I have a 2 brothers slip on on my 2011 fz8. I want to do some other easy performance mods like air filter or a remap. Does the remap cause reliability issues? Any input is appreciated!
Honestly I do not know about remapping but I have done the R6 throttle swap recently and it was the best $20 I have spent on the motorcycle so far....besides my MiVV Double Gunn Exhaust. If i were you, the throttle swap would be the next mod I do.
Throttle swap is good, i did the poor mans version and did a PVC throttle mod. DIY quick throttle mod with pics - Yamaha R6 Forum: YZF-R6 Forums only took about 20 minutes.
Also just did a -1+2 520 conversion and its awesome. Lost some top end but off the line its fantastic.
The throttle tube on the handlebar. The R6 tube has a different ramp ratio that opens the throttle more quickly for a given input angle. I think it also reduces the total angle required to get to WOT.
