I've got a set on my Gen 3 - no complaints, no issues and well made for the money.(like everything else, they have gone up quite a bit in the last couple of years - I think I paid about ?210 2 1/2 years ago)

Very nice.

+1 - I ran Pirelli, Metz and Conti front slicks with V02 rears prior to the V02 fronts changing a couple of years ago....would be happy to do the same again.

Dave posts a lot on another forum I'm on, runs his own team at the TT - including a Gen 3 S1000RR - and was crewing for the Truloves in BSB last year - he does suspension, engine and race bike builds.........loads of vids on his youtube channel.

They are - I've been doing 3 or 4 double headers at Anglesey for the past 5 years or so..............the low numbers are great - 1/3 of those in a "normal" NL group at Anglesey - as there is plenty of room on track and very few red flags. They get a lot of repeat business and therefore a lot of...

Not at the moment - I've got the 4 double headers booked with Jamie Whitham in Apr, May, Jun and Aug but might pop down on those dates and see if I can get on for a half day.(I'd already decided on my Anglesey dates before those were released)

Same with mine before I fitted a full system........the bike used to quieten down as you approached 5500rpm......:D

That will make quite a difference as the butterfly was closed at the noise test rpm..............

I've got 4 double headers booked for this year plus it's only 15 mins away...........:fat:

May MSV dates are up now.

Pete Clifford really knows his stuff.

I know mine's a Gen 3 but I recently had mine flashed by Crowe Performance after fitting a full system - he unlocks the ECU himself and you can use the RCK3 software going forward. The ?750 included dyno time to sort the fueling etc. You also have all the other adjustments carried out including...

If that was you asking on FB then I'd avoid the hammer and a piece of wood advice..............

Yes - I live around 300 miles away from him but went there as he was one of the few suspension guys that knew a bit about the electronic OE suspension.

Mine was improved with lighter front springs, a bigger air gap and raising the front (flush) / dropping the rear via the eccentric spacer...........I got MCT to replace the fork springs & oil. That made the bike steer & "feel" nicer especially at the front. Not much that be done to the rear...

How heavy are you? Have you changed the geometry at all?

I know mines a Gen 3 but as far as tyres go, I couldn't agree more - I've done a few road-bike-only days were at that time you couldn't use slicks / warmers so rode on S22's and while ok, the feel / grip especially from the front was very different and I felt I had very little in reserve.

Exactly - tyres are a very good example of where it always nice to have more than you need.

But does it matter?...........I've seen guys on ?50k plus bikes riding in novice and inters - each to their own imho. There's no "right" or "wrong" way to do track days and sometimes people change things to make a bike nicer / easier / safer to ride rather than purely to go faster.

If you are going to the hassle of replacing the OE system then you might as well do it properly with a flash or PCV etc........at least you have somewhere close in HM that know S1000RR's. It was a 10 hour round trip - twice - to get mine sorted.(not by HM)
