I've had my FZ6 for several weeks now, and have put it through it's paces in the twisties. I'm not an advanced rider, but I want more out of the suspension. The front end dives under breaking, and feels unstable in turns. It is very, very soft and springy. It may actually be low on oil; I'll find that out soon.
I've just ordered racetech springs for my weight and riding style, 5wt oil, and cartridge emulators. I will adjust sag front and rear for my weight as well. Have you all had noticeable improvement with the racetech products? Will I need to also upgrade the rear to fully reap the benefits? At some point I think I may end up replacing the rear shock entirely if I find I want more out of the bike. I do plan to do some track days. I don't want to get too carried away with the FZ though, as at some point the solution to everything is to buy and R6.
I'm also replacing the original, circa 2007 tires with a pair of Battlax Hypersport S22. My racer/track day enthusiast friend recommended Dunlop Q4 as his track day tire of choice, and the Battlax as close second for more street than track. I probably won't be on the track as often as he is so I chose the Battlax.
Thanks in advance for any experience you can share with the racetech stuff.
