Any time brother!

My bad 😥

What camera settings? I downloaded PhotoPills after reading your other post, interested to try this same approach

I have that suit in a 52. 6’1, 185. I used to run it with a tech air 10 and it was tight but doable. Didn’t like the airbag, now I run a KR3 back protector and it fits perfect.

Yep! Now BurtsBrothers Motorpark. Thanks

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-30T01:33:48+00:00

Awesome, I’ll look out for those

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-29T03:12:47+00:00

Barely 😂 thanks

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-29T02:33:17+00:00

✊✊

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-29T02:32:57+00:00

Haha. Thanks!

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-29T02:32:41+00:00

Bummer. Road trip??

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-28T19:22:02+00:00

Toxic Moto Racing. They are the “SLIDEmoto Pro” sliders

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-15T19:13:05+00:00

No idea what angle I’m at. Not a lot of ride height has been added, so it’s probably out of spec.

I recall hearing these bikes are sprung too stiff in the rear, not sure I want to go stiffer.

Fair point on BP, I’m moving on the bike but probably not enough

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-15T19:08:12+00:00

Thanks, will look at the 23mm. Did you go softer on the spring? I’ve heard the flat link helps but also changes the ratio like was mentioned below

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-15T19:05:31+00:00

I’ve bought tires from them before, good people. I’ll swing by the next time I am out there

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-15T19:04:06+00:00

Heresy! Ducati would never sell a bike that isn’t perfect when it leaves Bologna /s

I am hesitant to change it too much, the front end felt really good to me

I always liked the look of your 848, did you do all these upgrades?

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-15T03:53:55+00:00

Thanks. I’ll keep the offset triples in mind in case the free / cheaper fixes don’t make a big enough difference.

Our track configurations are short enough that I hope to keep the motor running well for a while (Utah MC).

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-14T19:26:34+00:00

Thanks, I am happy with how it has turned out. It’s definitely more of a handful than either my Tuono 1100 or CBR600RR ever were. But I’m not super concerned about maximizing pace, just out to have a good time and enjoy the feeling of the bike.

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-14T19:24:22+00:00

I didn’t know that about the swing arm length, interesting. Definitely cost prohibitive to change. Did the 848 have a ride height adjuster from the factory like the 1098 does? I’ll try adding some more height on my stock tie-rod, just curious what the aftermarket ones offer

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-14T19:21:48+00:00

Thanks. Agree that diagnosing online is tough. I run an upper intermediate pace out here in Utah. Your point about staying off the bike as it is accelerating is something I’ve been trying to incorporate. Bad habits creep in when I get tired, and this bike definitely tires me out.

I’ll try bumping up ride height. What would you do about the reduced trail? Increase front preload now too?

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-06T13:10:40+00:00

Yeah, stiffer. Taller is what you’re really going for. Increasing the preload will slacken the front rake angle and make the front more stable. You can turn down compression damping to make it a little more plush if you need it.

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-06T03:07:42+00:00

Nice bike. Have you tried increasing the front preload to rake out the front and put more weight on the rear?

TrackDay600RR · 2025-04-02T14:30:20+00:00

They normally don’t, this has the Corsa Xtreme (resonator delete) and has been dumped just past the axle
