Hi everyone,
I took the MSF course in August 2013 and bought a used 2005 Kawasaki Ninja 500R which I just sold on Saturday after riding around 1200 miles. The dealer was selling a 2013 FZ6R for $4999 and a 2013 FZ8 for $5999. It seemed too good to pass up, especially with the adjustable suspension. It felt pretty comfortable at the dealer. I'm 5'10" and probably 225 lbs with gear, so far I am finding the seat hard but hoping it just needs some use to soften up a bit. I'd welcome anyone's input on adjustments they have made on the suspension or if they think it is fine as is. Looking at fender eliminators, radiator cover, belly pan, frame sliders, tank pad. Any recommendations of things you are happy with, or don't like, are welcome.
Rode it home yesterday for 25 miles and today I did another 25 miles. A little busy during the week as a stay at home Dad. Hard to have the free time and good weather lately.
