    Any Daytona 675R owners?

    I had a 2010 ST3 for my road bike and a 2010 Daytona dedicated track bike. The ST3 is more than capable of anything you want to try on the street and is the correct bike for urban riding IMHO. The Daytona is an awesome track bike and even somewhat forgiving in terms of gear selection as you...

    Lithium Ion Battery

    The Earth X site mentions in the snowmobile section that it helps to warm the internal battery components by running current through to achieve a higher cold cranking amp. They say to crank for 10 seconds wait and do again and it will raise the internal battery temp. I guess having your lights...

    chain adjustment / straight wheels

    A little tip: When you think you have everything adjusted and lined up, roll an old screwdriver or wadded up rag between the chain and the rear sprocket to tension the chain. It will pull your axel blocks snug and when you tighten the axle nut they will remain aligned.

    Having difficulty changing gears?

    Try preloading the shifter before you need to change gears. Often you will find it soft / moves a bit more than when preloaded. Simply lift up on it before you intend to shift, keep slight pressure and once you roll off the throttle it will want to go by itself - with our without the clutch...

    Thinking of a buying a lift, opinions wanted...

    I have one from Direct Lift. Pneumatic (air) cylinder lift, comes with side extensions and dolly to move around if required. It's about 6 inches off the ground when lowered, very stable when lifted - no issues at all. Decent front vise will hold up bikes without straps. With extensions you...

    Any members here that have sleds too?

    OP, I get your wanting to test the waters, but I'll go with Sonny on this one. These days you do have to make an effort to get to good snow, but it is out there and finding mid week groomed trails is as good as a day at the track. Skidoo ETEC's have been out since 08 /09 in the XP chassis. If...

    Axis vs. Allies

    Well when the victor tells the loser they can't build war machines such as aircraft, you retool and build cars and bikes.

    Sub 1:20 TMP dudes feeling bored?

    Just throwing this out there regarding your tire pressures. Have you checked your gauges accuracy? Last Pro6 event I was at, one of the guys grabbed 4 gauges from our pit area and everyone was out compared to the Pro6 master test gauge. The motion pro digital reads 2lbs low, some were 2lbs...

    Trailer restraints

    I have not tried them, but do use the Pit Bull which is similar and maybe even easier to use and remove. You can get them through Blue Streak Racing 519-475-9055, their website seems to be down right now. Pit Bull: http://www.pit-bull.com/trailer-restraint.shtml

    Bent/warped rotor signs?

    Guessing you may have knocked the wheel out of alignment a bit. This can cause the fork to twist in or out and increase friction quite a bit. Suggest you loosed off the front axle pinch bolts. Push down on the front to move the forks up and down, without hitting the brakes. This should align...
