converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

need some advice from the experts guys...

this bike is a lot of fun but... i'm tryin to make it a lot more fun.

07 zx6r pretty much stock.. 2bros slip on and jumper mod other than that no perf. upgrades

prolly gonna start w/a cage, leaning towards 905 for now and also a sprocket stock i think is 43 thinking bout going up to a 47 or 50, a lot of people are telling me to use the 520 also but none of the people sayin that stunt.

anyway i've seen that newbie thread for converting bikes but that's just a part list trying to see what recomendations all you guys got for me?? handlbars sprocket cage etc where to start

thanks
joe

FIrst off dont buy a 905 cage.. Either go SI CAGE,ATOWN,TIGER SHARK, second ur gonna need a sub cage i would say go AMR, ur gonna need a handbrake once u learn foot brake so i would say FTI new dual quad set up, along with steel braided lines, also ur gonna need a a 12 bar..

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

i personally would go with a sickinnovations cage... flip your stock clip ons... OMR sub cage and a hohey dual caliper handbrake set up... the sprockets are really just personal prefference... i would keep it around 10 up if u plan on actually street riding it... and i would just stay with the 525 on the pitch for the chain... round bars ans subframes are good to have and what not but there not extreamly needed and there not cheap...... i would def start out with a cage, some light gearing, fliped clip ons and a good handbrake set up... you can get all the other stuff as u progress and need it

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

flip the stock clip ons...?? gotta pic of this?!
i was just lookin at sick innovations cages after posting this

thanks for the 525 recomendation i was thinking that the 520 just won't hold up in the long run

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

Sell it is the best thing to do i have one low end sucks top end good but frame is brittle going to have to reinforce it sub are garbage

but as they say stunt it if u can it has a slippery clutch also if u want a cagr impatak is the tits for the bike atown doesnt make one for it also clean air mod it too

clutch gas brake for the win

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

yeah i know low end sux i can't friggin power wheelie for shit on this bike.. every buddy of mine says bullshit let me show you and can't get the wheel off the ground more than 2 inch... but i wanna clutch it up anyway

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

yes the low end sucks on the 07 and up's and the clean are mod is a good thing to do also

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

i dont have a pix of my clips ons like i thought i did... but what i mean by flipped clip ons is put the left one on the right side and the right one on the left side and flip them upside down so that they are angled up not down.. this puts u in a way better riding postion

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

you will have to go 55+ teeth for the bike to pick up

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?

If you snap a 520 chain youre doing something wrong. I've run 520 on every one of my 12 bikes since 03 and never had one fail.

+1... the only shity part about 520 pitch set-ups are the sprockets are thinner... and if your running a alum rear and you dont maintain your slack properly they will wear out faster

yah i learned that with my very first bike. wore out my rear sprocket in like 4k miles cuz i didnt take care of my shit. keep your chain clean and keep the slack properly adjusted and they last a long time.

not saying chains are unbreakable but with regular maintenance the chances are extremely slim. it's likelly his chain that broke was old, no chain lasts forever and should be replaced when you wear out your sprockets. reusing any chain on new sprockets and all sorts of other shit really damages your chain.

:LOL.... you need to move back :cheers

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

guy at the stealership told me don't change the back sprocket and chain unless i'm going to change the front sprocket as well cuz it will ruin the new chain... what do you guys think about that?

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

it will be just fine..... he just wants more money

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

that's what i thought
like i said "stealership" haha

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

if they tell you something and you think its a little fishy... it problay is

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

Unless you're using different pitch sprockets... AKA 520 (stock) up front and 525 in the rear. I changed both of mine to 525. Had I not, the 525 chain would've had way too much space on that 520 up front.

Re: converting my zx6r to sportbike... where to begin?
 

Nothing wrong with these bikes.
Low end sucks ya crank the idle 4k plus
i rock a 52 in the rear and i LOL everytime some tries to ride it and cant even get it up.
But i ride to all the spots so any bigger wouldnt make for a fun highway ride.

Axle sliders
Big Rotor
Cage(SI)
Chain and Sprocket Kit (55 and under highwayable 55+ lot killing)
Dual Caliper bracket(easy as hell to make)
Magura
