To all those interested, here is some info on race tech developments. I've noted certain characteristics which seems to be addressed by this announcement. http://www.racetech.com/HTML_FILES/FZR6_project.html

Race Tech gear is very good and the best bang for the buck you can do. Springs are about $99 to $109, emulators about $189, Rear spring about $109. The shock rebuild is a bit more cost but well worth it. With the front and back end mods your bike will be a totally different animal.
Give 'em a call, nice folks.
did you do this upgrade already? Review?

I saw your vid, were you dragging peg? Your looked okay to me. I was dragging on my FZ6 and ended up installing some rearset set back plates, they solved the problem. Not sure if anyone makes any for your bike.
A good and properly set up suspension will get you around the track faster than any motor work. Oh and good tires too. Not sure what the stock tires are but I'm sure they're not really up for the track.
From the brief view of your position in the vid you need to get off the seat more, and move you upper body out and lower. You want your face to be where your mirror is. See Ben Spies photos. That will lower you center of gravity and allow your bike to be more upright = less peg drag.
If you keep your bike for the track it sounds like you may need to just get a complete set of rearsets. The frame on the R is totally different from the 6 so the set back plates will not work.
The pegs must be much lower on the R than the 6, I was cranking pretty good before they were dragging.
Did you remove the peg feelers?
Sorry to T/J Joloy!
