If most National and AMA riders dont overheat the DOT spec tires they run on i think i'll probably be good for next SOAR round :) Everything i've read suggests they're basically the same as the slicks they just have tread, which makes them DOT legal. DOT has nothing to do with tire compound or...
@ caboose - neat. Do DOT's hold onto heat anymore then a full slick? I get very little feedback out of race tires because I'm not fast enough to make them work properly
Never? At track days where its 25+ and sunny i'll generally run the warmers before the first session and not bother for the rest of the day. Takes me about 1 lap to get up to a temperature that i feel comfortable pushing, and i'm not fast enough to notice any difference. I might just have to buy...
I'm hoping to be on your *** next round :) we had pretty similar lap times in round 3, and I'm not any faster on the kaw then I was the sv. I so can't wait lol
I don't know if I would call the other guy an idiot. If it were the second lap It'd be different, but generally right off the start through corner 1 its good to hold your line, not drift down the track.
So on saturday I get a text from my buddy in edmonton, setting some good laps on his motard but had got taken out in the first race. Sunday get the picture that is the image for the video and laughed pretty hard, thinking an appropriate caption is something like "ummm I do believe I was here...
Awesome post omni! Yeah I can't say enough good things about donald, from the things he's spotted on my bike at tech, to his suspension setup skills he always seems to know exactly what to do to make it better. He actually spent a ton of time with me at the last gwb track day getting the bike...
How about we split the difference? Lol it was mentioned in the first post, hence the tc part, but I missed the FI part and thought they were just putting tc on the bike.
And lol inferno, how do you get away with responding to only half of what is in quotes :p traction control in the most...
Isn't the real question that if the op is still learning how to ride why are they buying a bazzaz and putting tc on the bike?
If you don't understand where the limits of traction are traction control will just be mega confusing. TC makes you slow, the fast guys use it as an aid when playing...
How can you be so sure when you're still alive? I dont think it's darwin that actually comes for you either.
IOM happens in June. Way to be current. This isn't much better. (start at 10:00)
