Morning all, So the first track day on the S1000RR has been completed....what....a...machine. I was having some handling issues that I'm hoping for some help with. I found the bike tended to understeer both into and out of corners. If I entered the corner with the throttle closed I would need...

Hi all, me again! As we have now decided on a van as transport for the bike this opens up some doors for me in terms of preparing the bike. Namely Race Fairings as insurance for the standard Motorsport kit, along with more track focused tyres. With regard to tyres, I am currently on...

Hi all, this may seem like a daft rhetoric but I am debating getting a tow hook fitted along with a (must be fold flat for space) trailer. I've looked into cost and my car is around ?600 to fit a hook and about ?700 for a suitable trailer. I'm thinking of just renting a van for the day/two days...

Morning all, I need some Gilles HP spares. Can anyone recommend the best place to go for these or is it a case of going to Gilles direct?

Hi all, I'm very tempted to get the front sensor to allow for the separate compression and rebound adjustments on the forks. Best price so far is from Prime Factors @ ?399 inc Vat with a 5-7 working day lead time. First track day this year (and on the 2015) will be at Donington on March 28th...

Hi all. I will be fitting some new tyres for the forthcoming season and my first trackday at Donington on the 28th March. It is likely I will be going with Bridgstone S21's or (thanks to Alex haha) the new Michelin Power RS'. Currently I'm on very squared off S20 Evo's with a 190/55 rear...

Hi all, this may be a daft question. I have had a look at a 2015 S1000RR today that did not have the slick +/- button on the left controls. I assume that this means that the DTC settings cannot be altered in slick and user mode e.g +7/-7?

Hi all, not had my 2014 long but I've been offered a reasonably good deal at a dealership to swap to a 2015 RR Sport. My current bike has the FGRT202 forks and Ohlins Shock, along with Ohlins damper and Leo vince Full system. The 2015 is stock. The above mods are not include so I can recoup...

Hi all. I've successfully fitted a set of Ohlins FGRT 202 forks and a TTX rear. I've set the forks as per the ohlins manual and the shock at 1.5 turns our from full short. I'm 85KG plus gear so have 10.0/10.0 springs in the front and a 95 on the rear. Would anyone kindly share some...

Hi all. Hopefully someone can help. It seems ketch have a selection of part numbers depending on the year/type of our bike. For their cartridge kit the numbers change for 10-2014 to a different code for the HP4 and 15+ models (clearly something to do with DDC). It seems the Ohlins NIX30 fits...

Hi all. Looking at getting a headstock stand for fork removal etc. What size pin does the bike require?

Hi all, looking for some help with my Gen 2. I've done some searching on here and on the net but still looking for some guidance. The bike will be road and track. Prefer it to be set up for the track and to sacrifice the comfort on the road for better performance. Shock - I'm thinking of going...

Hello all. Picked up my 2014 Gen2 around a week ago. Managed to get out for a ride on Sunday. I've made the switch from a Ducati 1199s. So far i couldnt be happier, the RR is far easier to ride not to mention it actually works at partial throttle and low speeds (there is always traffic!). Im...
