[@Subpargolfvideo]

Just did the timing mod on my FZ6R. I didn’t realize they suggested higher octane. You think 91-93 would be fine to run in it? I don’t see why not if the compression is the same huh? Just want to delay ignition of the fuel a hair for peace of mind right?

[@HalfClickUp]

@@Subpargolfvideo 93 is recommended, you’re good 👍

[@mr_pdj]

My pops got a beautiful 2011 fz6r. Trying to convince him to sell it to me. Love the channel one day ill be on the road. Drive safe thank you for the content

[@HalfClickUp]

@@mr_pdj man that’s awesome! Best of luck with your acquisition of that Fizzer, and thanks for watching!

[@zacharyl5123]

That 90 I believe is just regular "No ethanol OG gas". Though I could be wrong too.

[@HalfClickUp]

@@zacharyl5123 that’s a fair point, but wouldn’t it be more expensive if it was ethanol free?

[@zacharyl5123]

@@HalfClickUp If it's refined instate probably not. Texas has its own fuel refineries, so it should be cheaper in general if my memory serves. Here in Missouri the QT I go to has 90-91 non ethanol gas that's 50 cent to a dollar more. But again I'm going on the assumption here. Haha!

[@justjosh7076]

hey love the video. I am just curious what the frame sliders you are using are

[@HalfClickUp]

@@justjosh7076 they were the factory option back during production. They’re made by GYTR. If you ever wondered why there’s a little “scope reticle” looking mark molded into the insides of your fairings, that’s where you drill to mount these sliders.

New fz6r owner here and just wanted to say she is looking mean. Thanks for all your content. What are you using for tuning?

[@danielson0206]

[@HalfClickUp]

@@treyhazel9010 I run a PowerCommander PCFC controller with the Hindle Performance dyno tune.

[@oshadagunasekara951]

Do you have outside angles of you riding because I am meaning to find the ride position you get with clip ons and rear sets . Love your vids I have a fz6r myself through your videos

[@HalfClickUp]

@@oshadagunasekara951 the only thing I have out there is my track day at G2 Motorsport Park, where I had a cameraman filming from trackside. If you’d like, I can devote an episode of Fizzer Friday to a close-up look of what the Woodcraft kit and R6 rearsets do for my riding position.

[@brianhaygood183]

Octanium adds about $2.50 per gallon, so that's cheaper, but you are still crazy for doing either one. I'd be shocked if the 4 degree advance needed anything other than just 93.

[@HalfClickUp]

@@brianhaygood183 but it SMELLS. SO. GOOD.

[@brianhaygood183]

Well, save yourself some money this way: Keep a small spray bottle in your jacket and just spray some into your helmet before a ride. You'll get some evaporative cooking out of and smell it far more efficiently, if you remain conscious.

[@HalfClickUp]

@@brianhaygood183 HAHAHAHA!!! 🤣

[@MJT-DA]

Been hearing people throwing not just fz6 cames but 2003 r6 cames into the fz6r. Is it even possible with such a low redline??

[@HalfClickUp]

@@MJT-DA I’m unaware of a successful R6 cam retrofit, but yes the FZ6 cam swap is achieved by altering the timing of the (I THINK) exhaust cam to 102 degrees or something similar. I’d have to do a lot of research and prep before undertaking that mod, but it would be the ultimate final power adder for the bike.

[@MJT-DA]

@@HalfClickUp i heard its 102 and then 105 for the exhaust cams. However, how do you machine them? As I cant find a video anywhere.

[@HalfClickUp]

@@MJT-DA that’s the trick.. not sure if it can be hand-filed or if full on machining is required. There are a couple of informative threads about it on the FZ6R forum at 600cc.org which is where I’ll begin my research when I get ready for the mod.

[@MJT-DA]

@@HalfClickUp ok I just wait for you to do it then haha. I got 11,000 more kilometres till my valve service so i got time :)

[@HalfClickUp]

@@MJT-DA deal 😅

[@Fc2x]

What’s your average running temps ?

[@HalfClickUp]

@@Fc2x in summertime: 190s when moving, up to 214 in traffic when the fans kick on and bring it back to the 190s. In wintertime: 170s to 180s

[@luisdeleon8436]

, do you still have some paraes of stickers that you can sell me?

[@HalfClickUp]

@@luisdeleon8436 my decals are free, my friend. Shoot me your mailing address in an email and I’ll send you a pair. [e-mail]

$48 ride 😭 I would be riding soooo slow 😂😂😂

[@HalfClickUp]

@@danielson0206 isn’t that the craziest crap you ever saw?! And hell naw man, RIP IT! 😂🤙

[@Jj12915]

If you only got 3.5 gallons (which makes more sense), why did you have to pay $48😮

[@danielson0206]

@@Jj12915 around $13-14 a gallon for the race fuel 🥲🏍️⛽️

[@antoniogriffin7135]

3:37 You officially became Deadpool. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HalfClickUp]

@@Jj12915 cuz apparently it was $13.xx a gallon. It seems the sign regarding the gallon count being halved also applies to the price indicated. Kinda pisses me off, really 😂

[@Sloth_FZ6R]

😮😮😮 wow, 48 dollars. Wow.

[@HalfClickUp]

@@Sloth_FZ6R sickening, isn’t it? 😅
