Re: R6 Control Swap
Have you ever had problems with the FZR 600 cables being to long? I used a 03+ R6 controls and figured out how to make the wires work but now the return cable is to long and i can turn the throttle forward (opposite of accelerating motion). Just wondering if you have heard of this problem before. the throttle cables are brand new oem for my bike
thanks for your help!

Re: R6 Control Swap
what year r6 controls did you use? i tried to put on yzf600 switches, the left handlebar bar will work after bypassing the turn sig relay and running through a cheap flasher and relay, and i get a handlebar choke out of it, but the right side would take too much modifying for the cable to work, wiring is fine. I'm going to use a different switch. I just need to know what year switch you used, it isn't in the wiki.

I used the 99-02, It will be a tad different than the 05, It will require that you have the cables so you can sacrifice them for a few parts.
the first thing is the little clip, that holds the the accelerator cable in place, you will have the use some dikes to clip of the front third to remove it from the r6 cable, the FZR clip is not long enough.
the next thing you will need from the r6 cables is the "nut" that screws into the control case. and the adjustment nut so you can sand off the ridges and it will set nicely in the recessed hole for the return cable, you should be able to thread the end of the return cable into the housing, then screw the spacer you made from the adjustment nut into the recessed hole, then screw the oversized "nut" into the housing. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow to explain all of this.
