Re: ready for my first track day at talledega!

congrats! take it easy as you'll have lots to learn on a first track day. the number 1 goal of every track day: leave with the bike looking like it did when you got there.



and so the addiction will begin....

Re: R6 header mod

changing something like a header for "more power", i suggest going to a reputable shop for a dyno to readjust your air to fuel ratio. having that mixture correct makes the biggest difference in getting the power that is available from the bike. changing the airbox intake on my 400 to a 600 intake (a...

Re: Fox Clicker vs R6

Sounds like a mixed review, some like the fox, some like the R6. Now do u have to get the right lbs spring on the R6 shock to match your weight ?, to me it sounds like a coin flip to which shock is really better. :headscratch: Money wise the R6 would be cheaper, but if i have to change spring to ma...

Re: Fox Clicker vs R6

i wasn't impressed by my r6's stock shock at all. i replaced it with a stock r6 shock that had been completely worked by race tech, and it performed better. really, it 100% depends on the condition of the older fox shock imo. but then again, i'm big on putting the correct shock on the bike it was me...

Re: Fox Clicker vs R6

you get what you pay for. if you want better performance, go with the twin clicker. fox shocks will out perform stock shocks. if you just want it to work, get the r6 stock shock. i've got an old twin clicker for my 400 and even though the rebound adjust is seized, it still makes an amazing improveme...

Re: advanced group!

i think almost everyone suffers from this syndrome to some degree I was a somewhat cocky after a couple track days, but when that guy on the SV650 passes you... man, you realize how little you really know. even in the advanced group with Team Pro-Motion, i 'tried out' to become a track coach, and t...

Re: advanced group!

i've seen an agusta mv 1000 on race fuel in the beginner group at tpm track days. i don't think guy was so arrogant as this tho. as for the video, i think almost everyone suffers from this syndrome to some degree, at least in the wash dc area. even buying a street bike, people think a 600 is too slo...

Re: Got in my first accident

Tell your insurance company "don't try too hard tracking her down" she should get really f-ed for leaving the scene. She could have been under the influence, uninsured, driving an un-road worthy car, a stolen car anything? Therefore should not be on the road, making it impossible for you to collide...

Re: Got in my first accident

Unfortunately as the law goes if you rear end anyone it's your fault. The lady that I hit drove away, but I think my insurance company is still going to try to contact her to try to pay for any damages to her car. The lady in front who stopped acted as if stopping at a yield sign is a normal thing ...

Selling my stock 1988 fzr 400 due to moving

Hey ladies and gents, I hate to do it, but I need to sell my baby as I am moving to Lake Tahoe in the next few weeks. A little about the 400: I bought it about 3 years ago with 25k miles on it and spent about 70 hours restoring it. Work done: rebuilt brake calipers, new fork oil, head to toe cleanin...
