first: if so, then if i tell you how much i paid for the body and the stay you would probably kill me. :D
second: im guessing you are talking about the rear brake, if so that fluid has only 6300 miles, so ill replace it later on.

Race or do a track day?
There is a monumental difference...

I'm going to assume a track day based on the tyre choice.


ummmm track days till the end of the year and maybe a race or two. but im starting next season to race.

also the sportmax 209GP is what everyone uses on the track to race :fact
so i dont know what you mean with that statement, is it actually the most used by all racers in the track or atleast down here. lars, danny, 4 of my friends and many more racers use this tire. :fact

Looks great so far!!!!


I agree, most of the guys run the 209's that I see. Hell at the superbike races @ road Atlanta, that's all you see :fact


hey i know you are running the 209's on the street like i do, can you tell me what tire pressure do you run, because i had a lil bad experience last time we were going hot through some turns and i think is related to tire pressure, the bike was wiggling through the turn as it was gripping and losing grip.

thanks. is that like a 50/50 mix with water or just straight engine ice and what happens if it gets mix with some coolant (very but very small amount maybe something left over in the engine) would that be bad.

Bike looks pimp man...Miss my R1 :(

I will be at Barber next month for the ASRA stuff...Should be a good time, have not been there since my 1st time in 2005...

Wadded up the "A" bike real good at Road America last week...Crashed out of 4th place...That was race 8. Race 10, I went out on the bone stock "B" bike with wrong gearing (hitting the rev limiter before i crested the hill in 6th) and still managed a 13th...So a lot can be done on a bone stock Yamaha. And that was starting from the 5th row, in a Grid 14 Rows Deep...

Lars, going to be at Barber next month? I was at Daytona this year...Were you there racing?
