To insulate your roof you could try :- https://www.screwfix.com/p/ybs-superquilt-multi-layer-reflective-foil-insulation-10-x-1-5m/68120 it has similar U-Values to 75mm of PIR insulation board ie Kingspan etc, extensions only require 150mm so you be nearly achieving half of that. Just be aware...

I thought I would post a quick review on the above mentioned tyre especially as they are so new and little information on them, firstly it?s not on an S1000RR but a 19 plate Superduke GT. On spirited road riding the tyres haven?t missed a beat, that is knee down lean angle and hard acceleration...

I done this last year, I had no track experience, however I am confident on a bike and feel I am a reasonably quick road rider. There was no 1-2-1 spaces left so it was 2-1 fortunately I went with a friend so we paired up and our speed was comparable. The fastest rider goes at the back but you...

Re: Metzeler I queried that pressure in a second email as I thought it must be a typo however there response was :- Thank you for your reply.I can confirm that the Track days pressures are set on the Metzeler Racetec RR K3 are what we set them on track when cold. This is due to the compound...

Seems to be the case as the pressures they emailed me are miles out compared to your chart and what pressures you and others seem to run on track! I think like people have advised it will be ask the tyre guy on the day for me.

This was the email I received from Metzeler :- Thank you for your recent email. We would recommend the following Track day pressures in Cold; Front-32 Psi Rear-38 Psi Kind Regards Mannie Contact Centre Pirelli Metzeler Moto UK

I looked at the Metzeler literature and they are for DOT tyres/slicks etc so to my understanding the K3's are not on there. I really appreciate the advice and probably worth starting with recommended pressures and working down from there as I am aiming for late March if the weather is okay and...

Just a little advice please, what cold track pressures should I be running for K3’s in the intermediate group on a ZX6R? I contacted Metzeler and they recommend 32 front and 38 rear which to me seems really high for track! I questioned there response and they responded by saying the K3’s are...

Lol yeah could do that but your right time to change! I’m new to track riding only done 4, this was my first year doing them so still learning the ropes and there is a lot of knowledge on this forum so all advice is appreciated

:-) ha ha I’m guessing the answer is bin the tyres the! Think I will get Racetec K3’s ?

I’m bored and suffering serious bike withdrawal with all this bad weather, so I’m looking at my road bike which is predominantly used for track it has maybe 3mm maximum on the rear ( if not just under)on the right hand side, left has more as the circuits I’ve been on mainly right handed! My...

I have no regrets about not going yesterday and was happy with the advice given, ironically I used my bike yesterday to pay a cheque into the bank and I thought to myself I am so please I never went to Oulton as it was sunny but still damp and cold at 3pm.

Typical! But sure enough if we had of made the decision to go it would have rained lol there will be plenty of other occasions

That is very helpful thanks. To be honest it’s swayed my decision to just abandon the hold idea until next year now. I was considering Oulton tomorrow but it’s still forecast inclement weather early on and stops around 9am, but it’s been consistently wet lately and the temperatures are so low I...

Thank for the advice guys, looks like the weather will be the deciding factor ie it must be dry. It’s probably looking unlikely as the forecast for the next few weeks is quite unsettled and with the ambient temperature struggling to get above 14C it doesn’t look promising! Roll on spring lol
