If you want it tuned closer to your weight and riding style you might have to put in heavier springs but probably not.
I suggest calling Traxxion Dynamics for their advice as they are great at determining what you probably want based on your weight and riding style/expectations and can compare the set up in the bike you are buying.
One other thing, request the stock parts from the original owner as well. That always adds to the resale value later as the mods can be reversed if desired. Can't imagine why one would reverse the suspension mods on an FZ09 unless they were totally screwed up.
Well, I lost out on the bike I was discussing, owner decided to keep it. I passed on an '09 at a dealer for $6900, it had less than 1000 miles. Next, I almost had a deal for a 500 mile bike for $6,300, but the owner sold it locally (I was about 4 hours away). I also saw one sell on ebay for $6,100, 30 miles on it, lol. Maybe some day .... but also looking at other makes/models.
