i didnt mean that being short/light was a disadvantage, just makes me work a little harder than some other riders haha

All in all your doing great for your 2nd or 3rd track day. Keep feeding the beast and don't try to be faster. Just perfect everything your taught and you will get faster and faster till your out there taking down Marquez. You being a short light guy puts you right there with the best riders out the...

im a short guy and have short legs/hands, believe it or not thats about as far as i can get my knee/elbow out. as far as looking through the turn, i am, but im a little crosseyed so where my head is turned isnt necessarily where im looking.

suspension was set up by Dave Moss at the track, not it. are you saying im not hanging off the bike enough?

thanks, this is the first time i did a track day on my own bike. i did another one earlier on a 250 and an s1000 which is what got me hooked.

GTFO!

its not the grip, its having to push the bike down into the turn while on power, the bike wants to stand up, so i gotta keep it down. I'm confused, your in the turn, but the bike is trying to come up? Don't get me wrong my hands get tires to sometimes, but that's all my fault. How does tightening t...

only sunday, it was also my first day at Thill. my best lap was 2:15, this bike is a handful at the track, my hands were numb by the end of day! what were you riding? 2000 R6, all stock, BT016 tires. I very much dislike it as a streetbike, but it's a blast on track! I've done two weekends on it now...

i only got about 7k miles out of my first clutch, but theres a completely different reason for that (500+ 1/4 passes lol)

I'm all for clutchless shifting, and in theory if done right there is no wear on the transmission. However, I'm willing to bet MOST people can't do it right even if they think they are doing it right. Putting pressure on the shift lever then adjusting the throttle until the gear slips in, is indrod...

i NEVER use the clutch to upshift or downshift. the ONLY time its used is to get moving from a stop. when done right(and its not very hard to do it right) theres absolutely no risk of messing anything up.

everything built by yours truly.
so far im up to 3lbs of boost on stock injectors and its close to maxing them out.
i have a set of 850cc injectors i'll be dropping in soon.

ill be going on a test ride here in a bit, we'll see how it does on a 3rd gear roll on

0 interest in a turbo, if I were to force feed a machine it would be with a super charger.
