Well the first track outing has been completed.. it was a very interesting 'shakedown' session....!! I love the feel of this bike... So light, easy to throw around, braking is awesome... Lock into a turn and it stays there like on rails.. but I know it can be better...
As I have never set up this model ZX6 for the track before, I was just feeling my way through.... I did notice straight away that there was not enough weight on the front wheel like I am used to, I wanted it to feel more planted.. also I found the gearing set up to be very critical..I tried 3 different rear sprockets, but I think I have the right one now... I also missed my quickshifter... badly !! and I felt it was a definite must to keep the momentum going..
Suspension I felt was very firm both ends, but I like the rear feeling at this stage, the front I am slowly backing off to get more travel without being so harsh, but I know this will be a few days of tweaking as I am getting faster to get right..
So some new mods already completed for the Easter ride days, Alloy AFAM 43 tooth rear sprocket fitted, 15 tooth Ultralight front, Annitori QS Pro fitted, 4mm Spacer fitted to the rear shock, Forks slid through the triple clamps 4mm... Oh and I also fitted the R&G tank sliders.. (Look great - perfect fit !!)
So it's all ready for Friday and Monday.... Cant wait.. It will be getting painted after this test...
