Crossing fingers for weather

I picked up an FZ-09 from Motorsports Pickering in the winter. There's a few Yamaha dealers between me and Motorsports Pickering, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Stand up dealer, great service.

Here's another vid, mostly following a rider on green bike and white leathers. Pass it on if you know the rider. http://youtu.be/8KV0XSmMG6s?list=UUMDwLaVe4GYWojoBSdRzmww

My Hindle race (straight through) can on my R6 passes with flying colours. I vote you'll have nothing to worry about.

Yes, I agree that those first session times were nothing that anyone wants to hear about lol... it was greasy out there!

Right side was worse. I adjusted rebound in both directions. No change to wear. 1:41 sounds quite fast! I use the timestamp from my gopro as my lap timer... ghetto.

Holy crap, I was going nuts trying to figure out why my tire looked like this: At first is started off looking like cold tearing. Dave was checking my carcas temp and it was around 50°C after coming off (in morning). It looked like a suspension issue also as it had a waveform to it. Didn't...

Too bad, always nice to put a face to a name. Did you have the two Boston dogs?

I was challenged with rear traction all day. Adjusting tire temps, pressure, rebound. Dont have much experience on fresh new pavement. The track was indeed a bit greasy. Props to Sheena for aceing her first riders meeting!

One of the afternoon sessions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBbmAzm_k14&list=UUMDwLaVe4GYWojoBSdRzmww&feature=share

55 On my 600 I ran -1/+1 and was hitting 3rd gear several times per lap.

I'll be there, probably spending morning trying to fight the leathers on!

Great day - fun track.

Standard shift here. Replacement rearsets are cheaper!

New shoes and sprockets mounted up, and installed a QS for poops and giggles.

You're much more demanding of a dialed suspension than I am. I'm 220, and rode 2-up in the smokeys for 3 days straight. The only negative effect of the undersprung front was excessive brake dive. Handled great otherwise. Riding solo on the dragon, and the suspension was perfectly fine, even...

The point is that statements (not actual reviews) saying suspension is "very poor" is a misnomer. The suspension is FAR from very poor. At least it came with adjustments. When the FZ8 came out, there weren't adjustments. The stock suspension is one of the few weaker points, but if anyone is...

I can't find any reviews that state the suspension is very poor as you stated. Snatchy throttle? These people obviously have never ridden a bike with a quick-turn throttle. Good to know there are options to upgrade mapping and suspension for this bike. Would have been a shame if tuners...
