    So 1st track day on this bike and now some setup questions

    Try twisting the rear suspension measuring device while trying to calibrate the bike........mine used to be difficult to calibrate and that used to work for me when I used the OE suspension. 605mm is quite short hence why you are getting wheelie issues.(17/45 is standard gearing)

    So 1st track day on this bike and now some setup questions

    Assuming it's a Gen 3? ABS in slick mode works well on track. As far as the anti-wheelie goes then it's a "problem" I also have - as above, running a longer wheelbase helps but that makes the bike less flickable...........the axle looks fairly far back in the swingarm - what gearing are you...

    Gen 3 Wheelbase

    Not according to what he told me........a lad I know bought his ex practice bike hence how we ended up talking to him.........the bike is running 16/43 and looking at the axle position, it didn't seem to have a 120 chain.(when I run 16/44 with a 120, the adjuster blocks are towards the rear of...

    Gen 3 Wheelbase

    Are those running 16 / 43 on a Gen 3 using a 118 link chain? Someone I was talking to recently that rode / won on a Gen 3 in BSB Superstock Thou said that wheelbase should be around 600mm. (at the moment mine with a 120 link chain and running 16 / 44 leaves me with a 615mm wheelbase)

    Gen3 Clutch Lever Torx Size

    T6 seems to ring a bell - I bought one of those cheap Draper sets that started at T4 and that allowed me to undo what I need to change bars. Loads of different sets on Amazon for around ?12...

    Gen3 Arrow Comp Ti Full System

    Not wanting to piss on your chips so to speak but I'd take the reading from your phone with a pinch of salt...........I've got a cheapish sound meter and that wasn't that accurate. Hopefully the baffled can will be below the limit of the day you are going to do - at least you'll know whats, what...

    Gen3 Arrow Comp Ti Full System

    It'll help but doubt it will get a 300m can to much below 105db without a baffle - no idea what it'd get down to with a baffle I'm afraid. A 450mm / 50.8mm tube MHP or Pipewerx is your best bet for around ?250 > ?300 depending on the model you pick.

    Gen3 Arrow Comp Ti Full System

    Loud...........Someone I know got black flagged at Oulton with a can that size........my 350mm hex Akro won't pass the 102db test without a baffle and my 450mm MHP can tests at around 100db again with no baffle..........I'd expect that to be close / above 105db without a baffle.

    Gen 3 Upgrades - Track

    Before I went the full K-Tech route, I took my forks to MCT and the change of springs / air gap made a big difference especially when I fitted the 2D Pot.

    Gen 3 Upgrades - Track

    I've found the standard Gen 3 brakes very good but then I use either Z04s or SBS DSs pads which imho are the first things I'd try although they are more expensive than a Brembo RCS M/C.

    Ex S1000RR Rider

    The gear box on my GT is one of the smoothest I've ever experienced............really good road bike for the type of roads I ride on once I'd sorted a few things. I was quite disappointed when I first got my GT - loads of vibes and nowhere near the amount of shove KTM / GT Owners rave about...

    Gen 3 Upgrades - Track

    Lighter springs c/w bigger air gap made a difference for me but then I suppose was it the springs or was it the air gap change as both were done at the same time?

    Decat

    Is yours a 15/16 or a 17/18? I seem to think that it's easier decatting the 15/16 exhaust?
  15. Gobert

    Decat

    No - they are an ex-smith racing set from the 2018TT. CRC's in decent condition - ?250 off ebay for the just the main fairing.

    I'd say yes but you never know until you get tested............. 20220707_123529 by Andy Yates, on Flickr

    Decat

    Noise wise I doubt a decatted standard system with a link pipe would be quieter than a full system. I fitted a full system last winter - Akro stainless steel - and bought a 450mm MHP can which has a 50.8mm internal diameter tube and that tests at 99/100db (without a baffle) at Oulton and I have...

    DCT setup

    Interesting.........I've got a Gen 3 which Phil unlocked / flashed the ECU on last year and I have to run mine at -7 / Slick to get good drive. The TC works fine - if it's much lower than -7 then I can feel / hear / see the TC working and I've wondered if it needs something as simple as the tyre...

    What's the track day choice of tyre for these bikes?

    Same here re sizes and compounds ........... like everything else they've gone up a lot this year, ?85 a pair difference to 12 months ago.(bought 3 sets a few weeks ago and had a little cry after paying :biggrin-new: )
