I did this mod earlier this summer, absolutely the best change to the bike I have made. The rear spring is a little bouncy at the recommended preload. I have done a fair number track days this year and had the suspension folks dial in the balance (limited adjustability dammit!). We had to...

Dammit!!!! I really watned to attend this year, the date wont work and I just saw this thread. Made Deals Gap in June, really wanted to head south to Austin. Next time I guess, ride safe and take pics so we can live vicariously through you!!

Love my FZ6!! will be adding to the garage however, trying to decide between a dedicated track bike (most likely an R6) or a true supersport. Looking at the Triumph 675 and a Ducati 848 if I go that route. Wither way the FZ6 is staying put for the versatility and commuting. Frankly the FZ6 as I...

Seeing Speedygonzales track pics got me motivated to post some of my recent day at a track here i north Texas. the FZ6 hustles around a track quite nicely!! Traack Day at Cresson - a set on Flickr

+1 to wolfies comments. I went to deals gap in June with the group and ran my Road 2's with no issues whatsoever, it even rained a bit while we there and the confidence remained. I have even run them on the track my first 2 track days with no real problem. Great tire, if a little pricey.

Yep, I have it now for a little bit and still LOVE it! The fit is great, the chin bar is a little close but I have gotten used to it and really do not notice it much now. The airflow has been very much appreciated this summer here in dallas. it is remarkeably cooler than my Scorpion. As for...

Its a 32mm, it is large but worth a couple of bucks. Adjustable wrench works as well but I am a bit of a stickler on torquing bolts like this one.

A few of us ride with the North DFW Sportbike Riders group. Usually have a ride each week, some bike nights and trackdays as well. There is a website on Meetup.com if your interested, search for North DFW Sportbike Riders. Fun rides on backroad twisties mostly.

Actually had a nice group ride of about 200 miles today. Had one other FZ6 along with about 30 other bikes. spun around wast of Detnon this week. but we ride north and east of dallas quite a bit. Check out the North DFW SportBike riders website. We ride almost every weekend and get in about 1...

I bought this exact set (different color) about 5 months ago dammit!!! I really like mine if anyone is looking for leathers this is a great buy on a nice product!

A lighter CE level 1 that is built in to the jacket and an Alpinestars bionic for the track. Very comfortable, really do not even know it is there after 5 minutes.

Same thing here, I can run with the intermediate group quite well with my FZ and with a couple of more mods (sprocket changes, rearsets, etc) I am confident i could run near the front of this group or in the next group were it not the the ding dong guiding it around it the track. It's a great bike!

Riding on the balls of my feet, so it looks like rearsets are in my future....or I start looking for a dedicated track bike, and leave my FZ for commuting and road riding. Have to see what the wife thinks about that!

After 4 track days now the knee is getting down occasionally but the toes are dragging a fair bit. I presume my only solution (short of a new bike!!) is rear sets? Any thoughts or experiences with different mfg's for them? I looked at the Rizoma's, look great but way $$$$ I knew rearsets would...

I have run both the Road 2ct and Power 2ct on the track and found both worked similarly. The stress you put on a tire is based on your skill level and the bikes power. The road 2's were very good with no real "moments" of instability. The Powers are excellent on the track with our bike, the...

Ride Smart is hosting this one, they took it over when another group had to drop the days.

Nice new can, when you gonna haul that up to dallas to run around Cresson or Eagles Canyon?? Looks great, hope the tuning and PC work out. BTW, headin to the Eagles Canyon on 7/3 for track day number 4. It is VERY addictive, I am thinking about a track only bike now keeping my FZ for the commute.

Just purchased a new lid and thought I would share my initial impressions. Disclaimer note!!! All helmet reviews are subjective and you should try on many and find the one the fits best and is most comfortable. For reference, my former helmet is a Scoprion EXO-400. This was my first helmet...

First time using flickr, hopes this works. Deals Gap 09 - a set on Flickr

I have the non waterproof, love these boots they are excellent. Not sure the vents really do that much, i live in Dallas and have not had much in the way of heat issues so you should be ok. OR you could just ride FAST to keep the airflow up, lol!
