Hey guys, I just got a new yellow 2002 ZX6R and it is sweeeeet. I got it for a pretty good price because they were clearing the floor for the 2003's. I am totally new to sport-bikes (actually this is my very first bike ever) and I was just wondering what mods I should start with? I was reading some of the discussions and I have no clue what some of the items are. ie. Fender Eliminator. I would like to improve the performance first like add K&N air filter, steering damper (whatever that is) and then move on to minor things like graphics(the yellow ZX's seem to lack them), gold: windshield (if they make them), foot-pegs, bar-ends, rims, etc... Oh, another question is, My body weight is 195lbs, what is a good suspension setting for this weight? People in the cars that I ride behind think that I am flashing my highbeams when I hit small bumps in the road. One guy threatened to kick my ass <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> -- I laughed.

ive had my yellow zx6r since mid august(i got yellow cuz its the fastest, ask around) and ive been riding since late september. its also my first bike. my advice from experience, is to take it slow. my friends have f1's and ducatis and i know it might feel bad to be left behind, but only cuz i lack experience. im going to take the msf course in december(cuz its very popular) because its very highly recommended by these guys....the experts. have fun on your zx6r and take off those stickers like the rest of the yellow zx6r's around here. it be faster with no mods!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> ask for a catolog from kawasaki on their motorcycles and in the ad forzx6r you will see we are number one, or very highly ranked, in racing.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
