I run close to 120/120 hp,tq with 3.37 gears and have hammered on the SE 6 pretty good without any problems.

 

pitbulldog,

What did they charge you to put the 6 speed in? I am thinking of doing something just like you did. Do you like it that much more than stock?

I recommend the SE 6 speed 100%. I couldn't be happier with it. I've ridden it for 10,000 miles without a problem. I've heard people say it's expensive ($1700 for the gear set + $700 installation labor) but to me it was well worth it. I rode the 88" with the 6 speed for about 5,000 miles then did the 95" stage II upgrade. The combination of the 6 speed and the 95" motor is awesome.

 

pitbulldog,

Now that's what I wanted to hear, thanks!

What do you think about this? I can get acomplete SE 6-speed tranny for $2000 brand new. Wouldn't that be fairly easy to install myself? Then I should be able to sell my 5-speed too.

As much as I've always worked on my own bikes in the past, due to time constraints and this being my first new bike, I had the Stealer install my tranmission. I've seen quite a few posts on this web site about others who have installed the 6 speed themselves, I'm sure you could get some good feedback on doing it yourself. I also read a post about a guy who sold his 5 speed gearset for $700 on E-Bay. Mine is sitting in a box in my garage, once again the "time constraints thing".........

Good luck! You will love this upgrade!

 

I have one and love it. The dealer installed it whem the bike was new and I have about 18,000 miles on it now. Only good for over 70 mph. I would let a dealer put it in because they had a few leaks and had to fix it on their time but it has not had any more leaks since the install.
