Here is what my lower factory fairing now looks like after Putnam Park last weekend....:cry: And lastly my toasted rear tire....:rawk:
Actually it was dragging in some of the right hand corners. But yes, if that was from a pass I'd probably be a little more pissed off!
Think I saw you that weekend. I was getting my bike worked on by Ducati Indy when you stopped by to talk with Tommy. Bike looked awesome.:thumb:
you must have been Marquez'ing that chit to do that, or had ALOT of lean, i could see that happening at Blackhawk, but putnam is rather flat.
I tend to lean into the corner pretty hard most places. I go through knee pucks and toe sliders quite often also. Running the MICHELIN POWER SLICKS makes it seem easy. :thumb:
thats wat happens when u lean the bike over too far. now u know why im always slow, just trying to keep the bodywork in really good shape. has nothing to do with my lack of skill.
I just installed the new TTX-GP Ohlins with the correct spring for my 230lbs. Also my preload and compression are on the stiff side already. All I can do at this point is raise the rear some and see what happens.
Yup, ride height (both front and rear) adjustment is in order! I was dragging the low exhaust on my 675 until I jacked it up in the air by 10mm or so... The forks went from 10mm showing to flush. It got rid of the dragging problem, until I upgraded tires, and then it came back! -T
yea it sure does, i call it the tire graveyard.. if i want to cash a tire i take it there LOL. I've got it to where i get great wear as far as tearing etc.. but it still eats the tires..
looks like you were getting out there and having fun with your motorcycle!!! :wheel: too bad you were doing it wrong
Didn't time a single lap. I wanted to learn the track and that's all I did. If I had to guess, probably did my last few sessions in the high teens based on who I would follow and what I know they were turning. I didn't exactly set the world on fire because I was breaking in a new bike and all my new gear like leathers, boots and gloves. Next time I go there I will be timed! :thumb:
