I didnt see it mentioned above, but brake fluid should be one of your first upgrades. Something like Motul. After that, pads and stainless brake lines.

I think PP2 is way over priced. PP1 gives you 90% of PP2

600cc 4 strokes are some of the funnest bikes you can possibly be on (at the track). I did the Freddy Spencer Grand Prix school (Nicky Hayden was in our class too) and we used the Honda 600 and they were a lot of fun specially as the speeds kept on climbing. You can trash them and they just...

I dont know I have had a Aprilia 250, Aprilia Mille R, a few ducs and a bunch of GSXR's. On a road course, no bike will match even a modestly prepared car. Also, comparing bikes, a 250 will require a much better rider since that bike requires so much mid corner speed, whereas a 1000 will be...

What kind of racing are you talking about? Straight line? Yes Road course? Fuck no!

How is it not?? I gave you an example of a PRO rider on one of the fastest motorcycle platforms in the world comparing against a forum member driving a Mustang? On a track with a LOT of straights? Here is another comparison, this is superbikes from a couple of years ago. And, FWIW, I have...

I dont think so. It's biased towards the bike. Put an averarage or above average rider on a bike, then put similar skilled driver in a car and the margins come down immediately.

Just to put things in perspective here... Toni Elias (former MotoGp rider) did a 2:10 at COTA on a superbike. The best Mustang time is 2:24 (camaro 2:16) The bike should be MILES ahead in terms of lap time. But it's not. Put a 'regular' rider on the bike and the Mustang will be ahead...

It sorsnt matter how quick a bike can accelerate. They are traction limited. In 1986 the GSXR was 2.8 sec 0-60 Whatver the bikes gain on acceleration, they lose in the turns

It wouldnt be that expensive to do race pads, brake fluid and camber plates at the same time. At least then you could do more than one lap at a time

It all comes down to the type of racing... On a road course, your car could be faster than a bike.

This may have been asked already, but did you have a chance to weigh the engines before you pulled/installed them?

Located in California Im assuming?

Getting there!

Huh??? I was commenting on calipers and you quoted something to do with a master cylinder?? 🤔
