Suspension!!!!, tires, gearing, brakes, rearsets.

All the power doesn't mean any thing if the suspension isn't right.

 

Wheels, tires, suspension, exhaust, filter All at the same time :fact

 

So the next top three mods need to be tires, suspension, and gears.

What tires do you like and why?
What suspension mods and why?
What gears, and what set up and why?

 

Ouch that hurts, Yes I’m just bought my R1 3 weeks ago and I have been riding every day. I have been riding HareScramble in AA for 5 years and I’m not bad on a Yamaha YZ250. I know street is different.

But when it comes to cars I’ll put my car against yours any day of the week and my driving skills. I run 10.42 in the ¼ mile with 295 Nitto 555R street tires in the back. I’m on the corvette forum under the name extremecorvette

I have no friends in town that ride and I’m just hooked on it. I just need some help from more experience rides to point me in the right direction. I’m always willing to learn on my own but it never hurts to ask.

SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! SUSPENSION !! ... then the other stuff.. Suspension will make (almost) everything on your bike work better

 

So buy

1. Dunlop Race Tires 120 and I think my bike is 190 rear
2. ohlins/penske rear shock for adjustability
3. ohlins forks/revalved stockers for adjustability/ride
4. Dynojet Quickshifter
5. USED Graves Rearset
6. Sprockets + Chain (-1/+2)
7. Dynojet PCIII

 

Buy whatever you like, it's your bike. That's what I have on my bike, cause that's what I like. Everyone likes something different. Buy what YOU want

 

Just trying to get my top 5 list of mods I should do in order.

 

Also depends on what type of riding you do......

 

pipe, pc3, bmc filter, -1 on front sprocket, dry nitrous kit.

 

Sliders and good leathers were my first mods.

 

my first mod was gas... just seemed like it wasnt going anywhere before
a little gas and BAM that bike was MOVIN!

 

My next mod list:

1. Dunlop Race Tires 120 front &190 rear
2. ohlins/penske rear shock for adjustability
3. ohlins forks/revalved stockers for adjustability/ride
4. Dynojet Quickshifter
5. USED Graves Rearset
6. Sprockets + Chain (-1)
7. Dynojet PCIII

 

....race tires? FOr the road?

I can understand like SuperCorsa's...but not flat out race tires. YOu'll use them for maybe three hundred miles before they are shot.

 

number 7 is needed before 4 is usable just a heads up

 

They aren't new, I buy track takeoff's. Hell of a lot cheaper and still just as sticky

 

1. Dunlop 209 120 front &190 rear
2. ohlins/penske rear shock for adjustability
3. ohlins forks/revalved stockers for adjustability/ride
4. Dynojet PCIII
5. USED Graves Rearset
6. Sprockets + Chain (-1)
7. Dynojet Quickshifter

 

Day two and I have started to get some of the parts bought.

1. Dunlop Race 209 120 front 190 rear or Michelin Pilot Power 2CT 190/55 ?
2. Penske 8987 Purchased $650
3. Revalved stockers for adjustability/ride
4. Dynojet PCIII
5. Woodcraft Rearset Purchased $200
6. Sprockets + Chain (16/45 or 16/47)
7. Dynojet Quickshifter Purchased $130

 

Hmmmmz where to start...

The first mod should be Frame Sliders, Then SS Brakelines which nobody even said anything about or I missed it. Then comes a DB windscreen IF you like them and to help with the wind protection especially if you plan any long distance riding or high speed runs.

Unless you plan on trackdays which I might of missed that also you can save ALOT of money by not buying alot of the things posted...LOL

I would just setup and play with the stock suspension until you get better and do alot of trackdays THEN I would buy a new suspenion, but until then save your money.

Performance? Depends on how much power you really want? I personally just do the slipons,filter,velocity stacks and PCIII WITH dyno tune, not a canned program. I hate people who spend the money but skimp on the tuning..

Tires? Burn the stock ones and then try out some different ones until you find the kind ya like best. I personally hate Dunlop and like Metzler, Pirelli or even Bridgestone.

Rearsets? Why? unless you are doing trackdays you don't need them.
Quickshifter? Why? unless you are doing 1/4 mile passes you don't need it.

I think that's all for now

Be careful with the 209's on the street...especially if you are a new rider.

 

I haven't had the 209's on the street yet but I was told that they don't like the rain at all. What have you seen that makes you not like them on the street?
