I feel ya on the mods/maint thing. I've been doing stuff I've never really wanted to do before. after seeing my buddy's 04 R6 put down 116.5hp at the dyno (typical R6 is right at 100 +/- 1-2 hp) I have been itching to buy all the same stuff for mine. lol his bike can walk mine like 10 bike lengths in a race to 110. MUST GET SAME STUFF lol so far I've done 1. valve adjustment 2. graves slide stops 3. bmc filter (best option for the R6) 4. factory pro +4 ignition advancer 5. power commander 6. factory pro super flare V stacks 7. I'm putting a set of 05 throttle bodies on mine. they're bigger than the 03/04 bike's. (he doesn't have that mod muhahahah) so I had to get the 05 airbox that fits on the throttle bodies. and a few other things that I wanted... 1. adjustable rearsets 2. double bubble windscreen 3. new ferodo sinter grip pads 4. had front rotors resurfaced at a machine shop 5. removed the AIS (air injection system) 6. and a new paint job (I paint my own stuff) and I'm going to take it to DTM in a few months to get a custom tune. but I'm going to load the map from his bike first just to see if I get the same or close to his 116 mark. might not work right with the 05 throttle bodies though.
