Thanks for the replies everyone...

Yes, agree your point about tuition (and my strategy for a long time too). This is the first time I’ve even considered any form of aftermarket exhaust. I reckon that losing 5kgs off the bike (and some off me) will make it even easier to pass those red wheelbarrows which have sprung up...

How noticeable is any performance drop from adding the baffle?

Hi, I'm considering upgrading my K67 to a full Akra (stainless headers, titanium can) system, but am concerned that the increased noise levels may mean that the bike doesn't pass noise testing in the UK. Regardless of what the vendors of these systems say, I was wondering whether the forum...

Hi, I had similar problems with my laptimer at Mugello last week too. Only this was a Solo 2 DL unit mounted in front of the tank. Looking at the data, the positional accuracy was pretty good around almost all of the lap apart from on the main straight where the grandstand is. My...

The one referred to as "adjusting screw 2" in the diagram on page 120 of the manual which is pasted earlier in the thread. Apologies if this wasn't clear.

Just to add my, somewhat tardy, two-penneth into this thread. I was advised by a keen, and fast, track day rider who has a lot of experience of running S1000s to make this change whilst I was at Portimao last weekend. He rotated the collar by 360 degrees (not sure how many holes that equates...

Hello, As a curiosity, what are the typical "average maximum" brake pressures that you're seeing during hard braking when on track? I'm using a Aim Solo 2 DL so the reported values are coming straight out of the bike's ECU. I appreciate that there are going to be lots of variables here...

Aftermarket Fork Spring Suppliers Hi, Has anyone come across a supplier of aftermarket springs for the K67 front? I?ve asked a couple of suspension specialists and so far have drawn a blank. The internet hasn?t been forthcoming either unless you want to go down the Alpha racing cartridge...

Apologies for the delay in replying Bananaman.... I mean the minimum distance between the dust seal and the top of the "silver fork bottom" which holds the wheel. Put another way, if you were to put a very thin keeper/zip tie on the bottom of the fork, this keeper would be 10mm from the top of...

Are you using stock suspension? I was told by BMW that bottom out was 10mm from the bottom of the stanchion???

I'm using the ubiquitous zip tie too. In fact, I'm using one on both legs since I wanted to check the the first one wasn't somehow slipping down the stanchion rather than being pushed down. Both are telling the same story. I think we are going heading along the same lines though. Whether you...

Hi Alex, Thanks. Yes, I'm using Race Mode Pro with rear rebound at 10. CJC

Hi, I would like to ask for the views of anyone who uses their Gen 4 on the track and, more particularly, about whether anyone is struggling to stop the forks from bottoming out. By way of background, I weigh about 95kg plus kit, and typically ride somewhere towards the top of the inters...

Hello, Has anyone had any recent quotes to provide the compulsory medical insurance cover for European track days? I know that RBG cover Iberia for a reasonable cost, but I'm looking for coverage for Italy. The UK market seems to be highly dislocated at the moment. Many of the brokers are...

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions about where to stay near Cadwell? Looking for a place where the bike can be secure ideally because it can be hidden out of sight. Please PM me so that we don't inadvertently create a list of go to sites for ne'er-do-wells. Thanks in advance, CJC

My new bike arrives in a few days - woo hoo! It has been specced with a lithium battery that I'm keen to remove to avoid the problems documented in this thread. There are going to be times when I'm not going to be able to run a trickle charger on the lithium battery. For me, having an old...

Hi, Portimao, Mugello and Silverstone always rate highly with me. You? CJC

Hi all, Allow me to introduce myself. I?ve been a long-time lurker gleaning much information from this site, and have finally signed up. Thanks for all your help so far. I?m just in the process of buying a new S100RR Gen4 to replace my venerable CBR1000RR8. Whilst I love the bike, the old...

Hi all, Further to my earlier post, here is a list of questions that I asked the BikesPlast sales representative, along with the verbatim answers I received. I?ve also included some contact details should you wish to ask more. BikesPlast has also unilaterally offered a 7.5% discount to forum...
