Very sad... I purchased a steering damper from him in 2007 for my CBR600. He was a person who always wanted to help and you could trust him. RIP

After 2nd gear went on my CBR600 track bike, I installed the Factory Pro shift kit and it made all gear changes fell very solid and quick.

Below is a picture of a worn second gear from a YZF600R. Since the dogs are slightly rounded, there is a force on the second gear that tries to push it into neutral. This puts a lot of force on the second gear shift fork and can damage (small indent) in the shift drum. This is a great document...

Just to clarify.... The teeth of the gears are not the issue. It is the engagement "dogs" You won't find any metal in the oil, as this wear is happens over time is a "compression" of the metal and not "fragmenting"

Brand new and still the original box! This was purchased from reciprocity in March of 2007 to be installed on my CBR600 F2 track bike. Well, it never did get installed and was found during a basement clean up. $230 or best offer. PM if interested.

I am looking for a place to buy a 16" x 4" 48 spoke front rim, after my friend had a little accident. He has a buddy who can lace it up. Thanks, Frank

Looking to upgrade my F2 track bike front brakes. Wanted: CBR600 F3 front wheel, rotors, axle, lower forks. Let me know if you got'em..

I am in the process of painting my front fender with tremclad. However I am doing something wrong. I wait about 24 hours between coats, wet sand with 400 grit, and spraying a light coat. I always get this: Am I still spraying too much paint, not waiting long enough between coats, or something...

I am in the process of changing the oil in my Penske 8900E. This is an emulsion type shock, so the nitrogen and oil mix. Any idea what the proper oil level is? I carefully measuesed the old level, and it was 66mm. Assuming some oil was lost, I am thinking of about 67mm for the new oil level...

I love my trackdays on my CBR, but I will be skipping this year due to cost (both kids getting braces this year) and time constraints. In total, my 6 track days cost about $4,000 (gas, tires, hotel for Calabogie, and 6 days rental) Is anyone else skipping this year? If so, why?

How difficult is it to bring a track bike from the US into Canada? Does any tax need to be paid? I am thinking of picking up a CBR 600RR trackbike from the US as the prices are amazing!! -Frank

I am going to make a bracket to attach the steering damper to the frame (side mount) of my CBR F2 track bike. Does the damper need to be 90 from the fork angle? I guess this is ideal, but the rad and birdcage hit the damper when close to 90 degrees. How much angle is OK?

I am no expert in body positioning. I am working on it and buy track photos at every trackday to see what I am really doing.... And try again. It is funny how what you think you are doing is not close to what you are doing. At my last track day, I noticed the rider in front of me was not...

I want to duplicate this bracket, with with a smaller offset: Questions: (1) What material should it be made from? (2) Who could do it in GTA? BTW, this bracket will re-position the stock caliper to allow common 296mm rotors to bolt to the hub of my CBR F2 track bike. Thanks, Frank

Is there any benefit to media blasting/sanding the rotors after a few track days/race?

My track bike will need new pads soon. I have been running the EBC HH and they have been great at Shannonville and Calobogie. However at Mosport they tend to pulse. (uneven pad deposition?) I really don't think they warp as they are OK at the other tracks. I have read good things about DP...

I took apart my CBR600 F2 track bike forks. The spring is progressive (bottom coils are much loser together) and this suprised me. Am I running on OEM springs? There is no marking on them anywhere.

Where can I buy a 41mm fork clamp to mount a steering damper? Also, can someone post a pic of an CBR 600 F2/F3 with it installed. I am looking for ideas how to mount it. Bike is 91 CBR F2 track bike. Thanks, Frank

Wow, totally the wrong area... Mods please delete...
