Just picked her up a few days back! Here's a couple of photos, complete with helmet hair:

Really liking the ride so far; I'd previously only ridden supersports and this one is a TON more comfortable and a much more realistic power band, while still having plenty of power to blast off if necessary. Happy with my purchase and thinking about taking some longer trips!
Here's a few minor questions:
1) Other than setting the tire pressure, adjusting the suspension to fit my weight, and of course the 600 mile oil change, are there any other maintenance sorts of things I should do?
2) Should I keep the rpm's beneath some particular level for the first 600 miles?
3) In terms of getting the warning labels and possibly the "FZ6R" decals off, my plan is just to use a blow dryer and a little bit of soapy water. Should I plan on anything else? For those of you with white FZ6R's, do you prefer the look with or without the decals??
4) Any thoughts on what oil to use? I'm probably just going to grab whatever cheap motorcycle oil they have at the Honda/Yamaha dealership.
That's it for now!
