First off, I love my FZ6!! It is fun on the track (I have done about 10 track days on it prior to getting my Triumph D675) but, it does drag some items. First, remove the center stand. The conveinence of the the center stand is wonderful but it will drag, if you have a paddock stand that is the...
So im going to be a the gap from the evening of the 15th departing on the 19th, if anyones going to be in the area let me know and we can catch a ride :rockon: If your just interested and can available on late notice let me know, I have space in the house if you need a place to stay.
Yeah the headers are really strong. All you really need is a solid point under the bike where you can run something across onto the stands. I have even seen some at the track that run a rod through the swing arm pivot (assuming it is large enough diameter then put on stands. Do the R's pegs...
Floor jack and Jack Stands supporting a 2x4 under the headers is the way I went on the front, worked well and it was stable. When front is done move the jack and stands back to a solid area under the middle of the bike and raise the rear end up using same process of stands and 2x4. Be sure to...
I went with a Triumph Daytona 675 for my second bike, was looking for a track bike. Rode the Street Triple R at that time as well and if I was looking for replacement that would have been it for me!!!
Yeah, what I'm getting is on the rebound it starts into a second stroke rather than just stopping when it returns. Changed the oil over the weekend with 15w again, same issue. With the stock setup, i.e no valving, I understand oil weight is the primary way to control rebound I was wondering if...
So I installed the Springs last year, with a number of track days behing me, more confidence and increased pace I am noticing the the rebond control (or lack therof) more than before. I was wondering if anyone has added more preload via additional spacers to assist in resolving this issue? I...
Sorry for teh late notice, my work schedule has forced me to give up my dates in May/June. I have re-booked for August 15-18 (Sun-Th), I will be in Birmingham for track days on the 14-15 and then heading up to Deals gap for monday-thursday. I have the Tree Tops booked for those dates. Anyone who...
Bump: My TX group is falling quickly and I thought I would see if there are any other FZ6's that may be interested. I'm the hook for the deposit at this time and unless I can come up with a few more. I may have to have Ron open it up. I have the house from 5/31-6/7 if your interested please...
Good Call out, I am am part of the HPC group as well and the deiscount is nice. You should get out on the track, well worth the time and $$ I can assure you and with the discount it's about 120 for a great day of winding out your bike in (relatively) safe environment. If you want to find out...
Great, always cool to have more bikes out there. I was real beginner last april when I started last on my FZ6, they did a great job of making comfortable, and VERY fun, it is very easy to get hooked! The RideSmart group does a great job of instruction and organization. You'll enjoy it and...
Hey HouTex, I looked for you all day to say hello!! I was pitted right next to you and never saw who it was that was riding the fz6. I was on on my Triumph 675 saturday (The Black one by the suspension folks) and in Lvl 3 so I presume our class and track times didn't match up. Diamonds edge...
So Pete are you and I the only Track idiots here form TX?? the wife is trying to get me to go to Austin for a weekend to visit a friend of hers. Fortunately she is open to me arranging this around a track day with Elite. Are you instructing there? I have a nice new Triumph 675 that is going to...
I'll let you know if I need anything Mark, look forward to seeing you guys there! Not sure what the total cost will be at this time as I am trying to get the TX group locked down. I think the rent was like 1200 for the week and I was planning on about 8-9 + food. So the math would work out to...
Mark and Anthony, your in, plan to attend on those dates if you want I will shoot more information in the next month or so. I am still trying to get my herd here together but I am going to count you guys in, I need to start the formal planning stuff like food here soon.
Just in case anyone...
Thought I would see if Pete or any of the other TX folks will be hitting the track here anytime soon (yes I get understand we just received 12" of snow in Dallas). My first will be with Ridesmart at MSR-H outside of Houston on March 6. Anyone thinking about a track day in TX??
Brian
Bump :)
With only a few showing interest I'm inclined to keep my dates (5/31-6/7) and make space for Shaggy and Ant, I am guessing I will have at least a few drop from my TX group. After all I need Mark along to play beer sherpa, the boy can twist and lean through the dragon with a least a 12...
