[quote author=celticbiker link=topic=23040.msg266425#msg266425 date=1503139604]Think the first thing you'll notice is that you can hold a tighter line when accelerating out as the rebound will be doing it's job.

How do you know the rebound isn't doing it's job on the R6 shock? Unlike Kebab19 you don't say that you have personal experience of the R6 unit as well as your Nitron. Kebab19 is not the only person with direct experience of the R6 shock and a quality aftermarket whose opinion is that the R6 shock is as good as you need - http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,22826...#msg263578

You are absolutely correct, I have no experience of the R6 shock on the FZ1 but I do have experience of it on the R6 and it's just awful there.
Like all Yamaha shocks I have encountered it is way under sprung and under damped. To this end I only respectfully suggest that a shock designed to work for a large variety of riders on a bike that only weighs 190Kg is not going to work as well on a bike that weighs 220kg with different swingarm/linkage geometry as a shock that is specifically built for a riders weight, bike and riding style/requirements.
