yep we should all be there, also @ShortyMoto too if we can lure him away from his lucky charms. Will see how many more mini guys are going... should be a good group of us.
-
@jacobhawkins maybe this will fix your torch converter?
-
grom is fast now that the issues are sorted out. only going to get faster when head gets re-ported and i put on a larger throttle body.

2020 bmw s1000rr?
-
Kenda Kwick KD1's are a solid tire and only cost $75 or so for the set - for future tire purchases. It's what we race on. Some of the castings with the Grom wheels is wonky, people seem to prefer the gen1 wheels since they were made by Enkei. Enjoy the little bike, maybe take it to a kart track sometime

The dragon is top 5 when it's not crowded and once you understand the rhythm. I haven't ridden 555 to really give an informed opinion - the sections I've ridden here and there have been pretty awful though between debris, road condition and blind driveways.

Jamie just stole a sale out from under me with his god damn fire hazard, now I get to share the pain. I got fall plans and they involve 180 wheel horsepower.

updated to bargain bin price, need to sell.

My grom does this from time to time, it gets worse the hotter the oil gets. When it starts acting up I have to roll the bike back and forth a bit to get it to slip into a new gear when I'm stopped and I really have to mash to get it to shift while moving. It has only happened a few times though.

Clearly don't watch many motogp videos.

Politics, Motorcycles, Helmets, what's next - Ear Plugs?

Helmet laws, giving those without a brain a reason to protect it. -
Parts of the deck had been rounded off leading into the bowl which was causing a few different possible issues, one of which was hot spots.
-
They are fairly new, a couple of CRs from Mid-O started it up this past winter. They are working hard at establishing themselves and have been great to work with on a number of projects so far. Jake is a legit tuner, which is nice to have in the Columbus area.
-
Hoblick is also a good choice, he rebuilt the forks on my old 750ss and they came out great.
-
28 is fine but Ryan is so busy it's been hard to get stuff to him. I'm not going to get into which shop is better or why but I can almost guarantee you'll have your forks back sooner from The Dyno Shop.

It's physically impossible to hold a Starbucks triple dirty double latte if you're riding a Kawasaki. The Starbucks green and the Kawi green clash - but if you're on a Ducati, it's like Christmas every time you hold that burned brown liquid in your hand (which could be said any time you touch the case of a Ducati engine as well, burned brown liquid everywhere).
-
Yeah you'd have to be a silly goose to go ham first session on fresh tires.
-
Rear wheel locked from downshifting it seems, as said above. Was good meeting you, bummer about the trip to the farm at the end of the day. Your bike looked fine for the most part so I was hoping you got through unscathed as well but it sounds like that wasn't the case. I hope the surgery gets things sorted out and it heals up fast!
-
Mine were fine after like 2 laps of scrub. Every session after that I was digging my knee in after turn 7 on the first lap (not running warmers). They heat up FAST.
-
Cool, I'll probably grab some SC3's for my next set of tires then.
-
If I can get comparable grip to the Q4s out of an SC3 rear I'd be happy. I don't plan to race big bikes so pushing the very limits of grip isn't really something I'd like to toy with - I have enough fun doing that and trying not to eat shit on the little bikes. 😊
-
Yeah, talking to Jake yesterday had me considering the 3s. I think Mark was after him to give them a shot and he seems to like them pretty well.
-
The 3 is supposed to be just as sticky as the 2 but with better wear. I imagine the 3 requires a bit higher track/air temps though since it's a slightly harder compound.
