    New 2013 vs 2009 with 10k miles

    +1! While those mods are great and some are very expensive (the Givi setup alone is ~ $1500), typically mods add very little value to the bike. The seller would be wise to pull the mods off and sell everything separately, or accept the fact that he will not get the $8k he's looking to get. In...

    JOTR's 2014 Race Season

    Nice! I'm coaching BRC this weekend.. so can't make it out there, much as I would love to. I actually really like Lightning track. My next track day is on Lightning on June 10th. Good luck!

    First Full Track day in Advanced Group @ Shenny

    Looks pretty challenging.. lots of curves with varying radii and a bit of elevation changes too. Pavement doesn't exactly look perfect either, but hard to tell from the video. Good stuff!!

    First Full Track day in Advanced Group @ Shenny

    Can't wait to watch this!! At work now.. youtube blocked :( How did advanced feel after N? Does it feel *safer* knowing everyone around you knows what he/she is doing?

    JOTR's 2014 Race Season

    Loved it! Clearly a better choice for the track vs FZ1. I even passed a few people in N group :O

    JOTR's 2014 Race Season

    Outstanding job!! Extra awesome for me to watch, since I did a track day on T-bold yesterday!! My first on R6. Funny.. your video almost looks to me like it's sped up.. you're just SO much faster than my pace! Very very cool!

    Home made GoPro pole mount.

    Yup.. no need to buy the special made one. I'm using an extendable pole from a mitt-on-a-stick (for washing cars) and a handlebar GoPro attachment.. no need to modify anything. Here's some video: (I've also got loads of snowboard vids shot with GoPro on pole, but I won't bore you with those)...

    Stress Crack In Frame on 2007 FZ1

    Right on! Test-ride a stock FZ09 and it'll make you believe a stock FZ1 has the smoothest throttle tip-in in the world :Rockon:

    Stress Crack In Frame on 2007 FZ1

    Checked mine over lunch, as closely as I could. No cracks. That weld does go all the way around. No way I can get to the inside of the frame on the right side without pulling parts off.

    Stress Crack In Frame on 2007 FZ1

    Sorry to derail the thread, but Riga?? Wow.. I was born in Riga in 74 (well.. Salaspils) and lived there till I moved to the States when I was 14.

    Stress Crack In Frame on 2007 FZ1

    Oh man.. so sorry to see this! Sincerely hope Yamaha steps up. I know there's an old thread on this forum about frame cracking.. loads of people chimed in. This is a relatively common issue, sadly. I've put ~25k on my bike.. thanks for the reminder to check it again.. which I will do...

    static vs dynamic

    I've proven to myself that static can be as accurate as dynamic, if not more so. I'm sure this can be debated, but here's what I've done. I static-balanced my front wheel and took it to cyclegear (they do free dynamic blancing). Machine confirmed that balance was perfect. I then...

    Slip on help

    Just out of curiosity: why would you want to repalce TB with a different aftermarket can? I run Scorpion for 2 reasons: 1. Guaranteed to never need repacking. 2. Lifetime warranty to original owner. Those 2 points were very appealing to me after my carbon Delkevic exploded (2 years of...

    JOTR's 2014 Race Season

    Poor guy who got around you and lost it on the first chicane.. cold track + cold tires.. they always say that's where most crashes happen early in the day. Great (educational) video for me! I'll be doing a track day there 1 week from today. Noticed your lines was quite different from the...
