Hey guys hows it goin? Im a new rider and am looking to get an 07' FZ6. Im a heavier dude and i was wondering if anyone here knew how well the FZ6 might be for heavier guys(~230 lbs). Any advice or thoughts are welcomed/wanted.
Thank you all for the Welcomes and the quick response. This is almost most definetly the bike i will be getting. I hope to be on 2 wheels as soon as possible.
To start on, the stock suspension will be fine at your weight. If you decide to grow with this bike in terms of speed and skill, you may want to get the springs re-sprung to your weight. This will greatly improve the handling of the bike.
6'-2", 280 lbs here. I did drop the counter-shaft sprocket 1 tooth (15T currently), to get the gearing set for my riding style. Speedohealer takes care of the difference. Great bike & great choice! Welcome to the forum also!
