Hello, this is my first post so please bear with me.
I recently purchased a 2008 Yamaha FZ6 with about 7k miles. I am a fairly big dude 6'4" 250lbs. I love the bike so far but I am looking at making some upgrades and possible fixes.
Can anyone tell me what effect will be had with installing a Two Brothers Carbon Fiber exhaust system, Juicebox Pro, and Two Brothers Air Filter? I know it should get about 4-10 more hp and 3-6 more lb-ft torque. My concern is if it will kill my gas mileage (approx 43-45 mpg with my semi-aggressive riding style)
Secondly I am getting quite a bit of vibration. This is my first motorcycle so I really have no reference point but I almost want to say the Honda 250 dual sport bike that I used for the Basic Rider Course was less buzzy. The vibration is worse at the handle bars and laugh all you want but a lot between the legs, but not in a good way. I have talked to guys that ride other bikes and they seem to not get as much vibration. Can anyone offer some productive comment/suggestions as to help reduce the vibration?
Cheers
