    2015 r6 map sensor mounting in 2006 bike

    I had a 06/07 r6 which is getting a 15 motor, harness, airbox, etc... I've read a snip that the MAP sensor has been relocated from the top of the airbox to the air duct, up front. I have no pictures as reference, and neither the online part catalog nor the shop manual have let me figure it...

    r6 stuck exhaust shims

    Heyo, This is my 2006 r6 crippled 450. Bought last year, I did nothing to the motor (at all) and it ran well. But it's a great time to check valves, and yeah, 3 intake were out of spec, and another 3 exhaust were borderline. My problem is this: 7 out of 8 of the exhaust side shims are not...

    Thanks for warning

    Have no idea if the SUV CHP will read this -- about 7:45 this morning on 80 heading towards SF a little after the Carquinez. Silver bike, blue rider, carpool lane -- you came up behind me, i changed to #2. You pulled along side and said something over the intercom. I couldn't make any of it out...

    you pissed off a dood in a land rover ...

    ... and he took it out on me. you: splitting morning traffic with 2 bikes behind you, moderate pace. Each of 3 times some idiot driver was drifting towards the middle (where we split), you issued a prolonged shoo-away signal with your left hand. But note, when you gestured this to the...

    fallout ...

    ... hey commuting comrades... so this message could reference a lot of threads with the theme of "we are ruining a good thing". I've been splitting since the late '90's; my opinion is that we usually ruin it for ourselves for a while, and then winter comes. BUT, I am posting just to pass...

    gsxr 04/05 ecu error code question

    Ok, removed the stock dash and went with logger/dash. Doing that, i've lost 3 things: low fuel light, oil pressure light and dealer-mode ecu fault codes. i've figured out the first two issues, but I'm still exploring how to detect and decode the ecu fault codes. My idea is to light-up a LED on...

    DPST momentary switch -- local preferred

    I'm looking to complete two circuits momentarily (ignition and neutral-indication) on a keyless trackbike. I can do it with two SPST buttons together, but it would be nicer to do with one button/throw. Looking for nice quality, water resistant, solder connections, reasonably small form-factor...

    Need 10x1 double banjo 30mm

    New used bike. Track day Monday. Brake line issue, cracked fitting on caliper side. So, over-nighted new spiegler lines, but they shipped with 1.25 threaded bolt for OEM MC. But this bike has Brembo MC with 1.0 threads. The existing/currently-used banjo is too short (probably only 3 or 4...

    Dianesse Torque RS Out Black (1 month old)

    Heyo! Bought these at D-Store about 1 months back. Somehow left the store with a pair of 44, despite knowing I wear 43. So, after 10 wearings I decided that they were way too loose, and checked the size again. D'OH. Adult owned, never been down. Always worn with socks and lubed every 600...

    Does riding gear influence you?

    Hey LEO ppl, How much does what a rider wears factor into your evaluation of a situation? For instance you see some riding on the cusp of what you allow. In one case, the rider is wearing shorts and t-shirt; another case, rider is in full leathers. Do you react differently? I mean, might you...
