Going to get myself booked for a newcomers track day early next year and want some advice on basic set up for the FZ6. pls chaps.
Basically, its a newcomers, i.e. never been on track before, thing so i dont need slicks or anything, but some simple tips would be handy.
Heavier weight fork oil? The bike dives bad enough on the street so on track it cud be scary. Rear preload to max?
Tyre pressures?
Removing centre stand etc?
Cant justify buying new tyres so my BT021's will have to suffice.
Will do the newbies track day and see how i feel, then might pimp the fazer more to suit or buy a dedicated track bike (tho at my budget they will be 12 to 15 year old bikes most likely so debatable whether or not they will be quicker)
Cheers,
Dave
