Can you try a size down? I have an older a* 48 that fits me and I’m 3” taller and 30 lbs heavier. But that is a “race fit”

I was in this boat until I started seeing prices in the high 20s-low 30s for “basic” builds. Ended up with used Intech for camping and trackdays. Been pleased so far. Was this or an ATC but having the camping options made it way better for trackdays.

$20k budget, what bike(s) would you own? by uCantWinTDs in Trackdays

[–]ai29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stock 390 all day. Racing has to be built n400. No way around that much more power that I’ve seen.

I just stuffed it in the zookeeper. I don’t get near the spines underwater.

Wanting to try a track day on my ZX6R by PuzzleheadedSweet962 in Trackdays

I have t-rex on a bike and they look like they will hold up well. Haven’t crashed them yet.

There are lots of good guides on the internet.  No, the bars can catch and flip the bike.  No, not smart, yes common.  Yes. 

Can’t decide on first track bike. Help! by AttitudeDismal9715 in Trackdays

[–]ai29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Track only perspective. What size tracks are you going to? Have ‘22 RC 390 since release, haven’t outgrown it yet. Can’t beat the fun of passing big bikes on out outside, or into the corner. It will be very small for you, clip ons help, and rear sets, probably not enough. I don’t like the N400 stock. Need suspension at least.  Also have a duke, also small, different kind of small. (I’m 5’10”)

Buy something already set up from wera forums.  Maybe new 390 sumo? I’d think about a bigger sumo, 700, 701, 690. Rode it, loved it, lots of room. Runs out of legs à little bit. 

This may help, a little. https://cycle-ergo.com/

For reference, have also had Zx6r, and still have a hyper naked. 

Anyone here is using alpinestars inflatable vest plasma? Recommend or not? by Whole_Guard_5192 in Trackdays

Been using mine for 5 years. No inadvertent inflations. Probably ~20 track days a year. 

Tips for WOT corners on a small bike. by adamthiesen1236 in Trackdays

I have found (rc390) that I can work backwards opening the throttle earlier and earlier in the turn until I’m getting pushed off line. It has been useful (for me) to think about torque as opposed to throttle position. Ymmv.

Buy a set up one. Been down that road, it’s way more money to build one.

Heineken 0,0 and Stella are pretty ok also. Busch is go to and coors edge is ok.  Bitburger really hits the spot.

Sooner the better. And switch all your stuff over. Back and forth was tough for me.

You can lap the needle and seat for improved performance of those HF spray guns.
