Moto-Brian Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 there is a campground just from the track, but Putnam does not allow camping thanks to the Jackhole Neighbors.It's more due to the insurance than the neighbors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisoh Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 It's more due to the insurance than the neighbors...Who knows. I was told that the folks in the area petitioned so everyone had to be off by 6 to make sure they track didn't have any big rallys or something.Jerm I should know in a coupe weeks if I am going. If so you can hitch a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2insanezx10r Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Rock in Roll Brother. We'll do this together. I'm a rookie. I'm wanting my wife to go so she can film this. She won't go though. There's a few things I need to do to my bike. Do you have frame sliders on your bike yet? We need to get our bikes ready for the track.

There's a few things I need to do to my bike. Do you have frame sliders on your bike yet? We need to get our bikes ready for the track.I'm a rookie too, first time. I've been debating whether or not I want to put any frame sliders on. I really don't want to cut holes in my plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2insanezx10r Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm suprised they don't make a no cut slider for that 08 bike of the year. Don't be smokin me off the track on that beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 seriouslly you have to CUT the plastic to put sliders on. what about a cage like from sick innovations. probably not race legal.http://www.sickinnovations.com/crash_cages.htmthey have sliders too.

2insanezx10r Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Shit I had to laugh. Shit cuz you can ride I don't see that happening. I need to find out what to change my sprocket to Hoe many teeth?? And a new chain. One of the mods I'm gonna do my bike is way too slow in lower gears. Hopefully someone will read this and help out. I also have to get new tires my back is starting to split in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 No idea I'm not a gear head. One of those things I'm still learning. Right now I'm only planning on doing whatever standard prep is necessary for novice at Putnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1_MP Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I need to find out what to change my sprocket to Hoe many teeth?? If you change the size of your sprocket you get more torque and loose top-end. You also have to adjust you spedo. IMO, unless you are going to stunt I would leave your sprocket the same size just go with an aftermarket one like Vortex. I've never had any problems out of them. Moose Racing has some good chains. I don't know about the "Kawasuckies":lol:(JK), but I used a 520 chain on me GSXR750 and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 2 insane you should do -1 and +2 in the rear. That is the most common gearing and it gives your bike the extra punch off the line. If you do that make sure you buy metal sprockets because the aluminum ones wear out real fast on the street.

Chrisoh Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 If it is your first time changing sprockets i would stick with -1 +1 on a 1000cc.It makes a big difference and you don't want to catch yourself out too much. And if you are streeting it going up equivalent of +4 in the rear will increase your RPM at Highways speed for a more buzzy ride.I have -1 +1 on my race 1000 and so far feels good, though some tracks I know +2 rear is doable.
