R6 downpipes on 600 engine in 400 frame...

Post by tno45 »

Made up some R6 downpipes to fit the fzr600 engine, they appear to hang low and very forward but I think this could be due to the 400 frame, just looking for some opinions on others who have done this. Also put the R6 can on for now as picked up the whole lot for £45.

thanks

so long as the down tubes clear the front wheel at all times, you should be ok, you might just have to shave the fariings some.

I have the same thing. I like how they hang.

So it isn't just me!
As for the fairing, would the 600 fairing fit a 400 frame and be a little bigger to clear the downpipes?

I have mocked up 600 fairings on my FZR4/YZF6 hybrid. They are lager, could be made to fit, and provide some added clearance for the exhaust.
FZR400 (1WG): Purchased a perfectly good FZR400 with Yoshimura slip-on/EXUP, Yosh jet kit, Factory ignition advance, Racetech springs and emulators. It even had great bodywork. Like some diseased maniac I had to mess with everything good about that bike. Well, at least I have better brakes now.

FZR400RR (3TJ):Yeah, it's pink.

What needs to be modified for this to bolt on?
