I've been looking around for a track bike as an upgrade from my 09' FZ6R. I've been doing well with it in red group at tonys track days but it's weight and rider position really hasn't been what i've wanted. I looked around for an R6 and found an 05' that had gone down at a local dealer here in Nashua, NH.
I noticed it had been dropped when I bought it, and found out it was a clean title. So I bought it!
I didn't quite notice how off the handlebars were until I started riding it though, it drives straight, but it leans to the right on the highway and it certainly turns easier going right than it does left. Sure enough when i looked at it, the wheel and the triple tree assembly arent straight. A friend of mine pointed me to this Dave Moss video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbmF26_xPi8 and I gave it a shot. Loosening the lower triple tree didn't seem to do the trick.
The next thing I am going to try is getting it on a front stand and loosen all the triple tree clamps and try to straighten it then. Looking to see if anyone has any experience in doing this and can offer me some insight on what I should do. Obviously take it to a suspension shop is my last ditch effort, but i'd rather have the knowledge to do this myself.
Here's a pic with the front end removed that really shows how off it is.
Thanks for the help!
