why does my k4 seem more powerful than my K6? the only mod done to my k4 is a D&D Slip-on

from what i hear the only thing that 06 has on 04 is better mass centralization....i talked to a guy that had his 06 dyno tuned with all the same mods i have and his 06 had 1 more hp and mine had 1 more fpt....so other than paint schemes and blinkers and tail section the bike is just as good from 04-05 to the new 06....maybe even better....i personally don't like the new colors...

the difference in feel when turning in between the k4/k5 and k6 is night and day. The k6 models seem to almost turn by themselves.
Also line both bikes up in a driveway and push them around. The k6 is MUCH MUCH lighter feeling, easier to tip side to side, and easier to push around than the k4/k5...though I think the dry weight numbers of the bikes are very close.
I say this cause I had a k5 750 and now have a k6.

I had my 750 on the track the only mod was a 16 tooth sprocket on the front instead of the 17. It was taking the older 750's on the strait as well as the older 1000s. From what the dyno charts say it is not because of the HP so it most just be the whole package. :cheers The fastest guy at this event was on a CBR600rr.
BTW this was my first trackday. I did win most improved rider for the three day event at Grattan. I am not an expert and I was one of the few virgins there.

Yes, I do notice that my 750 seems to turn by itself when taking a corner at low speed. It's as if somebody is pulling on the handlebars into the turn. Anybody know what it is that causes this? It kind of scared me the first time it happend cause I've never experienced it on any other bike.jacksprat said:

On eof the magazines this month is comparing both.
I do not remember the name (I think it was British) or the specifics, but I read it last week at barnes and Nobles.
I think the K6 was a more complete package and better track bike, the K5 was more fun on the street as it could power wheelie..........it was also a lot cheeaper to buy a new K5. Most of the other numbers seemed really close, so it was more of a feeling thing.

I don't like the K5 style so I went K6.. don't like old one, too square
yep fair enough reason for buying what you did, I was the opposite, butsabbath said:
on what do you base your statement of the k5 having more power and a better engine?
Seems you have never owned a k6 ( I have not owned a k5 but I am not making the claims), have you ridden one?? Do you have stock dyno comparisons? or is it simply a matter of " I have an 05 so it must be better"?
So come on qualify the statement:cool

Blah, Blah, Blah.... "My dick is bigger than you're dick". Who gives a flying fuck. People have different tastes. All in all having ridden both on the track both stock bikes the k6 is stronger in the upper part of the power band and WAY smoother acceleration. You cannot compare the K4-K5 to the K6. They are completely different in the way they're built and the way they ride.
