You should be fine for your first day. Not sure what your skill level is but those tires can handle the fastest novice pace and then some. I wouldn't go out and spend money on new tires until you become hooked.

There should be. Unless they are moving us coaches he's in Garage 6. Ask for Brett Woodard

It's not the compound, it's the carcass and Dunlops are the toughest to change.

I would call him and talk to him. I'm not surprised he doesn't have them on the site but he should be able to get them.

For Michelin race tires try Sportbiketireservice.com. Dave Grey is the owner and he should be able to hook you up. Not sure if he stocks sumo tires but he should be able to get them or at least tell you who can.

Here's a visual of what I mentioned above. Bottom right side of the pic show the lap time difference. Lost .7 of a sec on the brakes on the back straight. Just trying to help people understand how much time can be made up on the brakes.

Yeah, that's what is going on in my scenario and in reality translates to braking later since your not into the meat of your braking until later. I'll i'm trying to point out is saying you'll only gain a tenth is misleading. For me being good on the brakes is the most difficult piece to master and is where I'm leaving alot of time still.

I think this oversimplifies what happens in reality. I've got aim solo data that shows me getting outbraked at the end of the backstraight and losing just under 1 sec in just that part of the track. I can see where both of us hit the brakes and it's within 50 ft. I also ran a faster laptime 1.33.1 compared to 1.34.5. When i first got the other rider's data I was losing 1.4 seconds a lap just at the end of the back straight comparing a 1.35.xx laptime to his. I've been working on braking later but still have lots of time to makeup. Seeing this data has opened my eyes on where it is the truly fast guys are making their times.

200 HP would have been crank HP. 171 at the wheel with the ECU restrictions still in place makes 200 at the crank seem possible. I'd be happy with mid 180's at the wheel the way it sits. Someday I'll trailer it down to DTM and find out. I don't find myself complaining about power but I'd take some more ponies down the back straight at MO. The AIM shows GPS speed of 169.

I broke my 15 R1 in on DTM's dyno very similar to that article. Bike had 30 miles on it when i got there. Restricted, it made 171 hp. Curious what it makes now being flashed and 'loosened up'. Been ridden on the track ever since without any issue, roughly 3500 miles.

Yes, they do.

GoPro helped me the most with this. Just hearing how lazy I was in some parts of the track helped me charge into corners harder and also pick up the throttle sooner. For laptimer, I use an AIM solo dl now but had a regular xt laptimer for years. GPS is better if you can swing it as it gives you more info and can be sliced and diced whereas the xt only gives you a lap time. Xt can't compare sectors as easily as a gps unit will. You need additional beacons and I've never seen this done actually. The aim breaks each corner and straight into a sector and you can compare each lap. It also gives you a theoretical best time based on the fastest time of each sector. The other cool thing is you can compare a lap time from someone faster than you and see where they are faster.

I'll be there more than likely.

Barber is fine at those temps. I was just there a couple weekends ago with similar temps.You can run pretty hard with the temps in the 40's there.

I still can't believe this happened. Gonna miss riding and shootin the shit with Ryan at the track. You guys are right he was probably the most helpful guy in the paddock.

Is the sub dual or single voice coil? What ohms are the voice coil(s)? If dual VC how do you have them wired, series or parallel? What load is the amp stable to when ran mono? You need this info to see if the amp is seeing load it can't handle. Also check your ground and power connection. Are you running sufficient gauge wire for the amp?

Haha nice commentary. I tried but that kaw came out of the pits and got in between us.

Yes, I took mine to CCM and they were great. I had one issue with it leaking coolant and they drove up to Columbus to pick it up and drop it back off. Turned out to be the O-ring at the thermostat which they said wasn't even apart. They also noticed I was running engine ice and refilled it with that and asked what type of oil I used. Told them Rotella and they said they stock it since a lot of their dirtbike customers use it so they filled it with that also. Bike looks just like it did when I dropped it off. They even wired my filter and exhaust like I had it. It shifts fine but I'll still be nervous until I can hammer on it at the track.

Pretty sure I have an old salomon tracker in my basement. Would be in the size range you mentioned. I can check tonight and let you know. Id let it go for 50.00. It's just the board though.

Chevy traverse, GMC Acadia, or Toyota Highlander. Pretty sure they all have sliding rear seats.

The front stand? If so I'm interested. Where are you located?

Don't recall seeing anyone on here with an issue. Honestly I don't know of anyone personally that has had an issue. I've only heard of one racer that had problems and no one on the r1 forum reported issues so it's not a common problem. I think Yamaha is handling this well even though I'm not happy my bike has to have this done.

It says 'not complete working on more dates' for north central so hopefully MidO gets added.

anyone closer to cbus?

Nope they are replacing entire assembly. So all six gears are being replaced
