Track days junkies. Know any groups / event organizers that host track days regularly? Maybe one that is first-time-on-track friendly. The only I know is SBR.
Looking to pop my track day virginity. Haha |

QUOTE(maudermunty @ Mar 23 2016, 11:41 AM) https://rideapart.com/articles/how-to-lower-a-motorcycle This is where you need to set your suspension sag.found article about lowering down bike. It says better change suspension then lowering fork. and most bikes are build for people weighing ~80k g (which I understand as if 80kg guy get on, the spring will lower to the "right" height). So, how much does a person with weight around 65kg lower their bike to gain the appropriate bike height? If you go for aftermarket like Ohlins from authorised dealer, you need to provide them your weight including gears when ordering. They will send pre-setup shocks that nearly suits your bike & weight. |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Mar 23 2016, 08:59 AM) The engineers have thought of everything when they determined the bike's height. Better to keep the geometry of the bikes as it is.Like monaz mentioned, it is better to reduce seat height. P/s: Same goes for tyre size, but that's another story. P/s 2: I had a minor scratch on my tank too. I used cutex to cover the scratch I changed my rear tyre to 200 instead of 190 oem and without ecu calibration. Now the TC is always like gila2 activated even with slight lean. |
