RE: 06 zx-6rr performance
How long have you been riding ? Not trying to down you but you have chosen one of the TOP performance bikes out there .
Most riders can not get the full potential out of a bike anyway E****ALY ON THE STREET . So increasing a 120 plus hp feather
weight bikes power is not going to gain you much if you do not have the SKILLS to ride it .
The 06 ZX6RR turns incredible track times with a good rider . You have purchased a super handling machine not a liter class drag bike . The 6 lives for HIGH RPM's . It lacks Tourqe of the bigger CC bikes so you must keep it wound up in the rpm's for good momentum .
Please don't take my post the wrong way or as a down . I am just explaning what you have incase you did not know already.
Take your PERFORMANCE aloted $$$ and do a few track days or buy some GREAT GEAR to protect you . This will be the bigest improvment you could do by far .
By the way $500 will only get you maybe 10 hp . Improving your riding skills will make you FASTER / SMOOTHER / AND SAFER

RE: 06 zx-6rr performance
For quicker acceleration then go up one or two teeth on the rear sprocket. Most people do one down on the front witch equals two up on the rear but the down fall is you now have one less point for the chain to release is preasure on the counter shaft sprocket.
This causes an increase in chain and sprocket wear that in turn equals less miles before new chain and sprockets are required again .
That is why I recommend you do the rear sprocket . You may also want to install a aluminum HARD ANODIZED model to drop some rotating weight that increases you BRAKING / ACCELARATION / AND TURN IN . But expect a few thousands less miles in the alum model vs a steel sprocket .
You may have to add two links to you chain length to acomidate the larger sprocket but MOST BIKES will take a two teeth increase with a stock length chain .
A good quilty rear sprocket will run between $40 to $65 online . Front will run $17 to $29.

Some beech! At least now a few riders on this topic that think the same. All is the same. Whether a 10r, a 6r, whatever. Just the basics.

Get a BMC air filter, a "PCIII, Dynojet ignition module" (Or the Race ECU) and a Slip-on. That should wake the bike up a lot and give it more power all across the rpm band.

RE: 06 zx-6rr performance
+2 or -1 will give the same results. The bigger you go at the rear sprocket, the quicker and more wheelie prone the bike will be and you'll lose top-end speed. Going smaller in the front achieves the similar result.
A smaller sprocket in the rear will give you more top-end but will lose low end power & quickness. A 1 tooth larger countershaft sprocket does the almost same thing as a 2 teeth smaller rear sprocket. Also the bike may not be able to pull redline with too tall of gearing.
