Taking James out on track with you next time would make a great video

My god James is so humble. TT legend and Dakar too. What a legend.

James is so typically British I swear, talking himself down so much. I guess his IOM TT results speak for themselves! Love getting to hear from him.

I'm sure Lewis would never notice if his tank extender went missing 🤫

@Frankss.y Жыл бұрын

Those tank extenders are so worth it. Thin 3M tape somehow keeps it on, and no problems for 12 months+ running one. The extra control is lovely sauce

I only know motocross, but it's amazing how much mucking about people will do trying to keep the front up before they just up the spring weight. Has to be worse in RR, where you spend longer periods on the brakes. Damping will not hold you up, just slow the sink. Springs hold the bike up. If it needs to be held up more, more spring is the only way. Small changes yield big improvements & if you take too big a bite, you can mix springs. It is all so easy, effective, and inexpensive. Why do people seemingly try to deny this?

Really interesting vid guys. That was most definitely an education! Also goes to show you don't need to go nuts & spend loads on all the blingey bits to make tangible differences. The brake set up part was particularly enlightening as everyone immediately says get a new master cylinder etc but this budget way seems like a sensible & cost effective place to start first.

I'm sure that I read somewhere that pushing those big mirrors through the air at 150 mph consumes roughly 8-12 Hp. Try removing them, I did on my17000 mile 2002 R1. The difference on the Isle of Man and in Germany was noticeable. A very cheap mod and weight saving. Another absorbing feature, thanks to all at 44Teeth.

James being super professional and polite. Why not just try his superstock geometry and spec the paretos (80/20 rule) components like the seat, pads, and bars? The lift sensor has gone too i guess as part of the abs delete? Might explain the brake releasing if the rear wheel lifts.

Question for my motorcycle gurus: I have an old barn-find K3 GSX-R 750. I've opened up the clip-ons as far as I could, but I get mega mega shoulder fatigue. It's been 3 trackdays and I just get super tired. Would you say it's the suit that is tight, or the clip-ons not big enough? I'm 180CM 90KGS. Difficult to answer I know but I'm slightly puzzled. Thank you darlings!
