Hello, I'm a new FZ6R owner (2 weeks), and I am enjoying the bike. I just wanted to ask about the front end, particularly cornering..in short it feels "washy". I've done some searches on forks, springs, fork oil, fork braces, t1res and such but I can't seem to match exactly what I'm experiencing to one or any of the above. On my previous Suzuki I had a set of progressive springs with 15wt oil and a fork brace and handling was very good and tight. I'm just wondering if this is just "how this bike is" or if there is something specific I can do to reduce the washy cornering feeling. I don't want to start "trying" things if there is a known solution. Its an 09 with 11,000kms, and the PO put on a new set of Dunlops last fall, they have less than 1000kms on them and the bike was just safetied, other than a different windscreen and the passenger seat cover, the bike is bone stock. I'm now the second owner. Feel free to deflect me to a thread if one exists on this specifically, I searched for a while and couldn't find anything directly, but if what I'm describing = an exact fix I'm VERY interested. I'm liking everything about the bike, but would love to know if this is fixable. I feel it even when just casually riding in turns, nothing aggressive. I'm 5'9 -175lbs.

Thanks for any assistance.
