Z3n
Jul 21, 2007

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
Pick up axle sliders too for the front and rear. I'd find some track fairings, strip everything extraneous off the bike, upgrade the brake pads to some thing like ebc HH pads, bleed the fluid with RBF600. Quickshifters are fun but ultimately a bit of a toy. Figure out your gearing at your local track, as long as you're somewhere within 3k or so of redline in top gear at the fastest section on the track you'll be fine. If you never use 6th, you'll wanna gear down. Keep the heavy stock battery.

Besides that, read twist of the wrist 2, make good use of your practice time, try and find some good instruction, and have fun!

Edit: oh, and snag a brake lever protector, just in case.

Oh, yeah, at least get the bike sprung correctly for your weight. Emulators are a good choice as well.

Switch gear connector is probably under the tank.
