Love track days but want to see you be safe. Be careful you do not put too much preload on spring. I am ordering a set of Super Sports for my bike also.. They say they warm up easy and with a lower pressure can increase contact patch 52%. When is your track day planned and let us know how you like the new Michelins. I had the Power Pures and they were lighter but you had to keep the pressure up because the side walls would squirm around. Always ran 30 front and 29 rear on 2CT and the Pures with warmers.
Hello!
I think the michelin power supersport works fine for me. No warmers but they heat up pretty quick. I havent touched the suspension, i need to ride it more first but the biggest problem for me is that im to scared to puch this bike hard because i dont want to drop it...

Thats a beautiful bike! What tank is that?
Also, I am curious which shock and linkage you are using - do you have a closeup pic of the rear suspension?
Sorry, very late reply. This is the suspension linkage.

Hello!
Sorry, there are no riding pictures from yesterday on Midlanda motorpark, but i will go to Gelleråsen in Karlskoga in late July because the leading scandinavian mc magazine "Bike" will do a repotage on the bike. Then pictures will come be patient..

Hi!!
Includes a link to youtube
I have been to the racetrack Midlanda motorpark again and done a decent number of laps and the bike works really well. Fun to ride, light and easy to flick over from side to side, the brakes are awesome with new Galfer pads.

I dont know, no one has shown any intrest in the bike so i will probably keep it. I want to change rear brake caliper to a hanging brembo and some other small mods so i still have work to do on the bike. But if someone wants to pay for it i will sell it and buy another bike, maybe a Ducati or something else but i want to have something in the garage to work on
