I honestly don't think I'm pushing the bike hard enough to tell how the tires are doing. I've carried alot more corner speed on the pilot road 5 but been scared to carry the same speed since the lowside. But the q4s haven't slipped or anything yet. So far so good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good I was in the same position earlier this year after a lowside at the track on the BT023s. Did a few track days since on the BT023s, and they have held up, but I am quite a bit more cautious and focus on smoothness rather than speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been on an R6, so riding an upright bike will be different. But I'm sure it'll still be massive amounts of fun!

Wintersdark Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Installed a new chain last night. Realized that while I'd always meant to remove the sprocket cover and clean out in there but never did. Under that sprocket cover was a golf ball sized lump of grease, rocks, a bolt, and broken chain o-rings. I strongly suspect this pile of crap is why I lost so many chain o-rings - that chain only had 20k on it and was always kept at the proper tension, clean and well lubed, but they kept breaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fzar Posted September 25, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted September 25, 2019 I installed this Ohlins STX46 shock and took a quick spin, huge difference and I haven't even got it dialed in, 7 clicks out on rebound, 8 mm pre-load, pretty much how it came out of the box from @cornerslider big Thanks to him and Brandon over at Trackside Labs. The difference even without checking SAG#'s (incumbent rain was heading my way, and I didn't have much time) is outrageous. I was taking it easy'ish and I felt like I was going at a snails pace, the bike was laughing at me... No S..t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1tondriver Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Installed my Graves exhaust and Yamaha sub cowl. The Cowl was no easy task with this exhaust but it is on.

ShiftHer Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Finally got the ASV levers on. Plastidipped the mesh vents red. IMG-20191002-212844794 Image IMG-20191002-212844794 hosted in imgbb.com And added a red stripe on the tank. I think I will extend this to the tail if it holds up to wear and tear. IMG-20191002-212854371 Image IMG-20191002-212854371 hosted in imgbb.com Also mounted a USB charger to the handlebar (on clutch side in above pic) and spent about 72 minutes looking for a ridiculously tiny nut for the bar mount bracket that I dropped inside the bike. Finally found it. 1 Find me at ShiftHer.com & My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait, ECU should be back on Saturday. I see you are in GR, did you go down to Hord for a tune? Just curious and I am going to get over to that side of the state next year for some riding and probably a track day at Grattan or Gingerman.

No, he sent me PCV file since I already have the auto tuner... Grattan is a fun track, only a quick 20min drive from my house- every corner is off-camber ... Gingerman- never been there but I do know they got couple long strips for top speed... I usually take advantage of Fox Powersports outta GR for the $100 track days with food, coaches, etc... 1 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I will have another truck so I can throw it in the back. Thanks for the heads up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
