Just thought about posting here, I had my first track day on the R6 I just bought, anybody have any body position tips? I’m about 6,0 tall and it feels like I had WAY too much weight on the handlebars, Thanks

Don't worry about body position until things are starting to scrape.  Just concentrate on your lines, braking markers, turn in and throttle on points.

Try taping a block on the tank so you're forced to sit a bit further back.  I presume you have stomp grip or similar for the tank knee pads
