SJC1000rr

Decided that I'm not going to force things into this on short notice and signed up for BG on the 10th and 11th. The leezard better not let us down!

Hummm, that sounds tempting! And a new track to boot. You and the old Mid-O crew instructors going to be there on Oct 10 or 11th?

And I would have the rear on if I decided to go to BG in October! But wondering how cold that could be also!

If I sign up yeah. Still looking at finances and stuff and seeing if anyone else from here might be interested in going.

Wasn't able to get off for the 19/20, but was anyone thinking of going these dates? I was possibly looking into either of them if I can get my rear changed out and brain switched to the Gp shift from standard.

I also had my pair of GP Plus break a seam on my right ring finger at the tip. Unfortunately, I noticed this right before a trackday and did the repairs myself. Its coming off again and the inside material of several fingers has worn through and is becoming annoying to ride with. I might be looking into something else next year if this keeps up. As for the A* SMX-R Boots...they held up great other then where I wore through the rubber edge/bottom of the boot with the track surface Time for some metal outside protectors I guess. And those boots were pretty dirty nate! But now you can repeat the process next year!

I ended up getting a Pitbull Fork and spooled rear stand and love them. Very sturdy and easy to use.

So as a side question. The manual for mine recommends 10w-40, but I have been using 10w-50. Any issues with this that I should be concerned with or change for the future? I wasn't sure on changing the weight vs viscosity number. Normal street riding with 5 or more track days a year. (Side note) its Repsol 4T Racing 10W-50 and I am changing every 3k miles.

Not too graphic, but definitely gets the point across.

If its any help, the youtube video of Novice is of my group @Mid Ohio!

Exactly which pads are you getting and where from for the Ferodo's? I only found them at for like $160 shipped for both calipers. But that was for the XRAC's. The ST's were around $100.

Since I am working on the same project with getting new rotors in, I have been debating on changing out from my CL SBK5's to something else. Was kicking between Vesrash RJS's and Ferodo ST or XRAC's. It then its $100 vs $160..... so the choice seems to be coming easier!

Nod, and I just got new parts in to make my life easier!

Finally broke down today and ordered some stuff. Ended up buying a set of Brembo HP rotors and Gilles AS31GT Rearset in Black. Got the rearsets on discount from hardracing as I had ordered Sato's and they were out of stock and switched them for me. Other then that, I'm going to take a look at the pads again and maybe switch to Vesrah's for the future. And then look at the RCS MC when $$ comes available.

That was my bike prolly. I had it mounted off the tank facing forward at first then rear facing for the latter half of the day. I still never did get with the instructor in the #11 jersey that told enenen I needed to move up. =/

Yup! Track will prolly be damp on the start of the day and we could get some rain during the day. Just be safe and keep it rubberside up! Worse case...pull a Whodey and take to the pits!

Come on in. I have no one else so far so its going to waste. PM me your cell # so I can call you up there and let you know where to go and can try to answer and questions you have.

Yeah. I agree with all that. Definitely have some slow and some fast people in it. And the passing can be unnevering at times with how some people ride. Maybe next year I'll think about it. We have to get through the weather on Tuesday first!

After it happened, the lever seemed to come back farther then it use too and had very little initial bite then seemed to grab hard. When it did that, the whole front end of the bike would start to shake up and down. I let it cool down during lunch that day and went back out for 4 more sessions and didn't really have any issues, but did notice it when I was hard braking and the end of the back stretch. Its just more of a feeling of less confidence in them now then I had before. I have Speigler SS lines front and back and I had just put on Carbone Lorraine SBK5 front pads. I had schmuck install all those and no we didn't scrub the pads before putting them on. Or the rotors. The stock rotors right now are blackened and somewhat spotted. We bleed the lines through with a full bottle of new fluid, but I will run some more through just to make sure theres no bubbles that were tucked away and became free. As for the MC, I was looking at the Brembo RCS but I wasn't sure if it would work with my Speigler lines or not. Anyone heard about new MC's not working with SS lines?

I went out the other day and its not really chattering now. I think it just got too hot that session. I went the rest of that trackday without any problems, but want to get something better on it for next year.

Na, going to stay in I group for a while and work on my body positioning and better lines.

Still looking at these and really can't decide on what to get. I am down to look at these: Galfer Front Wave Braketech AXIS Stainless Brembo HP Front Floating Thoughts or suggestions? I will probably keep doing about 3-5 track days a year and standard street riding.
