    I have an 05 ZX6R , I know that the front forks are a weak point in the suspension . I was wondering if I could swap them out with a ZX10R forks?? Can anyone tell me ? :confused::confused:

    Why not get some aftermarket components in your stock forks than to switch to another model?

    Changing them to the stock zx10 forks is going to make no improvement at all.

    I was told that the zx6 forks were smaller & had a habit of tucking under heavy breaking? that's why I was thinking about the swap.. But if ohlins will help out with this , I'll look into it..

    You need to re spring the bike for your weight. That is going to help a ton.
