... really does work well and is available at Canadian Tire for about $10/425g aerosol can. The mfg does not recommend using this product on aluminum but I used it on aluminum wheels with no ill effects (I did make sure to wash and rinse everything quite thoroughly). If you do use this product...

I doubt it was much of a battle as you were running a quicker pace all day, but I think I'm getting there. It was a productive 2nd day on the R1 and I'm pleased to have ridden my quickest lap at TMP thus far... going to drop the front end a couple more mm and get rid of the sketchy rear tire...

Just a friendly reminder that this weekend's race at Assen takes place Saturday morning (9am EST), not Sunday.

Yup. I have an aux "fuel tank" installed in my street bike right now... it's a small funnel. I simply, but carefully, cut the btm/end of the funnel (it's tapered) such that the fuel delivery hose fits very snug through it. I then zip tied the funnel to the frame to aid in stability. Edit...

I purchased a Pro Tek fork tube clamp from ProCycleDepot.com... no complaints here.

I highly recommend the Suspension for Mortals DVD but this should help clear up a couple things... http://www.ehow.com/how_4602262_setup-suspension-sportbike-motorcycle.html

Some questions/concerns for the OP: 1) The Racetech spring calculations that you've shown are based on the 06-08 year GSXR750. Are you sure the springs and rear linkage geometry are the same for your year bike? 2) Front Suspension - what are your readings for: a) Fork Stiction b) Free...

I too had to gut the cat on my 05 R1. I'm also wrapping the mid-pipe with exhaust wrap to reduce heat transfer to the shock...iIt was getting way too hot.

By no means am I an expert either but I don't agree with fully extending your outside arm, or any arm for that matter. Both arms should be bent at the elbows, allowing for complete and comfortable access to the controls, without disrupting the controls should you hit a bump, for example.

I've chopped a couple of slip-ons (Yoshimura RS-3 aluminum, D&D carbon fibre) with some great end results, but in both cases, the slip-on was damaged to begin with and required repair. I personally wouldn't chop a new aftermarket slip-on unless absolutely necessary. Just sayin'. Either way, good...

Your body position looks fine to me, considering the circumstances. What you're likely lacking the most is simply confidence (in the bike, in the tires, in yourself), which can be both difficult and dangerous to acquire on the street. Take it to the track! ;)

The "rapid fire clicking noise" you make mention of is typically indicative of a battery/power issue (ie. not enough juice). I would first check the battery terminals to make sure the connections are tight. Once tight, if the clicking noise persists, try bump starting the bike to get it started...

Thanks to Pirelli for making this information readily available. I still recommend speaking with Mark for further guidance though... in your case I'd probably ask him which cold pressure is recommended to start with and what type of pressure gains he'd like to see when coming off track. The...
