Hey all, first post.
Just picked up an 09 R1, i'm a twin guy and this is first I-4 I've bought in probably 15 years. I'm an ex racer wanna be and am a track instructor at present. After getting my hip replaced a few months ago, i've decided to treat myself ;-)
Anywho, i've been looking around on a couple R1 sites, and haven't been able to get much information, basically most sites are kinda put together kaotic and search is just a PITA....either that or i'm getting lazy. I have a few questions that hopefully someone can help with.
Suspension:
haven't had time, or able to get someone over here to help with Sag etc. So looking to see if anyone has a similar setup. (asking if I need to change springs, damping "seems" ok but i'm not pushing it hard at all)
6'4, 220 lbs without gear.
Airbox:
Anything other than the filter restricting flow?
Exhaust:
Yeah, those things gotta get replaced.
Chain/Sprockets:
Probably going to leave "as is" I do about 400+ miles a weekend on the track, and i'm not racing.
Tires:
On the fence if it's worth burning the OEM's off, or just put sticky black hoops on instead.
