Author Message   Werewulf Posted on Monday, September 01, 2008 - 06:43 pm:        im going from an 08 cg to an 06 r.... are there any upgrades i should do to the 06 to bring it up to snuff? i understand the oil pump gear is not an issue on the 06...   Ebuella_virus Posted on Monday, September 01, 2008 - 07:50 pm:        If you really like the '08, you can upgrade your '06 steel-braided oil lines to the rubber ones like the '08. ???????????   Packrat Posted on Monday, September 01, 2008 - 08:04 pm:        I think since he's going to the '06, he's probably doesn't really like '08 with it's rubber lines!! Werewulf- check the K.V. , there's a section of it that lists recalls, might be worth a look..The written word is a lot better than my tired-ass memory sometimes   Werewulf Posted on Monday, September 01, 2008 - 08:06 pm:        actually i didnt like the 08 and got rid of it... the 06 runs better with less issues, but i just want to upgrade the 06 to the latest parts...   Mr2shim Posted on Monday, September 01, 2008 - 08:21 pm:        One plus to throwing out the 08 and going 06... EcmSpy! Did they really go from steel braided oil lines to rubber? WTF downgrade. Hell, my 03 has steel braided lines.

Thats off the top of my head -- I'm sure I am forgetting something.   Bhmax Posted on Friday, September 05, 2008 - 10:59 am:        Heli upper is wonderful for me with my shorter arms. Get the upgraded '07 kickstand or use some good threadlocker to keep the bolt from backing out.   Bhmax Posted on Friday, September 05, 2008 - 11:01 am:        I also got the airbox with more holes (from the 12r?) and the '07 ecm map for my '06 9r.   Mesozoic Posted on Sunday, September 07, 2008 - 03:14 am:        WTF are you guys talking about. My '08 has stainless braided brake lines front and back.   Mr2shim Posted on Sunday, September 07, 2008 - 09:13 am:        Mesozoic, look again, he said oil lines   Mesozoic Posted on Sunday, September 07, 2008 - 11:56 am:        Tired... need sleep. Which oil lines are you folks saying are rubber? Most of mine are hard lines, but I suppose somewhere there's a set of soft lines.
