Hmmm...
I dont have a problem with my kidneys, I dont generally have a problem hurting my balls (although I did the other day, but that was because I was hard on the brakes when i hit a pothole)... I have never had a tankslapper.... You guys are a bunch of girls....

i dont find the suspension that bad and i only weigh 68kg
I weigh about 82kg's plus riding gear & even with the lighter rear spring, I still cop a flogging from the harsh suspension!
I think you need to sample some other 600's & see how bad you have it, because I didn't think it was too bad until I rode a mates 03 R6 & realised how bad I had it.
The "Best you know is the best you've ridden" I guess that applies to girls as well?:p

Ive ridden CBR's and R6's and have had them close to tankslapping, but the ZX6R doesnt have that inclination..... or at least not to the extent that the other 2 did...

The 6rs seem to do it when you hit a seam in the bitumen at full throttle in second or third theres a seam where the bitumen joins out where varden had his incident and i have had mine waglling a bit but tend to back off before it gets violent.
I have had a bit of it out on the patch on turn 2 and has leaning right over the front coming out of turn 1 to keep the front on the ground last track day, I have the damper screwed up full hard too.
My front end is diferent with heavier springs and diferent damping to a stock one.
Be nice to get a track where the features are the corners rather than changiing your lines to dodge the lumps each time you go out.
Stereo your additional weight may be a factor in all this.

Probably right.... I am able to bring a fair bit of weight onto the front when required....

I'm with Varden on this one, you gotta open the throttle "All" the way to get a tankslapper.
