the normal method is to swap out the 2 tree stems. u put the kz stem into the r6 thriple and go.
there are a few posts here showing how its done. do a search. i'll see if i can find u the 1 that Leon did.

You will need to adapt the kz stem into the r6 clamps. like this..

a stem swap is nice because then you don't have to worry about getting some conversion bearings(if even possible).
you are re-using the stock stem and it bolts back on using kz steering bearings and the factory hardware.

i sent you pm.

I know you guys are into making a new stem for every swap, but while I could make new stems I prefer to use conversion bearings when possible.

Is the R6 stem to short to use conversion bearings?

If the stem is long enough, then the following list shows part numbers for upper (first) and lower bearings to fit the stem. Part numbers start with 99, other numbers are dimensions in mm.


Yamaha YZF600 2000 25 48 15 99-3505-5 30 52 16 99-3521-5
Yamaha YZF600 2000 25 48 16 99-3507-5 30 52 17 99-3504-5
Yamaha YZF600 2000 25 48 16 99-3507-5 30 52 16 99-3521-5
Yamaha YZF600 2000 25 48 13 99-3509-5 30 52 17 99-3504-5
Yamaha YZF600 2000 25 48 13 99-3509-5 30 52 16 99-3521-5
Yamaha YZF600 2000 25 48 15 99-3505-5 30 52 17 99-3504-5


All Balls

Just to be clear, the above bearings listed fit the 79 KZ650 steering neck and the R6 steering stem.



Been thinking about making a stem out of titanium, but I'd have to do a lot of research to ensure it was safe.

but is the r6 stem long enough? finding the bearings that swap across is fine, but if the stem isn't long enough or is too long your back at zero.

You must have missed this part :)

Is the R6 stem to short to use conversion bearings?


I was just wondering why most people don't even consider the idea.

unobtanium for a stem ?

why?



Titanium is fairly common, and it machines nicely with HSS, and it's light, and it's cool B) I even have titanium wheel spacers on a 750 twin :P

I have a bike with a stock curb weight of 602 lbs, and my goal is to get it down as close to 500 as possible, and I've already done all the cheap and easy things (and I don't want to hear anything about "my" weight), and I can't afford $5000 for a set of carbon fiber wheels :)

dropping a hundred pounds is definatley nothing to sneeze at.thats a pretty good goal :evil: .instant performance gain,brakes are more effective,suspension more active.

i really would like to see you get the carbon wheels tho :laugh: .

the bearing conversions are awesome in the right situation.

the thing about a stem swap is there is no conversion bearing to remember where you got it from and which one it was.you can just order up a stock (or tapered bearing set as applicable)for whatever year and model your bike is,install the new parts and your off.

i have had some really bastardized vehicles and appreciate not having to remember what different year and model i needed.

so with the stem swap you go to z1enterprise,redline,all balls or wherever you like to buy your parts and although your bike has !@#$%^&*(*() frontend hanging on it you simply order a bearing set for your year and model.
pretty straightforward.
some people just want easy they don't like to sit looking at id's od's and bearing #'s.

they just want what fits there bike.
