Buried it. RIP Totaled it yesterday. Bought a new one today.

Mid-life noob 57 next month, and loving the new FZ6R. Got my endorsement July 1, rode my daughter's Ninja 250 for 2 months before the 6R. It's a great beginner 600, and I'm totally hooked.

Thanks for the input, guys.

What new tires did you choose?

Trail braking seems to be for the highly experienced rider, which I am not yet (Trail braking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). And I didn't have this issue on the Ninja even though I am taking the turns essentially the same. The factory front tire is Dunlop Sportmax.

Started riding July 1 on my daughter's Ninja 250, and also bought a blue 09 FZ6R a week ago. The Ninja was a great first bike, but I absolutely love my new one, and have put nearly 500 miles on it already in the Colorado foothills!
