    Decat

    My Gen 3 is under warranty until next May. After that I want to gradually turn it more into a track bike. First thing will be fairings and at the same time get rid of the cat. One concern with doing this is to make sure I still pass noise tests no problem, and on the quiet days. Rather than a...

    Chain tension

    Am I measuring chain tension correctly? Should it be any different for track? Swingarm says 45-50mm distance between chain at top and bottom, measured halfway between sprockets. I do this on the side stand with tape measure. So many people have seen chain when I'm at track and commented that...

    GB Racing engine cover damage

    Had an off in the wet at Oulton. Ixon air bag worked well - good to know! Bike survived remarkably well with only damage to the GB frame slider and engine cover - totally did their job! I've bought a new bullet for the frame slider but some guys recommended just sticking a thick bit of plastic...

    Forged & Cast wheel mix

    Hi guys Last season I bought some forged wheels which I used with slicks. I put wets on the cast wheels. On a rainy day at Donnington after using the wets it started drying out. I was advised to stick the rear slick in but keep the front wet as it was still quite wet. Seemed to work well and...

    Lithium battery vs lead acid

    Hi bike is Gen 3 2018. I swapped out the oem lead acid for a Skyrich Lithium Ion Battery mid season las year. All seemed well for rest of season. Then at Almeria in Oct bike wouldn't start the beginning of one session. Turned over but didn't bite. Chap put a booster pack on and it fired up. No...

    When i bought the bike a few months ago (Gen 3 2018), the chap had done 3k miles and mainly commuted backwards and forwards to work. It had front wings on it which i immediately took off thinking I don't want to look like a wannabe pro GP twat at track days! In the garage yesterday and thought...

    Rear axle chain tensioners

    after changing wets back and forth a bit yesterday at Donnington i think it's probably good to invest in some of these. Are they worth it, do they make wheel changing and chain tensioning much easier? What would people recommend? Any for sale? cheers John

    Sprockets

    Crowe performance suggested a change to oem - 1 down on the front and one up on the rear (from 17/45 to 16/46) Chap at my garage, who mainly works on race and track bikes, suggested stick with standard 17/45. Something to do with changing wheelbase and that messing up/around with suspension set...
