R sounds? I heard it has a nice exhaust note stock.

 

yeah the 6R is fast as is and especially if your a rookie drive, you dont want more power than you can handle. But if you really like power then move up to the BIGGIeZ. Oh a stock 6R sound nice as is.

ahhh cool.

 

they sound even better with a slip on or full exhaust

 

I have a Yoshimura exhaust on mine, along with a jet kit, steering damper and a set of Dunlop D207's (nice tires!!!)

never dyno'd but i'm sure i hit the 100whp mark, factory for my year was 98whp roughly.. but hey.. prolly picked up a couple with those mods... LOL

The ZX6R sounds mean with exhaust at 14,000 rpm's !!!!!
