Shopping list for 2013 track season

Quick turn trottle inserts!?

Ah, the same as these;

Got my new clipons today. These bars are soo long, lol...do you guys usually cut to shorten them, or you let them stick out towards the inside even if it's a lot, like a good 4-5 inches?
 
Well, it cost me over $1000 to have the engines checked and prepped for 2013. Other than that..... oh yeah, tires and fuel. You don't wanna know.
 
It cost me more than it would have cost me to take my wife and kids to the Caribbean for a couple of weeks in the mids of winter.

I took the wife. Sunshine = bribery. LOL

Out with the forks!

OMG where'd they go??
IMG_4975.jpg


Yep, they is missing :(

Found them!

Ewwwww, look what drained out of them!!! Original 2007 fluid :( And can you believe, 25MM too much fluid in each fork!!! No wonder I was getting chatter under heavy braking!!!

Ohhhh pretty! Ktech adjusters, re-valved, new springs, motul full synth fork oil, polished fork tubes, all balls new seals, all balls new scrapers, removed hydraulic bump stop for more overall travel. Mostly for my future reference: Hard bottom out = bottom of o-ring touching top of red line. Soft bottom out = bottom of o-ring 17mm above fork mount base (exactly in the location pictured below). K-tech compression set to 16 clicks, set less (clockwise/screw in) if reaching soft bottom out. For street use set to around 22 clicks. Clicks are counted from full clockwise/screwed in, count clicks counter clockwise/screwing out.

Now onto the rear, it's missing too!

Found it, ewww ugly sprocket...
IMG_4979.jpg


That's starting to look better. Driven 16t (-1) front sprocket:

Rear put back together. Drive Systems USA ultralight steel sprocket (47t/+2) and EK MVXZ 520 chain (two-tone gold/black):

Upon re-installation of the forks John found that the head of the front axle was out of round, oval shaped, due to previous over tightening of the pinch bolts. He put it in his lathe and re-rounded the head and polished the entire axle. Now it's not pinching the forks together when you install the axle like it was before!!! No tools required, just slips right into place!!!

Can't wait to test it out!!! Forks are SOOOO smooth, just like silk, I've peen pushing on them lots, can't wait to ride with em

It will make a huge difference, especially at a track with #%^& surface quality like TMP and Shannonville.

Sweet, that's great to hear :D

I'm curious, what did Amsoil, Ktech, and All Balls do for you?
Amsoil provided 4L of MCF 10w40 full synthetic oil and a EA15K13 (long/large) "car" oil filter (fits on the 07 R1, just barely). They are publishing a TSB shortly informing that EA15K13 (long/large) and EA15K12 (short/small) oil filters will be certified for motorcycle use as well.
Ktech provided the compression adjusters.
All balls racing provided new fork seals and scrapers :)

I forgot to thank Motul for the 2L of 5w full synth fork oil as well :D

Well then in that case, I'd like to thank the Royal Bank, Suzuki, Chevrolet, Sobeys, and most of all Shell for accepting my hard earned dollars. I think I'll put stickers on my bike too so everyone knows exactly where I spent my money.
