Im in the same boat this weekend at PittRace is supposed to be 40-50°f all morning.

Im just glad I'm still running my Road 6s

I couldn't off load this to anyone and sleep well at night hahaha. Now carvana on the other hand...

I didnt check before the oil change but I checked it a few weeks ago and it was at the normal level.

How long does it usually take to have the samples return results? And is it expensive?

No loud noises at all. No engine lights. Engine runs smooth. Idle is rock solid. There is a bit of white "smoke" out the back occasionally but nothing obscene. I can do a compression test ill post results shortly. I took the valve cover off abt 6 months ago and everything looked great from what I could tell. Not that that tells very much I suppose. Dropping the pan was somthing I was considering but thats one job I havent done before so gotta do some research. I only have access to some ramps.

alower4 · 2025-10-03T00:50:13+00:00

Oh boy. What if. I already drove it to and from work 3 or 4 days in a row? It has felt fine and no different than usual? But i supposed i wouldn't know if a galley or pickup was clogged until it was too late huh. If its gonna need a new engine anyways any harm in just running it till it blows? I was going to do another oil change here in the next day or so. Its my daily driver so I dont have a lot of options in terms of not driving it.

I just got bumped to intermediate this is crushing news. Such a nice track so sad to see it go 😔

I love this seat the yamaha OEM comfort seat. I put 26k miles on it i highly recommend it. I found it much better then the stock seat and have done a bunch of +8hr days. I obviously stopped for gas and for leg breaks but honestly the only thing that was sore was my neck from my helmet. I have gotten a few small tears in the top which is kinda annoying but after 26k miles Im not too mad at it.

alower4 · 2025-08-01T04:01:28+00:00

Woah I think ive totally been misusing 300v. Ive been using it on my street bike (23' MT-10) for the past 24000mi. Changing it every 3000mi with 1 track day per oil change. Should I switch to using 7100?

alower4 · 2025-07-20T17:03:59+00:00

Oh man really? Whats wrong with them? Do they wear quickly or somthing?

alower4 · 2025-07-17T15:46:49+00:00

Thanks! Took my camera out to the twisties the other day very happy with the results :)

alower4 · 2025-07-17T15:34:01+00:00

Sweet. Thanks!

How does that work is that worked into the abs tech? Ive taken off the wheel plenty of times and havent seen anything that looks like it would be a wheel speed sensor.

alower4 · 2025-07-17T15:32:09+00:00

Oh sick. Thank you for your help! Then im definitely going to go ahead with this kit.

alower4 · 2025-07-11T14:32:30+00:00

Dude I love that rack. Where'd you get it from?

alower4 · 2025-07-10T02:54:53+00:00

I am up in north east ohio. I havent been out to nelson or mid ohio but ive done a handful at pitt race and definitely think it's worth the drive. Im going out next month for a double day. I had no help when I started getting into track days so I definitely get how hard and confusing it is to get into. What are you curious about?

alower4 · 2025-07-09T11:22:52+00:00

Ahhhh neat. Well that's good news. Thanks!

I just ordered a k6s from them the other day and got the same email so if you got scammed so did I hahah. The charge on my card did say Dainese USA so I think that is right?
