My 2015 R1 has an aluminum fuel tank.

This thread hurt to read. BTW jump starting or "boosting" a bike from a running car will not damage anything...

Oops

I think that as your brake pads wear down they transfer more heat to the caliper and ultimately the fluid. That's something to consider if you are experiencing brake fade and fluid boiling. Pads with half the material left might be ok for street use but not racing.

I'm not sure cause this thread is almost 10 pages but has anyone thought about three new groups...No green ever. "Yellow" where you can pass everywhere but is for new riders and street Rossi types "Dark yellow" where you can pass everywhere for people who should be in Red but was since red is...

I'm going to call it like I saw it... I've been going to Mosport for over ten years straight and in regards to the BMW Motorrad days I pretty much have mixed feelings in what they were doing. I liked the price at 55$ free camping and goodies at the door. However money spent at the event by...

Livewire just to trying to answer your first question as to why the crash happened - it appears you found the limit of grip at the rear tire for sure. The cause of that would be guesses but it appears to me to be a few things. First the lean angle was too much for the amount of throttle. That's...

Is it possible to follow the crown home and then like marry his ugly daughter or is that not PC these days either?

OK thanks for the reply. I'll tell him he's gotta put the lights back on and optional on the signals

Strictly for daytime riding - Bike is safetied already years ago. It was converted to a track bike and now the owner wants to ride it on the street. What lights are required at a minimum: Headlights? Signals? Brake Light? I was going to guess that if you use hand signals and ride in the...

Don't track ride unless you personally are at 100%. Not hungover or sick or tired. Buy the best tires, gear and supplies you can afford and in that order. The cheap trackday outing doesn't exist.

You guys scared me into calling TD just now. My rates only went from 1575 to 1599 for a 2015 R1 full coverage and a 1981 GN400 PL/PD. I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I am in Northern Ontario though so maybe that helped??

wish I was there!! Have fun down there at Jennings!!

If electric cars are so great and economical like everyone on here is saying why then: a) are we needing incentives? b) why isn't everyone lining up for these electric cars????

Thanks for that pic. Definitely looks stronger. PM me your dealership name ;)

I own a 2015 Yamaha R1 and I love it. Been the greatest summer on it with no issues and 7000km with 1 track day. Ironically I bought it because I broke the gearbox in my Ducati 999 last fall. I don't think I'm going to take the bike to a dealer to F with since its pretty much running perfect...

I've never been to a RACE/trackday and a buddy and I are thinking of going. Are they real busy? We would prob ride in the yellow intermediate group.

Breh if you like your license then Forks of the Credit is not for you...what a heat score!!!

I just bought a new R1 and I'll be following the manual and doing a hard breakin at the same time. The manual states not to use prolonged high RPM operation and not to over heat it. So you can blast up to the red line a few times and vary your RPMs and all that stuff buddy recommends - just...
