Ok, A Little Advice . . .
I also posted this in the ZX6R Forum:
I have a friend who had to get her six lowered so she could actually get her feet on the ground. My question is, can she shorten the wheel base to eliminate some of the heavy feeling in the curves?

If it is lowered only in the back, the forks need to be slid up so the front matches the rear.
'Course, It's harder to do if you didn't measure everything first.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Yeah, the forks were slid up as well. Just wondered if shortening the wheelbase would eliminate some of that stretched feeling.

If you try and shorten the wheelbase in the stock swingarm you could run into a problem of not having enough slack to get the chain on.(if that makes any sense).

Put on a bigger sprocket in the rear, that will shorten it up and give the bike a little more pep.

Also, just a silly little tip,,,,,,,, how are the tires? If they are older and worn, that will slow the handling as well. Fresh rubber does wonders for initial tip in.
