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

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