He finally did the timing mod way more peppy boo boo, now only if someone can crack the ecu on these bikes, the ecu cuts the timing in the first 2 or 3 gears ⚙️ from what I remember, sounds soo much better than before

[@HalfClickUp]

Yeah man I haven’t been able to find a single company that offers ECU flashing for this motorcycle.

[@ThatGuyKappa]

@@HalfClickUp yeah same here unless your going full on aftermarket stand alone ecu systems, you can however use power commander autotune which works wonders, really livens things up and works just as advertised but doesn’t beat a full dyno tune session but gets you as good as you can get without a dyno tune and gives you a proper tune for all altitudes as it auto adjusts to keep up with different environments and has further settings for costume limits of how much to adjust from base tune very versatile but it all depends on your wants and needs, like it’s advertised it very convenient for adding on more parts and the tuner will auto tune along the way, in my experience and drop in with a few tweaks it was very impressive for fueling tunes and the bike ran a lot cleaner and meaner from a dig it made a big difference remember the power commander only adjusts fuel in our application for the fz6r it’s very unfortunate it can’t adjust ignition but for most other bikes it has ignition tuning but not for the fz6r hence we are limited to hardware global ignition tweaks

@@HalfClickUp Got a few questions bro. Were you not able to utilize the factory shift arm (attached to the rod)? Also, I guess the OEM master cylinder wouldn't mount to the R6 rear set?

[@HalfClickUp]

@@vansonmafeet734 the factory shift arm works, but puts oblong pressure on the shift pawl because it’s a bit too long. You do need to drill one hole for each rearset. I tapped mine so the bolts actually thread like factory. It’s all covered in my installation tutorials. EDIT: I was speaking of the shift rod, sorry about that. Yes, you can utilize the factory shift arm. I replaced mine with the nice aftermarket piece from Outlaw cuz mine was bent.

@@HalfClickUp I think what you're calling the shift pawl is a rod joint according to parts specs. I saw the video where you purchased a shift rod kit from Flashtune. I ordered that one yesterday. Do you think I will still be able to use the FZ6R shift arm?

OK So I got turned onto this mod. I am totally new to this style bike. What is a good exhaust mod and what kinda fuel management are people talking about. Like a power commander or the one you do with the bike and just turning with dashboard controls? I am completely a newbie to street bikes. Always ran an 1200cc adventure bike till a storm took her away and my wife wanted something lower to the ground so she could take it out too. So here I am wanting more low end power but also not wanting go radical on this bike. What would be your advice? Any videos I should watch first etc? Thanks in advance!

[@HalfClickUp]

Hey dude welcome to the Fizzer Fam! The cheap route: 03-05 R6 header with slip-on of your choice, timing advance, PCFC fuel controller with Hindle Performance tune. That’s the route I took. Expensive route: same things as cheap route except for going with name brand exhaust system. Neater appearance and cleaner install… but pricey to the tune of $700 to $1200 depending on brand choice.

Hey half click up. I have been thinking of doing this mod while stored for the winter. My bike is still stock. I saw you mentioned in previous commend about the last piece mod- what mods have you got and what sequence would you recommend? Also have you done the derestrict on the throttle? Also youve have this mod done for some time have you seen any issue arise with this advance?

[@HalfClickUp]

Hey man I'd recommend that at minimum you already have a fuel controller and a tune. You'll also need to run 91 or 93 octane to prevent piston knock. First mod I did was exhaust and fuel controller with tune. I did this timing mod much later. I have experienced no issues since doing this timing mod. She screams on the race track with 101 octane VP race gas, and she runs 8 to 12 thousand RPM continuously for 30 minutes at a time over a 6 hour period when at a track day. North American models didn't come with the throttle restriction.

[@rosspeterson3010]

What exaust do you have on your r6? My r6 is 100% stock, but I like the tone yours has. Thanks for the video tutorial. I'm definitely interested in this. I like that this bike is a nice subtle mix between the r1 and sport. Great bike to own. Again thank you

I have a 2013 FZ6R with "stock exhaust pipes". What is your opinion on whether an increase of power would occur?

[@HalfClickUp]

Mornin’ Roger! Hey man I take pride in responding promptly to all questions 😬 I wouldn’t bother with this mod unless you’ve already done at least exhaust and fuel controller. Advancing the timing is sort of a final “stackable” mod on top of all the big things that squeezes the last bit of power output out of the ole’ Fizzer. The fact that it allows you to safely burn high octane fuel, for example, is something you wouldn’t be able to take advantage of if you didn’t have a couple of other performance parts to compliment the timing advance. Make sense?

[@rogerlouie9586]

Thankyou @HalfClickUp for the reply and tips. I basically have a 100% stock bike, so your advice makes perfect sense. You know how we are all looking for possible improvements, and like you said, this is one of the final pieces of the puzzle to max out your bikes. Sorry for just noticing your reply after 7 days.

@@HalfClickUpupdate: I tried putting the bike in neutral and used an air impact gun. Didn't work. I finally just lodged a small bolt inside the housing and pressed to one of the gears, or teeth of the rotor. That finally broke the bolt free! Mine must have more than 25ft lbs torque applied. Got the new one installed in a snap. Will be doing the rearset swap soon, just waiting on them to be delivered from eBay. Found a new set that was taken off of an R6 that just had 5k miles on it.

@@vansonmafeet734 dude that’s wild… my next recommendation was gonna be to put some heat on it. Good on you for breaking her free though! You’re gonna love those rear-sets man… supersport mode unlocked 😎🤙

[@vansonmafeet734]

@@HalfClickUp Got both rear-sets installed. Clutch side wasn't too bad with the shift rod kit, worked out great. Brake side had some difficulties. I'm trying to utilize the stock master brake cylinder instead of buying an R6 one. Can that joint at the bottom where the hose connects be turned 90 degrees? Right now it's in the way. I machined a small bracket out of aluminum because as you know, the holes don't line up to the R6 rear-set. If I can get that to work I'll be golden. I already like how they sit on the bike. The stock ones always got in the way when I come to a stop, me legs always hit them. Thanks!!

[@Knight0fSin]

So what does this do?

[@HalfClickUp]

@@Knight0fSin advancing timing allows for an earlier ignition of the fuel/air mixture during the combustion cycle, thereby resulting in a more complete burn of the mixture which produces more horsepower.

[@Knight0fSin]

@@HalfClickUp will this need to be dyno tuned after installation?

[@HalfClickUp]

@@Knight0fSin it does not, however running a fuel controller with a good tune map will allow for the mod’s full potential.

You’ll need to run 93 octane or better all the time. Most of us already do that anyways, so if you’re already in the habit of running 93, there will be no change to your motorcycling habits.

[@HalfClickUp]

@@triple7988 no don’t drain the oil unless it is really time to change it. You’ll only lose a few drops when you remove the oil pump/timing cover, so you’ll just need a shop towel in place to catch a little drip.

Is this safe for the engine to do this? I've heard if you advance the timing too much it'll blow but I've also been told if you push the timing from the stock 6 to 9 that it will stand straight up and do power wheelies at about 3000rpms less than stock in the first 3 gears lol 😆 🤷

[@HalfClickUp]

It’ll actually allow for the engine to operate at cooler temperatures. Theoretically, advanced timing will increase overall longevity 😎🤙
