V4 Stock Exhaust Ground Clearance

tadashi · Mar 24, 2021

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock exhaust clearance at full lean? Dragged the exhaust in the bowl at chuckwalla, could have been pretty ugly. The bike had the OEM shock and it was a bit too soft for me...this definitely didn't help.

I guess this means I have a reason to go aftermarket !!!

Can't say I done that, but I don't I ride as fast as you do. Have you raised the rear ride height? Not sure if you can with the base model. My shock is 318MM eye to eye and I'm running heavier front fork springs.

So that was last Friday, I rode the same track on Monday the opposite direction and threw on a TTX +4mm ride height and the bike was amazing I had excessive wear and sliding with the OE shock - the TC light stayed on corner exit every time but with the TTX setup I had perfect tire wear and the TC didn’t even really kick on. Crazy difference.

Also when I was spinning the rear my carbon rear wheel really heated up- with the TTX and proper grip it stayed cool. [emoji2369]

How long did it take to go from, "damn that was scary" to "hell yeah, that was awesome!"

Right!
Pretty quick.. I wish I didn’t have wheelie control on for that little straight!

HA! YA I noticed that, "fk-that!' wheelie right after. Nice.

Yes I can verify that the TTX upgrade made you a very fast son of a gun Monday!!!

It was good seeing you. Let me know when you’ll be back at the track. I’m shooting for 3 a month.

This was so cool to watch. I am glad the outcome was good! It was impressive you didn't fixate on the exit after the wobble. Also you can see your TC light activate right before the scrape. I am curious what the lean angle was right as you scraped.
