    1st Track Day Experience

    So I had my first ever track day last weekend. I am a good confident rider on the road. But track is a totally different experience. Did not expect it to be such a challenge. I just could not get the weight off my hands to freely turn the bike after hard breaking before a turn. Got a little...

    Clunk and grinding engaging 1st gear

    Not shifting/stuck in 1st gear

    Let me set the scene.....gearbox was operating normally, and then I had to remove the rear wheel. I placed it in first gear to remove the rear axle nut. Subsequently, I cannot get the gearbox to shift up/down, nor will the rear wheel move when the clutch is pulled..... Any ideas people????

    1st Panigale???

    Hey what's up guys? Some unfortunate issues with my previous gsxr 750. Finally gave out on me so my brother is letting me borrow his 2011 Yamaha r1. Now, the first couple times I rode his Bike, I didn't like it much. The throttle felt jerky and the aggressive seating position was hard on my...

    1st Trackday of 2017

    Late start to the season for me with a new kid at home. First time of the year at a new track (Pacific Raceways). Scenic, undulating and twisty, tons of elevation and bumpy! It's physical and it really exposed where I need to improve both in bike setup and riding technique before gridding up...

    1st trackday on 1199R

    Hey guys, just had my first track weekend on the new bike and man what a difference from the 848evo. Didn't carry speed through the corners like the EVO but it more than made up for it on corner exit and down the straight! Chuckwalla is better for a middle weight bike so adjusting to a bike...

    Woodcraft Rear-set Foot Controls, GP-Shift (except 1st)

    I have installed the Woodcraft rear-set foot controls, GP-Shift. It took some time and plenty of thread-lock; however, the job is not quite done; it appears that I can shift from neutral to 6th and back to neutral; but, for the life of me, I cannot shift from neutral into first. The bike is on a...
