I want my 2009 ZX-6R to go faster. What's the best way to boost its top speed, should I tweak the gears, flash the ECU, or swap the exhaust? Got any tips or setups that really work?
 
faster as in top speed? Upgraded sprockets, exhaust and an ecu tune should od the trick, but not sure how much you'll get. Plus, there are several sprocket options for these models, so the overall performance won't be the same.
 
@Splintering1 gave some good advice, but failed to mention something, safety. Upping the top speed means you'll be pushing the tires more and you'll ask more of the brakes which aren't tested to those limits. Consider making those upgrades as well to keep yourself safe.

here's a tip for a simple top speed boost, change your gearing. Go down 1-2 teeth on the rear sprocket.
This will increase your top speed but will slightly reduce your low end acceleration. Remember to get a speedo healer to correct your speedometer.
