Hey, I wanted to join a Kawasaki specific forum just because they are the best bikes :D

I have owned a 2006 ZX6R (636) for almost 2 years now. I have done about 6 or 7 track days at QLD Raceway. Do enjoy social rides but not as much as track days.

Hope to go on some rides soon, once this awesome rain has cleared

Nah no pilots licence. I dont have an insert for my pipe so naturally i cant go to lakeside, but when i do get around to getting one and I head up to lakeside I know i will be good at right hand corners

Just a little joke about how much air u get on the front straight at Q/R... u get so much air, u need clearance from the air traffic control..... hopfully now all fixed......

ohk i thought it might be that hahahaha but then again the RAAF base is only down the road :oops:

I got air inbetween turns 1 and 2, the bump was perfect for that

I want to but being a Uni student really makes me poor. Does anyone know how much a baffle for my bike would be?

The trick between turn 1 and 2 is to run wide just before that bump,and get right on the edge of the track, as in, u can run right on the edge of the grass!!! yep it opened my eyes when i was told that to, but it works....
Hopefully that is all fixed with the relay???
Not sure about baffels, but im pretty sure that there is a DB level, my understanding after talking to the guys at champions that pretty much anything other than stock pipes, may be to loud... but depends on how quiet u can make it... counts me out... will be getting back up home soon to do Q/R, and would have loved to have ridin lakeside again..

I know someone who had a yoshi pipe on a cbr600rr and then got the baffle installed. After that he got his pipe tested during a trackday and was given the ok to do Lakeside so its not impossible

If its that low, a stock zx6r will fail. It's plated as 96dB.
