    NEW LEATHER SUIT

    I have an Alpinestars "Tech Air 5," the precursor to the "7," I believe. It is a "race" only vest. It comes with two charge canisters installed. Unfortunately, I have experienced it's qualities in both an "inflation" event, and a non "inflation event. Both, at PittRace, one of my two...

    2011 zx6r coolant leak I NEED Help

    BMW S1000RR with plastic reservoir and rubber cap. I had a slight leak that showed no apparent source, but the pink residue and a slowly decreasing reservoir kept me looking. It turned out to be the cap on the reservoir. I put a dab of silicone grease on the rubber cap, and no more leaking.

    16' Enclosed Trailer Build Ideas

    Your plywood walls appear a TON more structural than the flimsy wall covering in the aluminum trailer I have.

    16' Enclosed Trailer Build Ideas

    Sorry to mislead you. The wall studs are aluminum, and the wall sheathing looks to be ⅛" or a little less thickness plywood or some other lightweight and not very strong material. I plan to pull a panel just to see what it really is. The ceiling doesn't have any covering. If you happen to get...

    16' Enclosed Trailer Build Ideas

    Perfect timing for a "trailer build idea" thread! I recently picked up an all aluminum 8.5 x 16 CargoPro(Stealth) car hauler. I did install the Pit Bulls to go to Barber, then failed to take our rain tires...... I added plywood under the floor, and plan to redo with Pit Bull plates...

    2017 BMW S1000RR "Clip-On" question...

    Gotchya! Thanks for the info. I already ordered a "new" oem set on ebay. I think I will get some aftermarket clip-ons over the winter. Any recommendations are most welcome. Last year, I had a problem with my engine cutting out for no apparent reason.... Long story short; bought a GS-911...

    Lapse in judgement, but the sequence of pics Michael got of me are "PRICELESS!"

    2017 BMW S1000RR "Clip-On" question...

    Thank you sir! On the BMW, I have to drill through the entire bar. I'm replacing with OEM this time..... I need a drill press and will get to it after Barber in November!

    Advanced Group Coolants

    During "tech" past weekend, we were discussing coolant. I am using Maxima Cool-Aide Racing Coolant. I was pretty sure, and have confirmed that it is now 100% glycol free. Here is the link to their product on STG. https://www.sportbiketrackgear.com/maxima-cool-aide-racing-coolant/

    2017 BMW S1000RR "Clip-On" question...

    Due to a lapse in judgement, I am looking to replace my OEM handlebars with "clip-on" bars. Does anyone know if the aftermarket clip-ons will come with "pre-drilled" holes that secure both the OEM throttle/switch assembly on the right, and the OEM combination switch assembly on the left? I saw...

    PittRace "Red Flags" and the kink, questions?

    Then that chicane just might not be the answer.....

    PittRace "Red Flags" and the kink, questions?

    I also made a pass beyond T15 on that "nasty" day after thinking I was going to get it done earlier.... I chastised myself and left the track for the remainder of that session. Cameras, expulsion, flogging, etc I don't believe are the answers. We all "know" we are not racing, but we all know...

    How to find the best rear set location?

    Makes no sense whatsoever! I guess they just don't want a thief to get hurt should they decide to steal your bike.....

    How to find the best rear set location?

    I just looked at your photo. I think I might have adjusted the "travel rods" that extend from the "quick shifter" actuator. I don't think I would change the position of the actuator shaft on the splines....... On second thought, I just went and looked at my bike. It appears that the shifting...

    How to find the best rear set location?

    My bike is a 2017, so your RR might be different. Right out of the Rider Manual. I don't recall, but it appears that there was no adjustment necessary. I am only speaking of the RR, no knowledge of the XR. Hope this helps.

    How to find the best rear set location?

    It will take a little brain adjustment, but, the ECU will help you!

    How to find the best rear set location?

    Very easy to switch to GP. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! That could very well be your issue. I don't really think it is the location of the shifter or your boot. I always thought I had to have my foot exactly "there" to up shift, and only this past weekend realized that just wasn't true.....:)
