my new track/road tool

rattyzx6 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:33:31 GMT

i can finally put up some pics of my new track tool. I had to sell my old B1h due to gearbox issues but managed to find a mint 2010 with 2000 miles on. It now has a slip on can, mid pipe, rearsets, MWR air filter and PCV and integrated rear light/indicators. The number plate bracket bolts off in 30 secs.

Dyno'd at 118hp and ready for the track (got 3 days at Jerez coming up)

Still with stock bodywork at it is still my road bike as well

Hello everyone! I just purchased my first sportbike a couple of days ago. It is a 1995 and it runs flawlessly. My other motorcycle is a Honda Shadow 750 cruiser,which is my first motorcycle. The ZX6r came exactly as pictured. I know I know, too many stickers! They will come off tomorrow.

2007 Daytona vs 2010 r6 vs 2006 zx636r

mounty50 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:51:39 GMT

My cousin has a 2010 yamaha r6 with PC5, Full yoshi exhaust and K&N air filter

I have a Stock 2007 Daytona 675, thought i would go ahead and give my comparo of daytona vs 06 636 also in here

I weight 230, and he weighs 225 so were pretty close to eliminate a lot of discrepancy there

we did a rolling 3rd gear pull starting at about 45mph and he pulled away initially his rear a little past my front and then i started creeping back up on him and we let off

he cant really launch so i just say we'll do an idle rolling launch. we both take off at about 5mph and i immediately start pulling away, theres that torque!! and i kept that lead on him the whole time by about 2 bike lengths up until about 120mph where we let off.

ALL OF THIS PERFORMED ON A CLOSED COURSE***BY PROFESSIONAL RIDERS

or some shit like that

And to compare the kawi vs. daytona

I LOVED MY KAWI, thought it was the sweetest most badass bike I had ridden

Then after hopping on the daytona, the 675 is much more narrow, def much lighter up top, a little more flickable through switchbacks and the front end is lighter. i thought i could ride a decent wheelie on the kawi, but the daytona just floats endlessly, and i absolutely love it.

I was nervous that i would miss the kawi too much but i hopped back on it after the daytona and it seemed sluggish and not as smooth on the low end.

Daytona is a very smooth ride, but rides on a cardboard seat so it does wear your ass out pretty quick, but a gel seat is in the works to rectify that issue
Kawi is def more comfortable for all day riding

The kawi still has that killer top end and puts the horsepower down and will still most likely beat the daytona in a straight line

But mainly rider skill dictates who wins the 600 battles and shift timing and quickness so its anybody's guess....but both my bikes beat the r6 :devious

anyways, im still love this forum, triumph forum sucks kinda, not nearly as interesting

and parts are way more expensive

that is all

Gsxr squid attack!!!!

mounty50 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:35:34 GMT

So this past weekend I had gotten the Daytona registered and insured and was ready to take it out and my buddy from class was telling me he just bought a 2011 zuk 750 and he was gonna ride with a couple friends early in the morning.

Sure why not

So i get there and meet him up and were waiting on the other guys

2 more 2011 750's roll up one being identical to another

ALL 3 had there dealer tags on and one guy with an old ass yzf600 single headlight,banana seat

Im thinking...........:headbang:

as were talking and meeting each other I find out 3 of them are cops

Now im thinking.......:hail:

So i took em out to a local twisty ish road that cuts through some marshes got a nice gap between them but not too big so they didnt lose me, it was my first time gettin on the daytona hard also, so i wanted to ease into it

we get to a gas station and one guy motions me to come over...

Squid:"Hey man, how do i put gas in this thing?"
Me: :plain:
So i kinda showed him, and explained all the tips and keeping gas from getting on your paint and everything

Come to find out, he had also melted his headlight lens cover by putting his jacket over the front cowl while he was warming it up the day before and has to pay $400 bucks for a new assembly on a brand new bike
Granted, i didnt know the bulbs got that damn hot, but idk, seemed kinda silly blocking off the air intakes also

All in all, turned out to be cool guys, and i also got a chance to find out that the daytona is a wheelie monster simply because of those extra couple of pounds of low end torque :smilie:

Kazoo6942 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:33:47 GMT

well im getting rid of my fog light for headlight and putting stock ones back in. Found some headlights on craigslist for a good price. Im confused what should i do as far as mounting them. i have hot bodies race fairings on bike now and there are no mounting brackets which isnt a big deal i can fabricate those. But i would have to cut the holes out and im worried of chipping paint plus i have a hole dead center of fairing that i would have to fill or fiberglass. seems like alot of work....so i was thinking of buying new lowers and a upper then they have to be painted.....or i can buy a set i found online its the same elf green paint scheme my bike has now they are from china hong kong i dunno. ive heard they are hit and miss any suggestions on what to do. posted some pics of bike almost naked and headlight.

Paint!!

AgentOrange — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:29:30 GMT

In the next week I am going to be painting my tank. I found a guy to media blast it and i was wondering paint wise what i should do next? I guess right after I get it back from media blasting I should prime it? This would be my first paint job so its going to be from rattle can. I want to have my tank like the color of the tank on this bike (im making my zx6r into sort of a cafe racer) with a black racing stripe down the middle. Should i do a base coat in black and then do the rest in the color i want? Need some help anything would be greatly appreciated!

LED underglow placement?!

Hey I was just posting wondering when you guys placed your underglow lights on your bikes. I have a 2005 ZX 6R and just ordered an 8 pc set. So where is the best places to put them? Thanks!

I guess it would be easiest for everyone to "scroll through" and compare if we put the stats first (on the very top line) & then add driving record below that :)

I have 2 dui's for driving under the influence of drugs (one is like 7 yrs. Old and one like 10 yrs old)

I have a 101 mph speeding ticket (really old approx 15 yrs.) and a 108 mph speeding ticket not quite as old but old (like 6 or 7 years ago?) and then i have several other speeding tickets , over the years but nothing major like just mentioned...

I also have an accident from like 6 or 7 yrs ago ...

And i got several no operator license , no proof of insuranace , driving under suspension failure to yeild , etc. tickets

AWESOME news. went in to my local bike shop here. and they had given me an offer i could not refuse.

Trading in my 07zx6r 12,500 miles

getting a 2009 ZX10-r 7.25k miles.

They had offered a trade for my bike for 5,500!! which seems so unreal seeing it probably exceedes the value of the bike.

So pumped for this new ride, but still kinda sad to see my first bike go.
any opinnions? paying 9k for the zx10 ITS ORANGE!

It's official!

MG815 — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:50:21 GMT

Bike is out of storage! About 55* here in the North East today and it's my week off, no way in hell I wasn't gonna go ride. Can't believe I got to pull the bike out in the middle of February, it was so good to ride again!

PCV set up using engine temp or throttle position?

I have no idea. The gray wire in the PCV harness won't even reach the speed sensor wire. Does someone know what to do?

Can this gas tank dent be pulled?

Lobster — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:14:40 GMT

Got all my parts on order and when all was said and done, I can't afford the 200 dollars for a new tank. My old one does not leak but it has a giant dent in it.

I googled my options. Many said just throw it out. Some said it was possible to take a small hammer to the inside of it.

I was thinking about taking a hammer to it and getting the dent out the best I can and then sanding it down with filler primer then painting it to match my new fairings.

I've also seen vinyl wraps. Since my new fairings are gloss white, I'm thinking of vinyl wrapping the tank. Any one ever deal with vinyl wraps?

Am I wasting my time? Anyone have experience with stuff like this?

Which bike would make the best track bike

Gav179 — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:04:00 GMT

Basically im looking at buying a ZX6R for turning into a track bike, ive seen a few already but im unsure which to buy. i bought my 2010 ZX6R to use has a road/track bike but now ive fitted lots of goodies and spent a small fortune im not happy about taking it to the track in case i bend it, so would you go for;

90's ZX6 - cheap to buy but more than likely high milage and poor reliability due to milage

2000 ZX6 - bit more expensive to buy still has conventional forks

2002 ZX636 as above

2003-2005 ZX636R awsome power light and nimble, upside down forks, but they hold there money so the newer bike isnt out of reach

2005-2006 seems like a bargain as can be bought for same money as the older bike but the engine power is alittle down on the older bike

2007 - 2008 still quite expensive for just hooning around the track on

2009- the best yet for power and handling, showa BP forks and alot of money if its bent beyond repair

would the cheapest option be the best for track days or should i stop being tight and buy a newer bike, what do you guys think?:O
