D&D end can, stage one tune

Carberation

Smooth linear power delivery. A little flat with end can fitted in midrange, but rejetting fixed problem with no worries: sounded bloody gorgeous

Brakes

Plenty of feel and power, though I reckon FZR 1000 brakes are better.

Handling

Change settings to suit asap. Two up touring no problem or scratchin' with the newer roadrockets.

Best bike i've owned overall, but some bastard stole it ten days after mods were made.

Corbin Seat, D&D slip-on and that's about it. This bike doesn't really need anything else. This is the best bike I have ever owned. Plenty of power and lightweight. Midrange seems endless! This bike handles excellent! The breaks are good. I don't feel cramped up on this bike like I feel on the R1. The bike burns some oil.

Carberation

any flat spots etc.

Brakes

Feel, Strength

Handling

List the modifications on this bike: none this bike is bone stock! But dynoed at 119 HP at the rear wheel 5500 feet elevation. not to shabby!

Carberation

any flat spots etc.excellent

Brakes

Feel, Strength very good but will replace stock lines with stainless when they wear out

Handling

almost as good as my 98 600r but can get a little head shakie from time to time but not a serious problem. I'm working on tuning it out with the suspension adjustments.

Comments

Carberation

Very clean carburation and kind of linear powerdelivery. Best i have had. I have had: GSX750 -80, FJ1100 -84, VF1000F -84, CB1100F -85, VF500F2 -88 and now a ZX6R -00

Brakes

Perfect. Good feel and good efect. The R1 still uses the same..

Handling

A litle bit heavy compared to my ZX6R, otherwise rocksteady-with luggage also at 260km/t :) (speedo)
