Chrisoh Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 06s are more closely set-up to the 04/05s... 04/05s are more in between if you know what I mean... Again, I think this is a newer generation tire deal than it is geaometry changes...the 06s are a lot more distant to the 01s than the 05s are. You're correct about that. But, you don't want to set the 05 up like you would your 03... Of course, again, it is rider preference, but I went the way of the 02 I had and it was a bad move. Didn't work as well as the way the 05 should be set up. I have Jensen to thank for me getting it right. Well, Reuben too, but I got better feedback from Robert because he is on Michelins... Rub is definately one of the best I know, but the Pirelli (Before the newest race tire) had a less triangulated front tire. So, when i went to Pilot Races, the front is what was causing me issue.I kept putting the ass end up higher to get it to turn better and all the while, I was having traction issues... Ask Drew - the rear was always moving around under load. He always knew because he would come in and tell me he could always see me shaking my head.Only 04-05 I got to ride was Flouders rotor shaking 750. I am going to run Talladega Feb 2-3 (Wizards team school, and Ed Bargy trackday, so Sixx and Dave will be there) and see if I can make any head way with the Bridgestones (Pirellis were on it but not sure if it was setup for them either. I would like to get a fraction more speed on turn in and transitions, but i don't want to get to much change in the rear as that felt really good at Putnam and Mid Oh. But i got some things to change and get used to as I am using Rubens Swing arm Offsets now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Uh, no rear shock yet, homo... Yeah, no shit smartassWe'll bleed your brakes later - you'll probably not do it right.

Chrisoh Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah, no shit smartassYoure such an ass goblin..Still need to do tires and maybe...cough cough .... OPP..OPP...OPP Yeah you know meMaybe an R1 throttle tube as well.All I got left is to do oil and I can't decide if I want to do the coolant now or when i get to tally. they are requiring Water so Have to drain. Shit.After i may look at doing the zip tie mod to the throttle since on the 05-06 the R1 tube doesn't make much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
