VIR North Aug 20, 2012 "A" Group Vids. Probably boring to many, especially with some of the music added to them. If you're curious about how the BMW S1000RR traction control works in Rain Mode, check out Session 1 and you'll see the orange light blinking to the left of the tach indicating traction control is engaging. I only got 5 sessions on video since the GoPro batteries died.

Session 1: http://youtu.be/Y-DZqNZ7uM4 Wet track, slow, lonely, some sprinkles, blah, blah, blah....
Session 2: http://youtu.be/eUnQXoVWEcc Crash truck rolls when track is still hot at end of B group. Pitzer dancing on pit road.
Session 3: http://youtu.be/VLAk51wJsr8 Worked with a buddy of mine to see if I could help him pick up the pace with a few line suggestions.
Session 4: http://youtu.be/2bKLOliAnI0
Session 5: http://youtu.be/vkEo9UuEe8I

I did manage a few 1:38s and that was on Q2s in Race Mode. Never did go to Slick Mode since the Q2 was feeling greasy by lunchtime.

Strong work on Q2's man, thinking I'm glad the slicks didn't make it onto the beast later in the day.

wow, just looked at video two, thank goodness for a wet track. I could not imagine a dry day, coming out of the kink and seeing a Chevy 350 in my line of sight.

Castrol Power RS Racing 4T in 10W-40. You can pick it up at Advanced Auto (and maybe other auto parts stores) for about $9.50/qt. At AA's it's found on the small engine/motorcycle shelves near the wall of auto oil/fluids. They also sell the Mobil 1 Racing 4T for about $1 more.

I see by your video, you are still having shifting troubles :argh:

NOT GOOD....:banghead: B.Shell & I use the same Castrol oil .....:D

I thought you had changed to the same ???? I have had no troubles at all :) after the change..

Have you tried adjusting your shifting lever..... maybe to much play ...:dunno: ck it out.

i have, its sally shifting, and almost semi normal with the finicky Fraulein. She's fine. Lots of other BMW owners have the same issue, off and on. No worries, when i man up and shift right she acts right.

Mike, have you seen the HP4? Freaking bananas!

I figured, we could sell our kidneys and get it?

You sell two, ill sell one. Ill keep the bike and you can ride whenever you feel up to riding it?
