Some screen grabs from my gopro on Saturday. My buddy hit the inside turtle, went airborne and had a pretty scary tankslapper. Managed to keep it on the track, however.
Ryan said that the use of MR9 might have contributed to the plugs seizing because it's apparently corrosive. Yup, i usually check the plugs on periodic basis, but ive only owned this bike for one season.
I ended up taking the bike to ryan gill. The broken piece of the sparkplug didnt want to come out so Im going to have to pull the motor. Since it's opened up anyways Im going to get it refreshed with a valve job and possibly new rings depending on the condition. Oh well, I guess it needed...
I doused the spark plug with penetrating fluid and left it overnight before attempting to remove the plug and it still snapped :( I'm going to give the extractor a shot before pulling the head and/or motor.
I was changing the plug on my zx6rr track bike this morning and the first few threads and ground electrode of the plug snapped off in the head. Im going to pull the motor and was wondering:
1) helicoil vs timesert vs _____?
2) Is there any suggested maintenance or performance work I can do...
I remember you... I came with the two kawis on the white avalanche. Didnt know you were there on sunday as well otherwise i would have swung by to say hi.
It was a perfect track day. Great times and nice meeting all of you. If anyone has any pics of the blue / orange zx6rr (#2) with a red/black suit in intermediate group on sunday please let me know. :)

Of course after I was halfway home, the sun comes out and the roads were dry..... what a crappy day. On the bright side, nice chatting with some of you guys yesterday.
