Diva Customs just did mine.. not sure what their price is... You can ask skrooz. I had them do alot of work for me and I haven't paid yet...

Speaking of Muffler Bearings...I think the zip ties holding my muffler to my bike are looking a little weak...

Re: Cycle whore thread

I got a quick question. My service book tells me to change oil every 8,000 miles. Seems like that would be a bit to long? Maybe it's just im a newb a bike service's. Oh yeah the bike is a 2006 yamaha r6.

Any other r6 owners want to share how many miles they change their oil at?

3,000 miles here. With as much as your oil lubricates in a bike; not sure I'd want to risk anything. 3,000 may be over(under)kill, but I'd rather be save than sorry.
