    Changing handlebar grips with heated grips

    Thanks I'll get them ordered, the quick action is definitely needed on track, last weekend I rode Aragon and found myself really twisting to fully open, and on that track you are often on full throttle! (of course I meant to wrote -get rid of- and not -get rid I'd- !!!

    Changing handlebar grips with heated grips

    Hi All, I want to change my grips on my bike, they are heated and I don't use them (track only and I live in the south of France). I find the lip at the end of the grip too hard and after a couple of days on track it's a pain. Anyone changed their grips to a race type grip? How did you get on...

    Suspension settings with 2D sensor for track

    Ok guy, thanks...... I have been doing track days for more that 10 years and generally take some advice on a good base setting that works well and take it from there. I got some setting suggestion today from a guy who knows his subject, Troy Corser. I'll give that a whirl.

    HP4 Track Conversion

    Hi A friend and I both run HP4's as track only bikes. As stated they are good out of the box, apart from the obvious fairings and crash protection, slightly shorter gearing is better, run race pads (I run Brembo RC but they don't last long), the slick mode works great. Bin the CAT, get the...

    First Track Day at Paul Ricard

    The track was renovated some years ago as it was owned by Bernie, its has the best infrastructure I have seen at a track and I have been to many over the past 30 years. to ride its great, only down side is its a bit flat. Best track for me is Aragon followed by Le Mans.
