much better tire-way more grip,and the grip doesn't go away as they wear out.

what's the difference besides exhaust and graphics?

yep-same problem-got better over time-also had to re-align a couple of times.used vortex pads,really aggressive.

can't believe any motorcyclist wouldn't want that option.been splitting traffic for 20 years here in ca without issues.15 mph over seems reasonable.

i had a couple of guys on liter bikes use me for a brake marker and run off the track.one guy came inside of me and couldn't make the corner- i thought i had nowhere to go-waited and waited and as soon as he went straight on i still made the corner.i was amazed and it let me know i could go way...

mine feels like it has a slipper also-backshifted at speed by mistake at the track -no hopping,bouncing or sliding-i have a 2016 also and i know it doesn't have one,but sure feels like it does.

me on big bike and lameness on ktm-rearsets for sure-get me up and over tank.

been on the track 3 times in the last month and i can't seem to get body position right on this bike.i'm used to wide tires on liter bikes with big lean angles and a lot of hanging off.the tank gets in my way with tucking in and moving around.at speed,with the narrow tires,and not much power,i...

had +10 and forks flush and was ok on the slower tracks-went to thunderhill,ca a very fast track and went down to +2 and forks flush,with a little more preload and bike was pretty happy.losing traction and accel in fast corners with +10.thanks to catalyst reaction suspension tuning.

ktm warrantied both upper fairings and the brake lever-i'm kinda surprised,but nice outcome.

here's dyno sheets

triples,clutch pressure plate and oil pump- i have 2 R3's and the recalls were handled very fast and i don't see any problems down the road.ran fine before the recall and they will be fine after.R3 needs a little work to be fun,needs the rear raised with a adjustable shock,front forks are decent...

i just did the same thing-R3-m4 full system,bmc filter,pcv,emission removal,block off plates, custom tune=40.44 and 20.88-RC390-stock pipe,pcv,k&n,airbox mod,custom tune=42.61 and 25.98.livemoto in livermore ca did the tuning.

i used the 320mm galfer kit,600 rbf,and vortex pads-which are the most aggressive pad i have ever used-very good on the track-thanks for the heads up on the frando m/c.

yeah- those are factory-close up they look pretty raw.
