I have found that draining the oil on the side stand gets a good bit more out than when on the center stand. Then I tip it even further over and get another bit out.

I know a couple of people that went with 190s and hated it. I don't know anyone that did it and liked it. They say the turn-in is brutally slow.

You could do it all yourself quicker than the day you'll waste at the dealer. Oil and brakes should take 1-1 1/2 hours.

Very nice write up. These look like they would fit a Gen-1. Anyone know?

^^^ Ditto all of the above. The FZ is a lot of fun at the track. So it the R6. But they are very different.

The FZ it a hoot on big tracks. Road Atlanta.

I'll be at the track this weekend in Jennings. 80 degrees.

I understand your thinking, but I see it differently. I care more about me dying than the guy wrenching on my stuff. If I do it, I know it is done right. You made this point when you had to take it back.

Unfortunately, they will just sell it to someone else.

125cc with an auto transmission

At 4k RPM I'm showing 62MPH, real speed is closer to 57-58.

PR3s. You won't be sorry.

Don't buy a street bike. Buy a track bike that is already setup. It's cheaper all the way around. You will want frame sliders at the very least, and you can add other stuff later.

Exactly what I did, verbatim. I got tired of taking the FZ apart and putting it back together. I wanted track tires. The bars are all wrong. And at the end of the day I was beat from hauling the 500 lbs around all day. I got a 06 R6s and haven't looked back. It feels as fast as the FZ, but...

I'll tell you how to carry a helmet if you tell me how to pick up girls.

Big bump...$2250!!!

No, you shouldn't. You should ride at about 80% of your comfort level, leaving some wiggle room for mistakes and buffoons. I think you would have a better experience if you ride with a more "structured" organization next time. Like STT or Nesba.

There is a huge difference between Track riding and racing. You cannot compare the two. There seem to be two problems here. Either the OP is not ready to move up to novice, or the CR's and corner workers were not doing their job. Or both. I am putting my bet mostly on the latter. I'll...

:ditto: ^^^What he said

Why are you never going to hit the track? The FZ is a blast on the track. It's a good way to get to know the machine.
