Hey everyone, just bought a 98 zx6r off ebay that is going to be my first bike, i pick it up on thursday, and no its not stolen lol, i want to stunt it sense it is all ready kind of ugly (dented tank, home made cage, cracked tail, no mid fairings) anyways it has a extra rear wheel setup with a ok tire and 66t sprocket, extra tank, anyways i was thinking about making 1 tank nice and have a nice set of body work and a street set of body work, FI cage and eventually a 12 bar. Ok now my question is what are the pros (if any) and cons of a carborated bike for stunting?

I wouldn't really know i've never ridden a carbed but my guess that the throttle response isn't there.

i have a 99 i like the bike a lot. if it's jetted right and has good plugs and what not it'll be one of the smoothest motors you'll ride. i rocked the streets with mine and never really tried the lots. it should work well in either setting. just get the forks valved better and have a really good front tire it's hard to roll stoppies on that thing cause the forks ****. the only things you'll miss from a fi bike are that you have to let the thing warm up and the throttle response won't be as crisp but that's a good running motor and it's not a huge diffrence

ok thanks alot, the guy says it runs really good and smooth. I cant wait to get it too bad its going to be late when i get home and DMV wont be open to register it for the streets, i am going to get insurance tonight or tomarrow so i can just go to DMV and have it all good for the road...I would ride it home but i feel more conforitable if i hauled it home and practiced riding it in general on home terf lol

"Female owned, always babied, never laid down, never stunted, oil changed after every ride..."

Haha j/k man, congrats

600rida

yeah he actually tried to make it sound bad, he was like its real ugly but it runs good, he mentioned every detail you could see, i guess ie could be lieing about whats hidden, but he sounds like a good guy, i called him numerious times prior to buying it...

oh another question, FI cage or the 905 cage? i want to get rid of that homemade one it dosnt look safe lol it attaches to 3 holes drilled in the frame lol.... i was reading up on here and people dont seem to like the 905 how about the FI cage?
Ben

just learning how to ride? then the 905....

already know what is goin on..... the FI will hold up fine

Ed LegionST

you should do some more research on cages

StinkyFatPig

i got the same bike.. but a 99.. it stalls when i roll stoppies.. cause of the carbs.. wheels seem fine but i cant roll BP yet.. so who knows what happends when i do

600rida

i know how to ride, i have riddin an r6 before and others, but this is my first OWN streetbike lol I was just concerned about fitment with the 905 i have read people have problems with getting it to fit and once you go down its a ***** to get off and you will never get it back on...

My first bike was 96 zx6 and it was a great bike never did any slow stuff on it but I learned BP on it with no problems until I put a full muzzy system on it and a jet kit then it started acting weird when you would bring it way back

f4stunna

i ment know how to stunt.... theres a difference

John LegionST

i didn't read this thread but ill give a quick answer to the carb vs FI (pros and cons)

People used to say a pro of carb was the smoothness... however, with todays advances in FI, with multiple butterfly valves in the throttle bodies etc, FI is just as smooth from off throttle to on throttle

carbs have a lot of cons:
they flood at 12
they need cleaned
they require jetting changes for different pipes or even if you CUT OR DENT you pipe


If i had to choose between the two, i would DEF go FI everytime!!!

600rida

i know there is a big diference i thought you ment how to ride in general. i read a poll that went on for 3 years and it seems that its about even with the advances in r&d on the cages and cant go wrong either way... I think i want the FI, it looks nicer and the 905 i hear still has some fitment issues...
