My problem with the r6 is that the tail sections are retarded, they try to push your foot off the passenger peg.

Any way I love my R6 I only do sitdown's and am learning some standups just because it is a brand new bike and im not ready to stunt it out yet tho.. im looking soon to pick up an 03-05 as a stunter so i can get on my way to stunting.... or atleast trying and falling many o many o times.

If anyone can answer me this question... i keep wheeliing for longer and longer but im afraid of my engine becoming oil starved, would just overfilling by say a quart hurt the bike any/ lessen my worries of oil starving / faceplanting / dieing because of a bike shutoff?

You should be ok do the kleen air mod it's in the how-to threads. THen overfill just a little. Your oil light will come on before too much starvation

actually they have larger throttle bodies and the the fairings are slightly different

Correction, I made them for Sean Parish. His skill consists of being a useless ex-sponsored rider who I would never do anything for ever again. He does get knocked out really easy though.

Here is the Rookie, wish that bum lived around here still, great rider and pritty cool guy in general. Ive made a stronger subframe for him but waiting on some things from him still.

Re: Knowing what we know now, R6??

Just got my 04 R6 about an hour ago! :YEAH

Already did the throttle tube swap gonna do the Kleen air mod tommorrow.
Has -1 fron and 48 in the rear so I figure I'll try that out for a while and see how I like it. May drop 1 more in the front.

I haven't gotten to ride it yet except down the street in my neighborhood but so far I really like it.

My clipons are bent but I'm ready to ride so I may put my set of MX bars on and see how I like it. Bill-D seems to stick to them and looks like Rookie has them too. (mine won't have that much rise tho dam!
