what can bee done to the fzr 600 engine to make more power i already have the full vance and hines and i got the carbs jetted and have the pods on the bike but i still want to get a little more power out of the engine before i buy a new bike

Have you done a 520 conversion with a new lighter chain and sprockets? That is a great boost!

Otherwise,you could do some engine work such as a 660 hybrid engine. But in all reality, I'm not sure the gain is worth the cost.

I have to pick up a shorter chain to switch out my swing arm.....I was thinking about picking up one of those kits off fleabay.

I also have one I would suggest it to any its nice for the money.

the 520 seems like the best thing to do at this point ill probaly do that then i guess im just gonna have to get another bike but i still love my fzr it just dosnt have enough juice in it anymore.

Are you looking for top end or just acceleration? If you are willing to give up top end and some streetability you can just go with a smaller sprocket up front and a bigger sprocket in the rear. Depending on how many teeth you subtract/add you can make the FZR wheelie at will and slap you in the face with the tank if you are not careful. It is really no biggie to give up the 120+ mph range to get that kind of response, but also keep in mind that freeway speeds (65) wont be at 5500 rpm anymore, plus your gas milage will nose dive.

FP ign advance......

I *think* someone has one for sale 0:)

you can bore the motor to a 619 or a 630 but the kits run $500 alone. in the end a bore job will run at least $200 and you new gaskets and shuck and anything else needing replaced (prob timing chain and guide) your up to $1000 again for more power.

save $1000, sell the fzr and buy a newer 600. sorry but its the dead stright truth. only reason i am staying with the FZR is it would take me 2 years to save up for a 8-10 year old newer 600/750/1000...

out of interest have you dynoed it if so what dd you get ???

yeah i dynoed my bike and had 84 horse but like i think im gonna get me a 1000 since i need somthin alot faster so if anyone finds any good bikes for sale let me know

84hp cool

at a pinch you could see if you can get a thinner gasket to rise compression or see if anybody makes standard size hi-comp pistons that just drop straight in

or ....

keep it , dont spend anymore money on it and go and buy whatever takes your fancy.

i guess the moot question is why do you need something faster

if i was looking for something similar, i reckon a late n sweet gixxer 750 would be the choice , plenty of power and still mega flickable and controllable



have fun looking

honestly you don't need that much power unless your racing newer bikes, but whatever floats your boat.

I'd go with a chain, ign. advancer, and some head porting/gasket matching if you can do it. i forgot if there were cams available to switch out.

if i was going to go with diff size sprockets how many teeth would i need on front and back to be able to pull the front end off the ground and would that screw with my speedo

i went +2 in the rear but thats the largest i could go for the style sproket i wanted....supersprox.com is the kinda i am only running anymore...screw that votrex aluminum crap..

If you want the front end to come off the ground consistently, then go with a 14/50 or 14/52. That's good for stunting. You can go even higher in the rear if you want.

I went with a 14/49 set-up and the bike has some serious take-off.

Will not change your speedo at all since it takes the speed from the front wheel. It will; however, reduce your fuel economy.
