I'm year three and getting a bit quicker now. Looks like we will have the two 600 Army Teams again next year and I'm wanting to get a fast 1000 team together but we dont have many 1000 riders. If the Team is there then I'll be at every round; if not then I may pick and choose and mix it up with...

Yes I will usually change front springs two or three times over a weekend to get the best use of the available grip. It only takes me ten minutes to do now. Not that many club racers do this but the very fast guys will all do it. I'm interested in the data and setup so I've really got into all...

Only just seen this post. I'm not sure if we have met in real life or if I'm at Croft yet but do come and say hello at Team Army if so. +1 on getting the time until Melbourne Loop :) I found you need a very stable front end to hold a fast line around there which is at odds to wanting it softer...

Re: French adventure & BMW S10000 RR touring trip ,, all good advice welcome (-: Great trip! Agreed on the mileage; we are both used to long stints in the saddle and still only managed about 200 miles a day maximum through Europe for anything over a few days of riding. I'm hoping the GS will...

Re: TRW-Lucas Pads (thanks for editing my earlier post @alex). I get them from Chris at Tracktech https://www.facebook.com/tracktech1st/. Mention Monners from the Army Team sent you and I'm sure he will give you a good deal. SBS are the same pads as Bendix and the DS Endurance compound that...

These ones are TRW. They have actually been really good and one of the few pads I'll use instead of Z04 Brembos, I was just caught out and forgot to check. These have done two days at Mugello, three race days at Cadwell and two race days at Donnington so they have lasted really well. A normal...

Good to see your thought. Did Bahnstormers have much to say about delivery dates? are they getting bikes through yet?? I'm happy with my loan GS for the winter but I must admit I'll be envious if people start posting about their new Gen 4!

I haven't updated in a few rounds, it's been a bit of a roller coaster at times but I'm back on it after the awesome Red Bull Ring and Mugello trip. Last weekend was the penultimate round of the Nolimits Endurance Championship with a 6hr race and it could not have gone better for me and the...

The Barons 2019 bike is/was a long term loan bike.

Hi, I have a full lights and complete fairings and other road parts in perfect condition. I'm just leaving the house so dont have time to check prices but I would be looking for the going rate since they are like new.

Jesus, sounds a right nightmare mate :( I'm surprised you had a problem with the Akra; is it a short one? One of the big reasons I use the BMW is because it is so much quieter than the Panigale.

Does anyone know if these end cans will also fit on the akro race exhaust as well as the stock cat system?

Do you have noise levels figures on the exhaust and small end can please, and would you sell just the system without the can? Can I get first refusal and price on the lighttech chain adjusters when available please?

We've used both the S21 and the Metzeller M7RR on road and track and for what they are they are very effective. I've raced the M7RR in March for the last two years and whilst it didn't feel all that great on the BMW it did keep me shiny side up in 5-10 degrees mornings which was the only real...

The slower turning is probably due to the shape of the rear tyre, I find Bridgstones in general are less pointy on the rear than many other brands. It makes the bike feel stable around town but it drops into corners slower. 35 - 36 psi hot on the front is pretty normal on the soft Pirelli and...

You have a 16/46 sprocket set (stock is 17/45 for gen 2/3 and 17/44 for gen 1). This is a really big rear sprocket so you will never run out of adjustment. I have a 16/43 with 120 link chain at the moment and whilst it is borderline after three days max revs at Mugello, it has not stretched out...

I found with stock suspension the wear was reasonable but with the Mupo I have now the tyre wear is almost always perfect as long as I use a logical compound. The only tear I've had this year has been a rear SC1 at Redbull ring. The SC2 that was left on from the UK was fine and I thought the SC1...

Tyre pressure is probaby the most important thing that new guys get wrong. Buy a tyre pressure gauge and set pressures before going out and (very importantly) when you get back in as the tyre pressure will go up when they get hot on track and if you are going fast it can be dangerous if you...

Congratulations on winning the trackday. Assen is supposed to be one of the best tracks in the world so an awesome one to go to. I really want to go there.
