I must have got your number. And what are you 16 with all that name calling? Real mature, and makes you sound so educated.... NOT!! GTFU, if you cant handle the truth you need to stay in your moms basement. I hear Harley is having a sale, you better check on it.

Grow some ***** get a hair cut a job pop your cherry and move on flamer. btw you little prepubisant school girl. I don't claim to be any smarter than anyone else.

you can get aftermarket rearests which will allow you to adjust your foot position.
as far as power, the 07/08 600rr is as powerful as litre bikes were a few years ago so you are fine there. the only thing you might want to look at is suspension
www.racetech.com has a spring weight calculator
you didnt say what year 600 you were looking at so here are some numbers
for your weight on an 07 600RR

stock fork spring rate 1.0
recommended spring rates
street .943 *so you have more spring than you need for the street
racing 1.008 *so you are only .008 kg/mm off ie just fine

stock shock rate 11.0
recommended spring rate
street 11.22
racing 11.78

for the 05/06 600rr

stock fork rate .83 with same recommended rates for your weight so you would have to respring or the bike would handle like crap

stock shock rate 11.0 same as the 07

for the 03/04 600RR
stock fork rate is .814 so it would be even further off
stock shock rate is 11.0 again

so hope all this helps,
spring swaps are easy if you need it and a properly set up suspension will make a huge difference to any bike.


I'm 230 lbs riding an 05 600RR, all stock suspension. I ride only on the street with some wheelieing, looks like I need to respring. This is some good info! Feel free to shoot me some recommendations, as far as springs go, for my size if you got em.

I havent seen you web site, sorry. And just because you have pix on a web site doesnt mean its really yours. And FYI I am prolly older n experience more in life than you could have dreamed of. I stated my opinion, if you dont like it, nor agree with, thats your choice. But dont attack me and make a lame attempt to insult me when you dont even have a clue who I am, wtf I have. SO you get a life or get you mfring facts straight JR!

go to the racetech webpage and look them up. they have a lot of items there to make your suspension better and you might want to take a look at other items besides springs
