Default Rear suspension settings ZX6-R?

Hi all,

my zx feels like it fish tails around corners (if that makes sense) I've been told it could be the rear is too hard, any ideas?

Check tyre pressures.

Do you mean the tyre slides out from beneath you? I.e you are losing traction on the rear wheel?

Sort of loose traction but not it seems to run wide almost like going in to a powerslide, tyre pressures are spot on.

Too much compression/rebound/preload...

Id suggest finding the factory setting and dialling that in to see how it goes.

Also as Scoobs says, tyre pressures makes a lot of difference to how a bike handles.
