  5. Use a lap timer at Mid-Ohio?

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    twitch,

    mount your timer on the riders left. beacons are usually set on the pit wall. you can bring your beacon, but there is usually one there already. just make sure you dont put one 20 feet from another or else there will be some super quick lap times!!:banana:

    see you there......

  6. Need your Suspension set?

    in Events

    99% of posters on this board dont need to waste that $50 bucks to set their suspension because they would never outride the factory junk setting to worry about it.

    i would not hessitate to state that 99% of posters on this board, or any board, would never outride the factory suspension components, but EVERYONE should have their suspension set up properly for the sake of safety.

    evening went very well!

    it was run like an open track. to start each int and adv went out for 20 mins each to get acclimated with the track. then, it was open to all riders. they would bring eveyone in at the top of every hour to fetch any down riders and clear the track. then it was on again.

    it was very successful and a lot of fun!

    What does a fold up trailer like that in the background run now-a-days? Will it hold 2 bikes?

    its from Harbor Freight. i paid around $260 after buying the chock and treated plywood. it comes as a kit, must be assembled. its works great. i've seen people haul two bikes on it, but i cant imagine it being very steady and you would need to add outriggers in front for tiedowns, its not wide enough without.

    I won't be able to make it up this weekend, but please let me know how you like the twighlight session as I'm planning on going 7/7

    i did the one last year. it was very informal and ended up being an open track for 45 mins and closed for 15 mins for rest. it was extremely fun, but they'll probably run it like a regular led this time; 30 mins per session, int and adv.

    how do I get the bike on the rear stand by myself? I bought a LP one a couple weeks ago, but haven't had time to mess with it, but I was just wondering, if the bike is on the stand, how do I do it?

    thanks, lol, first bike and stand, etc

    just take your time and practice balancing the bike and maneuvering the stand into place. just dont let your bike fall over!!

  13. Bike question

    in Tech and Tips

    they're great bikes!! my opinion may be biased, though! :D

    really though, the engine has a very even power curve and pulls like a freight train from relatively low rpm. the chassis on the R is solid, like a gsxr. the suspension is always good for a little controversy, though. the forks are quite good and can be greatly improved with little cost/effort. but, the rear suspension is a rotary type and is located just below the rear cylinder exhaust spiggot and heats up a bit under hard riding causing fade issues (track/racing). an aftermarket coil over shock can be purchased from ohlins, penske or bitubo for a price. even with the suspension woes, you'll be hard pressed to outride what its got. its definately heavier than a modern SS. its rock solid as far as stability and you cant beat the exhaust note with aftermarket cans.

    i love mine, its my second and its not quite stock. keep in mind that for top end speed a good running new 600 will give you a run for your money and forget about any new 1000.

    all that said, get it if YOU like it. its a very capable bike and is nothing to sneeze at, track or otherwise. the aftermarket is still pretty strong but is slowly starting to thin down.

    hope my biased opinion helps! :cool:

    Can you get a hold of the Jason that set up your bike....CLUTCH is looking to get his race bike set up

    this was my only experience in dealing with him. i've made many changes to my bike this past winter so its difficult to say what changes had the most effect. however, his tuning gave me a good baseline.

    i've also used Ken from Superbike Italia. he did a great job on my stock suspension settings last year.

  18. Anyone know what this is?

    in Pics and Vids

    Yeah, It's a symbol of a company in Japan or China that supplies parts to GP and WSBK racersor sponsors some, I can't fully remember. It's on a few of their bikes. If you could go overseas to get next to their bikes in the pits you'll see some. I'll get back to you and let you know more. It's rare to find here in America...that logo on a bike that is. Here you just see the Deals Gap dragon logo, but not that one. :wtf:

    Damn! I was wrong. :tongue:

    you may be thinking of Komodo. they make racing gear. i think its a US company, though.....not sure.

    but, that is a Deals Gap sticker........
