Hello i have an 09 FZ6. was wondering if it is normal for the bike to want to turn itself under 20 miles per hour. The bars will fall into a turn on there on.
no that doesn't sound right.. unless you are leaning when you let go of the bars..
i would check the head bearings and see if the front wheel has a weight on it. the easiest way that i know to check the head bearings is to put the bike on the center stand, crouch down and use your shoulder to lift the front tire of the ground, then bat or slap the front wheel back and forth. it should go back and forth smoothly, if not then its probably your head bearings.. good luck!!

It goes fine in a straight line. the bars will want to fall in the direction i lean almost like it will turn it self. Now it did it last year at Deals gap i got back and put a new tire on it and problem went away. I will check the head bearings again with the mention method.

Sounds normal to me. If you are leaning the bike at a low speed, yes the steering will want to turn toward the direction of lean. Remember the difference between steering and counter steering? At low speeds you have to steer the way you want to go. At normal moving speeds (15 mph and above sounds about right) you push on the right bar to lean right and left bar to lean left.
