Weird... My dreams are very whacked out. I'd probably watch them though.

I'll be there this Sunday for the kart races.

Edit:

Wait a sec... MidOhio's web site shows bikes that day. I must have an old schedule.

I wouldn't say I've never pulled the fronts hard... I'm just worried about the consequences of doing so.

I've been on a bike for 14 years.

I will say the rears don't respond the way I think they should.

Interesting... I'll give it a go... I'm always paranoid to grab too much front...

I probably wont stay up there, although that's my kind of camping. I rode up last year to the super cycle weekend, it was kick ass.

Anyone else riding up?

Weight transfer and what not basically makes the rear brake virtually useless under hard braking.

I agree, I suppose. Maybe its because that old Suzuki was so heavy...

Like I said, I don't have enough ass in my pants to put pressure on the rear/ground. I sit forward too, I'm short as hell...

please tell me you are not trying to stop your bike by only using the rear brake...

hahaha...

No, I use both at the same time. I usually apply even pressure to the rear and front at various pressures as needed.

I just feel like the R6 is easy to skid. ...and I expected the 06 R6 to stop better than a 1978 Suzuki. It doesn't.

The pads are good. Cheap stockers though. I bought the bike with 6 miles on it at the end of 06.

its a yamaha what did you expect it to stop like

honestly my rear brakes are kinda weak, maybe need adjusted or new pads, but my front stops on a fucking pinpoint

Funny...

I don't know if I just don't have enough ass in my pants to put enough friction on the ground or what but I just feel like this thing doesn't stop like it should. I learned on a 1978 Suzuki GS750. That thing was heavy and when I hit the rear brakes, it stopped. My R6 seems like I either skid/lock up the back, or if I try to brake it just enough before it skids/locks up, it doesn't stop very fast.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

When I got my license, there wasn't a time limit. If you had your license, you didn't have to wear a helmet if you didn't want to. Now, I think you have to wait a year after you get your license, then you don't have to wear one...

I could be wrong...

By the way, you always need one...

You'll never get all the gas out of it unless you take it apart and flush it out.

1 year or less fill the gas tank full (and add stabil or another fuel stabilizer) so the air exchange tube cant suck in moist air as the tank expands and contracts with fluctuating temps and rust your tank from the inside.

1 year or more, you might want to drain the tank. Run stabil treated gas through the system, drain the tank, run the bike on an empty tank till it dies. Shut your tank valve off & Crimp off the air exchange tube. Its still going to be gummed up a bit though after that long. Gas goes bad, that's just the way it is.

Good luck in your decision. Sounds like you WANT to get rid of it...

Good stuff...

That was a bit hard... I am, however, The Master.

Great! Congrats!

If you like the bike, you have the room, and its payed off, keep it.

Put it up on stands. fill the gas tank all the way up and put stabil in it, run it for a bit to get the stabil through the system. Plug an old rag in the tail pipe. Take the battery inside, and through a tarp/cover over it.

What is that in the 2nd. video? It looks like a bicycle.

sickening...

wow that dude was lucky.....

Yeah...

Just out of CUriousity.....How often do you actually drink....and....Whats your weight?

155Lbs. 5' 6" I'm a homebrewer so I suppose I drink more than most, or at least more frequently. I enjoy quality beer but rarely ever have more than a few.

Hell no... I had 2 beers exactly once. I was amazed at how slow my reaction time/coordination was on the bike where I otherwise wouldn't have noticed. I was real uneasy... Never again.
