New owner of an 09 FZ6

[Uncle_nospeed]

How's it going fellow riders,

Just introducing myself to the forum, and I noticed this site has an abundant amount of information. I see my self spending some nights soaking it up haha. I have been riding for about 4 years now and have owned a handful of bikes. The first being an 06 Zzr 600, 12 ninja 650, 07 GSXR 600, and currently the 09 Fz6 and 06 Zzr 600 (track bike). I love track days and eventually want to do a local season once I feel I am fast enough. On nice days I enjoy riding the twisties through the mountains of the bay area.

The Fz6 has the single headlight conversion along with the 04 r6 forks that have been modified with racetech Springs. That's what actually sold me on the bike, and the look as well but after getting her home I noticed some things that need my attention. She needs front rotors and pads, and tires (the tires are about 30% but the way I ride means they have to be changed asap).

Even though she needs some work, I am happy with the purchase and I already have the image of where I want her to be once I am done. I apologize for the long right up, but I look forward to the information you guys have to offer.... cheers!

Have you tried Thunderhill yet? I did a track day last year. It was a blast! Nice track! But it's a haul from Reno.

Might go again soon. Working on dates that work in everyone's schedule. My husband, my 20 year old son, and I plan on going. Taking the whole Fam Damily.

O yes plenty of times, on east and west haha. This year I opened the season at Laguna and man was it a blast, that track is all corner speed , loved it. Thunderhill is a good track to get comfortable leaning it over while working on body position. The straight that comes off the hill is great corner to practice your trail braking technique as well. I actually have another track day coming up on May 7th, doing Laguna again.

And that's awesome that the whole family does it! I have tried to get friends to do it but they are not into it as much as I am... so I stay solo like Jason Derulo haha. I usually just link up with buddies I have made at the track. If you plan on doing another track day let me know, I will make sure to plan it out and make it to that day.
