Congratulations Gippy on your purchase! You'll love the FZ6R!

Anyway, if you are talking about the break in, I didn't really follow the instructions exactly. I ride the bike normally, just making sure I don't red-line it.

On the highway, I don't try to stay on 6th gear the whole time. When safe, I slow down and go on 5th gear, after a little bit I go back up to 6th.

I'm sure the veterans here on the forum will have other suggestions for you.

Take care and again congratulations and welcome to the forum!

welcome! and he's talking about the "deristriction" of the bike in AU... they have a throttle stop limiter that keeps them at something like %40 of full throttle.

If you do a search for LAMS I believe you'll find the threads that cover it. We have a handful of AU users here so there is already some advice available.

Hey mate... I derestriced my bike after 1000 kms which they say is the run in period... Trust me you won't be disappointed once you derestriced it and do a few mods...

I went with black too. The red and white also looks great. Re the restriction: I think you need to go to "resart". Also agree with Drew you'll love the bike with full power. Read up on insurance issues ect, just so you know, and ride safe

ps derestricted mine at around 1500 (10,000 done now) klms from memory.
