In this video, I show you around my Triumph Daytona 675R that is a dedicated track and race bike, fully prepared for club racing. We talk about the modifications I've made, the overall setup, and how I like the bike as a whole ahead of CVMA Round 3. Looking forward to getting out and racing this weekend, and sharing those videos with you as well! Have a great weekend! :)
Shoutout and thank you to sakura Hz for this video's background track!

Gorgeous bike! Im pretty sure I had my bike redone just like a reddit/forum post you made a long time ago. Id love to see the bike this feb at buttonwillow and maybe pick your mind about my 675r

Good video Chad! You might think of trying a Discaciatta 19mm master cylinder too, I went from an RCS19 to it on my rsv4 and like it better despite being the same piston ratio. I think it has a little bit less “wooden” feel than the RCS19. With that being said both were a big improvement over stock.

Thank you! Appreciate the kudos and the referral. I think I have seen some people on the Triumph forum running the Discaciatta who had good things to say about it, so I'll certainly keep it in mind. Regarding the RCS19, when you say "wooden" feeling, can you elaborate? Like it's kind of flimsy?

@ndrsvlog9697 2 жыл бұрын

@@hiimchad by wooden I mean the lever felt firm, but the bike didn’t brake as much as it could. I think this is a consequence of the piston diameter and lever ratio as compared to the rest of the braking system. The Discaciatta feels more proportional to the lever feel vs biking slowing down.

Great inspirational video. I've got one question, with what did you stick the carbon tank protectors on the tank and how did you hold them in place while the kit or glue was drying. Thanks! Gr from the Netherlands

@hiimchad Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed! There was something included with the sliders to secure them, I think it was an epoxy or resin? They've survived there crashes, so I whatever it was, it works well!

10:55 in terms of clutch less downshifts, did you fit your bike with autoblip in addition to the quickshifter?

@hiimchad 2 ай бұрын

Nope, no autoblipper. There are very few aftermarket options for this bike since they still use a mechanical/cable-actuated throttle, and from what I gathered they are not very reliable

Cool vid. If you start getting more serious about racing, and begin pushing the bike harder, you could consider getting an aftermarket rear linkage and after market triple clamp with adjustable offset. That first gen (and “1.5” gen) Daytona has HORRIBLE geometry. Needs way more trail, and way more linearity rear linkage, than stock. They will transform front end stability, and rear end grip and “hook up,” respectively.

What brand race bodywork do you have on it? Recently got a 2012 Daytona and all the kits I’ve found use the supersport tail (use OEM seat) and I really want to go with the superbike tail and go the foam pad route

@hiimchad 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Brian! I got the front fairing and belly pan from a friend, but I bought the tail from Optimal Racing. Not sure if they’re still in business, but their site is still up: optimalracing.com/product/06-12-triumph-daytona-675-superbike-tail/

Hey dude. What angle did you go for on your clip ons? 5 or 10 degrees? Thanks.

Hey! They are 10 degrees. Probably should have included that in the video 😅

I am im the market for a 675r to track. Would you suggest the 2011-2012 or a 2013+ for a base starting point? I have the opportunity to snag a 2012 with 35k miles for 5000 but has a charging issue. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger as this is the lowest price inhabe seen on one in years...

@hiimchad Жыл бұрын

Hey Sammy! I would keep my eyes peeled for a 2013+ if I were you. A lot of improvements were made to make the bike handle better, and the engine makes more power (131 in 2013 vs 126 in 2012 if I recall correctly). 35k miles is on the high side for a bike to start seeing track duty imo, but it all depends on how well it was cared for. In my opinion, $5k would be an ok price if the bike was in great shape all around with that kind of mileage, but given the charging issue, I'd steer clear unless I was looking for a project. If I was, I'd be trying to buy it for somewhere around $3500. I recommend keeping your eyes peeled for a 2013+ that's already been converted for track use. They are rare, but I have seen a few in the $5-7k range with less than 18k miles. Have you joined any of the "track motorcycles for sale" groups on Facebook?

@@hiimchad thanks for the reply! I am gonna keep looking as the 2013+ or gen 3 is really what I had my eyes for originally. I am not on Facebook which makes groups like those haha.

@@sammybrown6730 As much as I dislike Facebook and Meta, I do find it worthwhile just for the Marketplace groups. I've seen some very appealing bikes in there over the years!

2013+ is superior in every way.
