$1,200 isn't bad. Does it have good tires?

That stuff is crazy how hard your leg sticks to it.

Does that stuff really make a difference?

I've been considering getting some stompgrip for a while, which does the same thing but I'm not 100% sure it's worth it.

alex.s · March 4th, 2015, 03:16 PM

i was never a fan of stompgrip. kinda hurts. i like other griptape better

Nice bike. My first trackbike was a 2000 R6. Great bikes and very good price.

Jono · March 4th, 2015, 05:56 PM

Nice ride!

$1200 is pretty dang good. Congrats.

My favorite year R6. These things are great. Congrats & enjoy!

Your a tad crossed up, but not much more than some I commonly see at track days. Keep at it, it's got nowhere to go but up.

Sirref · March 9th, 2015, 12:10 PM

why would you not have sliders on if you're going for knee down though?

I got to fat for my track pants

Need to get new ones.

Sirref · March 9th, 2015, 12:19 PM

you know...salads are cheaper

or in my case swapping meals for protein shakes, which ends up saving money too!

duct tape - the pre-kneepuck puck

fishdip · March 9th, 2015, 01:26 PM

It was really hard to get the knee down as I was fighting the front as it was trying to tuck in. I notice its far harder to lean so far at slower speeds.

hhahahahaha

Tip: Yellow duct tape will show every little touch.

So why is it I can hit the edge of the tire on the left turn but not even close going right?
So the right side is tore up from the last owner. As you can see I can clean off the left side but the right I still have a half inch

Sirref · March 9th, 2015, 02:49 PM

I had the same problem, then I realized that I had only ever practiced my bp stationary on the left side since that's where the kickstand is. After practicing my right side bp by using a rear-stand I felt a lot more comfortable on that side. That said I still can't get the bar grip right on the right side since my hand naturally wants to stay farther up on the bar so I can twist the throttle more naturally. This causes me to twist my wrist awkwardly and makes my right hand corners worse than my lefts. Still need to iron that habit out, did it on the 250 but it came back on the gsxr.

naturally it could be something else entirely but this is why I experienced the same issue.

I have never practiced stationary I shall try this. I have never even crashed leaning right.

well if you're using the same technique and leaning less on the right then that makes sense that you would only crash on the left. Because you're taking a higher degree of risk on the left if that is the case.

lean = risk. The more lean, the more precise you have to be.
