racing my tuned 2024 zx6r on the track !

My FIRST ever time bringing this bike to the track.
I am familiar with this track due to my Ninja650, yet everything feels so different!
this clip was taken before lunchtime, meaning this was still me getting used to the bike. My last session of the day was my fastest, on average 5mph faster through every apex. Not to mention I got a lot more comfy with early exits and late entries!
* Some things I noticed I could improve*
- wider lines
- more trail braking
- more extreme body positions for earlier throttle
- adjusting the shifter
- adjusting the throttle
- adjusting my suspension
- later shifts (i wasn’t even in the peak powerband)
- and A LOT more water
a reminder to please give me solid advice on how to improve, not silly criticism. This was NOT my fastest session by any means, and I corrected a few things by the end of the day.
I hope you all enjoyed, please like and subscribe if you wanna see more!! (I will be returning in February)

So dope dude ! Looking forward to this season for track days ✌️

[@blizzthebike]

me too! everyday is a new chance to improve

[@LSB44446]

Hell yeah! Putting the bike where it was built to be

i love ur videos

Magnificaca 🔥🚀

dope video,

[@stevenbuteaux]

Great riding..a steering stabilizer on that bike will greatly help you out from the from end shakes.n

[@blizzthebike]

oh i’m sure. But in a way it’s kind of fun. Definitely does not really affect me, and reminds me to stay as smooth as possible

[@zz-ic6dx]

looks like alot of fun i need to get my ass to a track

[@hengweiteh]

hi , great video! Do you have any tips on how to rev match while braking ?

[@cnmillican01]

Yeo I was in the same group with you on that track day. I was the first bike in your line on the first clip. That’s sick I didn’t have any photos or videos.

[@blizzthebike]

no wayyy😂 that’s so funny. Hope you had fun bro, the weather was fantastic up until the last few sessions of the day. Try DMing “thebreaknecklife” on IG, he’s @floridatrackdays photographer and might randomly have a shot or two of you!

[@cnmillican01]

@@blizzthebikethank you I appreciate that. Imma do the track day on January 20th you going?

[@blizzthebike]

@@cnmillican01 Jan20th is with N2trackdays right?? (never went to their events but I heard they’re top notch) I most likely won’t go as it’s too late into the month for me, but I’ll definitely be back early February with FTD!💪🏼

[@cnmillican01]

@@blizzthebike ah damn yeah I’m doing the n2trackday. I wanted to do the February Florida track day but all my friends want to go the 20th. I’ll be seeing you around

[@5salut]

If I see myself on the track for the first time🤷🏻‍♂️ practice, will be fine🤙🏻

[@Footflyer]

Was this your first TD? It doesn’t appear so but if it was good riding man, passes were clean and you are riding smart around others and within your limits. It all comes down to seat time realistically but a few takeaways I could leave you with are these: 1: focus on fundamentals and the pace will come naturally 2: smoother throttle input on corner exits 3: try to have more consistent lines and brake markers 4: ask CR’s for their opinions and be open minded to their advice! If you ever want to go ride on track i’m in central FL, have a ‘20 and ‘05 zx6r (track only) just holler!

[@blizzthebike]

thank you my man I really appreciate this, I’ve done several TDs on my 650, yet the difference between these two bikes are insane. This was the first time bringing my 636 to the track so I wasn’t really pushing it till the last few sessions of the day. But I definitely felt the things you mentioned. Next event is in early February, I hope to correct my lines and to adjust my throttle cable so my throttle inputs are much more linear!! also, what track do you race at? I’d love to try out a new layout eventually!!

[@Footflyer]

@@blizzthebike I just started riding in March of this year and frequented JGP a lot because it's only 2hrs from my house but I also ran Road Atlanta twice (you HAVE to go sometime!) and then Daytona in October for my first races and got bumped to white plate for 2024 season. Which is why I picked up the '20 to build something a bit more competitive for next year running WERA, PanAmSBK, and ASRA. I'll probably come down in Feb to shake down the new rig but you're welcome to take the 05 for a few laps if you want, it's very well setup and it's just my B bike now. I'll shoot you a DM feel free to hmu with any questions brother!

[@recklesscanadian]

Good track ride it. Be cool to see you have a third person you cam, or another angle.

[@blizzthebike]

definitely bro, i was thinking of attaching my old hero5 session on the tail of my bike to showcase my body positioning The goal is for a 360 cam but I have other priorities haha!

Hey man, did you noticed some good gains from tuned bike vs stock? What kind of modiff you had done? Many thanks!

[@blizzthebike]

performance wise i’ve done, race spec air filter hiflo oil filter full system Tech1 m4 exhaust 2wdw velocity stacks 2wdw block off plates 2wdw ecu flash putting down 128whp, i definitely feel a HUGE jump in performance lol. The bike absolutely pulls it’s insane even if the top speeds are the same (STOCK GEARING) a simple sprocket swap would unlock the topend. You can literally feel the WANT to keep accelerating past 155mph.

[@eneshan8681]

i love u

[@mova_2020]

Damn it was awesome. What is the track name bro?

[@blizzthebike]

ty bro! Homestead Miami-Speedway

[@mova_2020]

@@blizzthebike damn beautiful. I am in LA. No way we have anything similar to this ✌🏼

[@L4WNY..]

Helpful tip.......bring a GoPro charger with ya!! 😉😝

[@blizzthebike]

oh i always do, but never remember to plug it in 😂!

[@BrizzyTV.]

What benefits have you notice from the Tune?

[@blizzthebike]

way better performance, smoother and controllable engine braking, smoother roll-on throttle, smoother QS shifts especially at low speed, way cooler temps (due to fans turning on earlier), perfect fuel ratios, idk the list goes on and on and on lol. Very worth it, the only thing the bike is missing is proper gearing. 5th and 6th are too short for 128whp lol.

[@BrizzyTV.]

@@blizzthebike that’s sounds nice actually! Especially the QS and fans bro, I feel like this bike is definitely on the warm side all the time

[@blizzthebike]

@@BrizzyTV. Yea hahaha the early fans make a huge difference it’s crazy. 😂It’s actually hard to warm up the bike to temp on cold days LOL!! Keeps it nice and below 215 no matter how hard you abuse her. Those days of coming off the highway and my bike almost over heating at a red light were HORRIBLE

[@Drewrides89]

Will you be able to put an autoblipper on the 2024 model?

[@blizzthebike]

i forgot what brand, but I’m certain you can. i would love to add auto blip and launch control… which would be done through a 3rd party ride by wire system.

[@Drewrides89]

@blizzthebike if they are able to then ill switch from the R6 to The kawi

[@PEZ1514]

What tyres you using? Also replace the OEM fairings. Dont wait you will crash and be sad.

[@blizzthebike]

oem tires at 33/30psi, very soft and grippy. I’m on my stock fairings because this is mainly a street bike (always using it on the streets) I don’t know if the effort of removing and reinstalling the oem fairings and lights for some race plastics is worth it for 1 event every other month!!😆 The goal is to have fun, and progress, without taking a tumble. Baby steps!

[@PEZ1514]

@@blizzthebike no need for race fairings. I would get street fairings. Takes about 15-20 mins to swap the fairings.

[@Rich_Newell_]

Do you still have the Ninja650?

[@blizzthebike]

yea, don’t ride her anymore tho. I need to sell her

[@Rich_Newell_]

@blizzthebike ​I ride a 2021 Ninja650. I live in South Miami and work on Southbeach. Its a great bike for commuting to work back. I've thought about getting a ZX6R or ZX10R, but haven't decided.

[@blizzthebike]

@@Rich_Newell_ the 650 is super comfy!! so different than a supersport. I personally love my 6R, It’s way more balanced than the 1000 but at the end of the day… the top speeds are completely different! Would I swap my 2024 636 for a 1000? NO! While I’d love to have both the 6R and a future gen 10R… imo nothing can replace the absolute perfection of my 636

[@41ch]

Don't be that guy constantly revving his engine while in the pits, or while waiting to go out. HTH

[@blizzthebike]

Lol, I don’t have fancy auto blip like these new 1000s. So would you like me to sit in the back of the parking lot waiting for my bike to warm up past 140???? After my tune my fans kick on early, great for street not rlly for track. Genuinely don’t understand what you’re saying lol. Come to next event and tell that to dudes with s1ks and ducatis who go RURURURURURURURU while leaving the paddocks.

[@mbag012]

Ok I'm just gonna assume everything else is dandy. I'll just give my 2 cents. Accelerate as much as possible when you do. Try go full throttle whenever you can, as fast as you can. Brake as hard as you can when you do, and fade into a trail brake. And then try to minimize the time when you are not full gas or full brake. Welcome to your new expensive ass addiction.

[@blizzthebike]

I appreciate it man. Every session I’ve been pushing just a bit harder than the last. Near the end of the day I really got comfy with my bike and throwing it into late braking points. slow and steady💪🏼

[@KHIJAPAN]

The track is not good at all. Very bad asphalt!

[@blizzthebike]

It’s better than it seems. Very smooth and sticky, there’s some patches here and there but those have 0 effect when it’s dry! A full resurfacing would be nice.

[@KHIJAPAN]

@@blizzthebike This is exactly what I mean. Full resurfacing, otherwise is dangerous
