Bridgestone finally come to the party and make a 160 rear. I've been using them, and they make me feel comfortable and confident to go much quicker than before around corners. It feels like you don't have to lean as hard to make the same corner speed as before due to the tire profiles front and...

If you're confident, you can rock the bike onto one of the jack stands, remove the jack and put a 2nd jack stand under there, then rock the bike back onto the 2nd jack stand.

I used a jack stand on one side and the jack on either sides of the exhaust near the footpegs from memory. I wince watching people jack up using the exhaust, surely it'd put a lot of strain on the exhaust to engine studs. You can remove the rear wheel so it balances on the front wheel better.

I like PJ1 because it's in between oily and waxy, it's just right.

There's also a clutch cable adjuster under the top of the left fairing.

I got some Pirelli Rosso IIs recently as they were on sale due to the Rosso III already being out. They are really grippy and have a great profile which matches front and rear, feels good and balanced. Doesn't feel like I'm pushing them at all when cranked over.

Did you have the punch mark on the clutch pressure plate lined up with the punch mark on the inner basket ? I'd double check that first. You can see it at the 10:30 position on the inner basket here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7731EA-W2I I'd then check the clutch adjuster on the...

Looks like a good track, I remember this track on Gran Turismo 3, back when I used to waste time playing games.

Google image search of hot chicks riding motorbikes. If they are attention seekers, it's working. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=hot+chick+riding+motorbike&biw=1366&bih=639&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI9qOu-fqiyAIVTYANCh3Bgw7E

Hot chicks that ride hard are hard to find. The GSXR-750 should go well on track, 190 kg, comfortable, apparently one of the more confident bikes to get your knee down on.

Can't the Juice Box or Power commander adjust timing ? I betta follow that link and have a look.

I'd put it down to all those skids you did as a kid going down wet grass slopes. All kids do that right ? Go as fast as you can down a grass hill and then lock up the rear and see if you can control it, if not gracefully do a controlled sliding loop ? Maybe it's not allowed in parks now. It...

Warm up the tyres and go at your own pace and within your own zone of what's a comfortable speed for you. New tyres are always best for the track, due to the optimal profile and fresh rubber. Life's too short for commuting tyres in my opinion, but I'm getting on in years now. I'd rather change...

It's so tempting to punch through windows when they wind them down... self control, positive mental attitude

What was the charge in this case ? It'd be a "negligent driving" $105 fine here. Yet your bike is off the road and he nearly killed you, doesn't seem fair.

He should be charged with attempted vehicular manslaughter. I've had a few attempt this so far, they always say something stupid when you tap on the window at the next lights. The stupidest would be the guy that saw me slowing down for a person turning ahead of me using their indicators, so...

Either that or dodgy TPS. If it was only doing it at higher loads, I'd suspect spark plugs.

Sounds like water got into the cam angle sensor to me.

The arrow doesn't lie, it only points the opposite way for a very brief time while leaning back the other way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZomZhTBaiSo Another tip is to stay very still on the bike when turning. "Being a good passenger" as Keith says.
