That was AWESOME! I love the commentary throughout. LMAO!
It's on in July. I know who my rabbits are gonna be to work on my times with the new 750
If I can do 18's on that 'ole 600, the 750 should see my times drop a little. Of course, I already learned my brake markers for the old bike DO NOT work well for the 750. Nothing like coming into T-1 with a stoppie and realizing the slipper clutch only works when the rear tire is actually touching the track. :wow:

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement everyone.
Big thanks to all the CR's who have helped me develop as a rider.
Jim really added flavor to the vid with his commentary. (love it)
Now the other Jim, what has been done to the 750 you have? These bikes really benefit from some geometry changes. 8mm shim on top of the rear shock and at least get the fork tubes flush if you don't have fork cap extenders. My bike wouldn't turn worth a dam till I got the right springs in it for my size (think fat guy springs) but now we are close. What gearing are you running? I'm 15/48 but might go 47, we will see. I also know of a modification you can do to make the slipper clutch slip more/less engine braking.

Here's what I know so far:
1. Engine built by Joe at Turn One Racing and had 136-HP at the rear wheel (i think at the wheel).
- All I know is that is goes under the flagstand at BHF at around 140mph
2. Suspension is a Penske Triple on the rear, and Penske internals in the forks.
3. Brembo M/C.
4. PC-III and a Dynojet Quick Shifter - Tuned by Joe.
5. Complete suspension refreshed, and re-sprung for my weight, sag was set, and damping tuned. All by Joe at Turn One Racing.
6. Gearing: Not sure, but I know the rear sprocket is a 47. I haven't checked the front yet.
*** Pattern here: Joe at Turn One Racing.
It's a very well sorted bike that used to belong to "baldscott" on here.

You have a great set up. Pretty much what I have but the suspenders are a different brand. (still prolly better than I'll ever be)stkr;195865 wrote: Here's what I know so far:

I got the geometry set up from Robbie Jensen (2009 600cc lap record holder @ BHF)
Remember the speedo will be off a lot cause of the gearing changes. You will have to move your brake markers back till you get comfortable with the bike.

I hear ya. When I got the bike I it came with 15/48 and I felt the same way, too much shifting. So I went to 15/45 and liked it. This spring I decided to give the 48 another try since it came so highly recommended by the previous owner. I got the bike from Johnny LaConte and he was 4+ seconds faster than me so I thought there might be something to this shifting thing.:dunno:

i was 15/45 and i had to make an extra shift here & there, i'll prob go back to my 44 for the 2/3 of july
nice riding ed, you passed me a couple times & i tried to keep up but you pull on me through 4 & 5 and then again in 7 (i'm a puss in 7 for some reason) but its gonna be fun to chase you more and more, hell its gonna be fun to chase EVERYONE, just chasing a few guys i was down in the 16's in no time, so needless to say i'm pretty anxious
