Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
I've reset all the suspension back to stand now. The previous owner must've been the since and weight of Lorenzo.
Then I'll play around with them when out to get them right for me.
Moving the rear sets down feels a lot better too.
I even managed to get the TC going yet it's set on 3 currently to test what it feels like. I'll try it on 2 next ride out and then 1. The powers on F clearly
So the shopping list will be:-
- ASVs stubbies in black
- quickshifter Healtech I reckon
- rear sets yet no idea what
- maybe get fatter grips as well
Man the bikes amazing it really is a 600 in wolfs clothing.

Glad your liking it buddy .
I run it in Full power mode and TC on level 2 on the road which is the best setting imo.
Gearing and QS will transform the bike into even more of a mentalist 600

No sorry Cornish no experience of that particular brand.
I bought Rizoma knurled foot pegs and carbon heel guards for the OEM item and been really happy with them if that's another option. The Rizoma machined footer is much offers much more grip than the OEM slippy items.

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
someone on a facebook zx6r page has those rearsets. They've started to rust after a couple of weeks. Looks like they've used cheap parts.

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Bit late but as Kwacky said, those are shite. They 2006 model of them were on my track bike when j bought it, like cheese! The foot pegs were drooping from the bent plates and all the placement adjustment holes threads were corroded and stripped.
I put Vortex on mine, took a 130 km dump on the LH side and only damage was a ground down foot peg, which actually acted as a frame slider and saved a lot more damage.

Had a cracking day out on the bike today. What fun. It's a missile so have to be careful. Having reset the suspension to standard it's a better ride for the time being.
Spent a lot of time in 1st and 2nd as advised so sprockets next job then.
Hope others had a good time too. Cornish.

It will go faster if you sit on the bike the other way, Cornish.

Here's rocket. It feels quite small (I'm 6"2) like a 600 to ride, yet with a nuclear reactor as an engine.rocket wrote:Looks nice glad your getting on with it. It looks tiny in that photo.
