hi picked up my zx6 today haveing problems adjesting to it can neone help

[fall off]

sorry mate explane a little more ? on how to adjust the shock ? foot pegs etc or on the riding side of it ?

[Ride-or-die]

i think he means adjusting to it, it riding it as it was so unlike his 125, correct?

[nori1000]

id take it steady for a while,its a big jump from a 125 to a 100bhp missile and be carefull with the throttle cause if u pin it back to the stop like u have to on a 125 ull be doing wheelies b4 u realy want to

[rs125nut]

ye i found that out before but i guess it just takes time and practice

[nori1000]

alternatively jump on it and cain it to within an inch of its life :twisted:

Bigger brakes, dont grab em as hard.

Bigger engine, be more progressive with the throttle instead of grabbing handfulls in one go like on the RS125.

More weight, plan your moves sooner especially on the corners and be ready for the corner when you get there and not when you are half way round it :D

Just be progressive and take it easy as you get used to it, once you have got the handling and the weight sorted, you will probably feel a lot more comfortable knowing what the bike can do then when you hit the gas, but above all get out and practice on it :)

get the bike in second gear at about 9000rpm pin in all the way to 1400rpm scare the living day lights out of your self then you will calm down
when i got my vfr i thought i was rossi i opened it up in second then cryed all the way home
just be carefull watch out for the breaks
