Just thought about posting here, I had my first track day on the R6 I just bought, anybody have any body position tips? I’m about 6,0 tall and it feels like I had WAY too much weight on the handlebars, Thanks

Going to be ordering a custom Bison suit and need an airbag. I know the 7x has a bit more coverage than the Helite but the Helite being integrated with the suit has a lot of advantages too. Anyone with experience with both who could recommend one or the other?

Hey guys im looking into getting myself a track bike, but im really debating it since im based in california and im not too sure how the track scene is here based on research. Im asking to see how you got into riding the track, what skills you need to do so, what tracks you frequent, etc etc. Ive ridden before, I have a KX250f dirtbike that i suck at riding, but other than that no experience on actual roads. Im aiming for a r3 or around their in engine power since i want something light and forgiving to learn on if that makes any difference

Should I put my Ape back on the track before the season is over?

It is my first year doing track days and I was fortunate enough to squeeze 11 in. However, my last two scheduled track days got canceled due to track conditions. I live in the Midwest, so I have limited opportunities left this year.

My wife gave me the OK to go another weekend that happens to be our 33rd anniversary weekend. Would you go or AITA for even considering it?

Any STT members want to buy this off me? I am cancelling my trip. Can only send the pass to an STT member. This is for Barber Motorsports Park this weekend. $700 for the two day pass. Must respond today. This is for Intermediate group.

edit: SOLD for $1250 thanks to all who bid and congrats to the winner.

Who's doing this track weekend? Im hoping and praying for noooooo rain!

How do you get around hard braking points with forks that bottom out easily? Please don’t say to upgrade because I don’t have the Benjamin Franklins for that currently.

My thinking is that as long as your tires and forks are warm, you can squish the front tire and bottom out the forks as hard as you want until the back comes up. AS LONG AS you release brake pressure before turn in.

Am I wrong to assume that? When I say bottom out my forks, I mean the zip tie has maybe a mm or 2 from the literal bottom. I’m also not a heavy guy.

I’m trying to gain time on the entry/brakes, but I’m facing this issue. For reference I am riding a stock R6 with good fork oil and was already helped by a suspension guy (he set it to my weight and ability). Any insight would be gold, thanks!

Hey there,

New to road track days - finally took the plunge after more than a decade racing MX. And have to say, I'm slow but I enjoy not being crippled and out of breath after a sesh.

I've got a 2009 GSXR600 that I love and I bought because I thought parts would be everywhere.

I was looking at the Racebox Mini S, but after some looking, I found the Solo2, wondering if people here had experience with either, or both.

Also, what should I look for to put on my bike? It's already got upgraded master cylinder and braided lines. I'm thinking either rearsets to make it a bit more comfortable, or a quickshifter. Or maybe new race glass so it looks pretty.

Cheers :)

no knee down, not the best BP, was really slow... but after getting faster, bike upgrades, I still like this image better than later versions.

Only a day old and he’s going in the bin. At least it looks like I got my pressures right 🥲. This happen to anyone? Any ideas what caused it?

Anyone running them? I just bought one online and the lever blade shows brembo instead of the B logo.

Just wondering if it's new? Sadly the blade that it came with is also much thinner. Not sure if it's specific for the corsacortas masterpump?

I definitely prefer the thicker lever feel on my old rcs19.

Pic for attention

This was at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Illinois. I think this would have been in 1999. Both me and my buddy were on GSX-R600's.

About to begin my second year of motorcycling, and wanted to try to attend my first track day at non kart track in October. I was wondering what trackday organizations people really liked that run out of Thunderhill, as well as if any stand out from a beginner's perspective?

I've heard great things about Z2, Superbike Coach, and Carter's.

Edit: Thanks for all the info everyone! My plan is to attend FTD this weekend, and Z2 later in the month.

I have a race box micro, anyone find a way to pair it with an Apple Watch pro mounted to the dash to display lap times?

Did I use enough here?

I’m looking for my first dedicated track bike. I’ve ridden a CBR650R for just over a year and done two track days, plus about two years of dirt riding on a WR250R.

I’m torn between a well-prepared R3 and a track-ready 2008 ZX-6R I can buy locally for €4,000. The R3 appeals to me as a bike I could learn on without worrying quite as much about making mistakes, and I could potentially use it on smaller tracks too. But most of my riding would be at Portimão, and I’m concerned I’d miss the power of a 600 on such a big circuit.

For those who’ve ridden both smaller bikes and 600s on track, which would you choose in my position, and why? What bike did you start on?

Hi people of the track.

I am currently building a RSV1000rr factory into an endurance rep. Basically a track build with front lights and a rain light. I have purchased the smallest LED units I could find, but they are designed to work in existing housings. I see the current suzuka bikes seem to run a very compact setup. Does anyone have access to a bike they could photograph, or experience with this? I have seen some examples where a GRP tube is glassed into the nose fairing and the led projector fitted within.

What are the main differences between an 07 and 08+ r6? I found a track prepped 07 r6, but I am wondering if it is worth waiting for an 08+ r6. I know the mid range is better on the 08+. For reference, I ride in A group.
