why does our bike feel like it doesnt wana lean over
ok so i like our bikes alot by what about it makes it feel like you really have to heave it into the corners? its like it just wants to be straight up. Ive riden my friends yamaha YZF and it just dives into the turns if you know what i mean, like it wants to fall over(not uncomfortable by any means but just not like ours), is it the seat hieght? what the heck causes it?

Tires and tire psi play a big role in dive in of a bike. Also I believe the R6 is a little lighter than RR with a higher center of gravity. Could be a coulpe other things too I've never owned a R6. When you figure out how the bike should be set up for your weight and style you won't ever feel that way again. Trust me.
Can I get an AMEN from the congragation. Please?

I think it is spelled congregation and AMEN brother 13brsxsrr (we gotta name nick for this guy!!)
First thing you should do is once you buy your ride is set up the suspension to fit your weight and riding style...owner's manual walks you through it
First mod on the bike!!

That's some strong advice about setting up your suspension properly too...and don't forget about using proper technique!

I thought the same thing when I got my bike. My RR is my first bike ever and with the larger tire I just felt like it took a lot to get the bike to lean over. With tire pressure. Do I go with what the manual says?? What is a good PSI to have the front and rear tires at for cruising around town and the highway??

I run my fronts around 36-37 and the rears around 40-42 on the street... 32 and 35 on the track... Set the suspension up to your weight, I don't know what you guys are talking about with all this pushing I look one way and my bike is there... Just take the time to set your sag and compression... stiffening up the stock suspension is the way to go but it'll blow your seals sooner if you're not careful. read the manual and to see what all the adjustment is, and then go here http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=31578
