Subscribing to keep an eye.

Thats outstanding that you managed to get sorted. I really was not optimistic you would get through the tests! How does the bike feel as I'd imagine it would rob a massive amount of power and Castle Combe is fast.

Its heat cycles that makes the difference, not the amount of rubber. If you have done more than three days then they are past their best and start to get sketchy if you are running fast group pace. In lower groups it doesn't matter so much and scrubs are not so risky. If the tyres have squared...

Track surface temperature is the key, especially if you are on Supercorsas or any other 'road legal track tyre'. It might seem like a faff checking this stuff but its literally the difference between staying upright and crashing. Anything below 10 degrees and you are in serious trouble with SC1...

Bike looks sexy. I'd just stick it in a clamp and bend it down. Switzerland is not motorsport friendly at all in any way; beautiful though!

Its impossible to adjust a bike to your weight when you are that far over sprung. People are obsessed with SAG setup but basically all this does is get the best working range on the incorrect springs. I've got full data on my racebike now and I've been doing some comparisons just because I've...

Cruise control works on upshifts but deactivates if I downshift on the new GS. I dont remember it working on upshifts on the Gen3 RR but I removed all that stuff a long time ago so I may not be remembering correctly.

It's also just simple choice. I think the BMW sits nicely in the middle. The Panigale is very sensitive and gets lots of head shake. The Yamaha is the opposite and on rails.

There seems to be a bit more of a supply of bikes coming through now?

I'd love to try one, they look incredible. Congratulations :) Ref the engine service intervals; this is much the same as a race bike anyhow so not as bad as it sounds when put into that context. Most Superstock engines will get rebuilt at the end of every season or more frequently.

Good review and I think it confirms what many have said on here. Its so focused on going fast that its not very exciting at legal speeds on the road. It was a similar sort of thing with the Gen 3 anyhow really?

I expect Phil Crowe will be offering fairings for the Gen4 soon enough since he is using the new bikes now.

I forget the details with the unit but have you selected the correct bike in the GS unit? It sounds like it's expecting to be able to see the ABS speed sensor on the CAN network but it isn't there hence the error. All the different sensors send a signal constantly on the CAN bus which are seen...

Have you changed your wheels/tyres and damaged the wheel speed sensor front or back? The other possibility is you have the wrong spacers or have not put it on properly so the sensor is too far away from the ABS ring.

I have the AlpineStars SMX-5 and have never had wet feet despite being out in some uber tropical storms! I dont think they are even the goretex version although would need to confirm that. I've gone off a lot of the Alpinestars gear over the years as its nice and comfortable but made of cheese...

Yes I have a couple although I do keep breaking the damn housings in crashes! Very good little camera with excellent quality. Not quite as good as the expensive GoPro black but I find the 4k on the black doesn't work very well anyhow perhaps due to the camera needing to deal with vibrations etc...

I've been with Properly Protected for the last two seasons but they have been advising to change the policy to a different provider that the one they were using to start with.

Most of the reviews in my opinion are down to the way the power is delivered. The bike has a mega stable power delivery almost like an electric motor which feels slow because it doesn't have the kick in the back. Its why its already doing so well in racing even though it's still on the stock...

Ah ok thanks. Its a nice way to experience something different without taking a cash hit.

I was of the understanding everyone who put an order in a year ago when the Gen 4 was first announced was offered the option of a temporary loan bike but I've not seen any others? Did anyone get here get offered one??
