    Dunlop Alpha 13`s

    Interesting take. What's confusing to me is that Dunlop kinda markets this tires and street and race tire whereas Pirelli with supercorsa and Dunlop Ntecs are specifically marketed as race only. So I'm curious how street riders will fare. I'm using my stock corsa ii's for street and track and...

    Dunlop Alpha 13`s

    Your running alpha 13's for the street? I thought these are race tires that work only when up to correct operating temperature. On Dunlop's website it sounds like street riding is ok. Dunlop Racing » Alpha 13 I'd be curious how you like them for the street. I assume you will also track them...

    Master Cylinders -- A Comparison of Appropriate Application

    I'm running accossato master cylinder 16x16. The sales rep recommended 16x16 instead of 16x18 because our bikes are 2 piston. Brake lever felt too mushy so I removed ABS, added stainless lines and changed to vesrah sintered pads and now brakes are amazing! One finger braking but I still get...

    Nearly 1 season racing, how does RC compare to rivals?

    Thanks DC, do you ride the RC any differently than the ninja? I found ergos to be so different b/w both

    Nearly 1 season racing, how does RC compare to rivals?

    Interested to hear from racers how RC fares to competition in terms of power, handling, and fun factor. Surely, lots of you racers were previously racing either a ninja or Honda. Ninjas seem to own the grid, R3 is very new and Honda is underpowered. My Rc is stock and I'm contemplating putting...

    Lost that lovin feelin? Down in lap speed.

    Hey Ryan, what do you think you are missing in terms of meeting/beating your old laptime? What bike did you have previously? Sounds like you have great parts and maybe you just need more time to get the suspension, chassis and tire all working together. Surely you'll get there soon as this is...

    CMRA Round 6 Race Report

    Great report! Pretty impressive that you beat your ninja time so quickly with only rear shock. Yes definitely remove ABS and add good pads ( i was able to fit vesrahs to mine)

    My RC390 jumping out of gear on WOT

    I did another trackday yesterday which was a proper sized course and about a dozen times over course of day my bike with jump out of 4th gear under WOT. This is highly annoying and sort of unpredictable. Trouble is I can't replicate it on the street so if I take it back to the dealer I don't...

    Solperformance

    Thanks Lee I assume you mean ultimate grip is better with pirelli's. How about wear and warm up time?

    Solperformance

    Sorry for going off topic but anyone compare v2's to alpha 13's? Dunlops are $240 a set which is significantly cheaper than pirellis

    Finally Ready For Some Racing

    Congrats DC! And you don't look like a light weight either so you must be riding the wheels off. Is the stock suspension limiting you? Especially with the added grip from supercorsas.

    Using Kawi 636 front brake master cylinder for RC390?

    I don't like the brake feel from the stock RC master cylinder. I have a spare master cylinder from my Kawi 636 which works well with that bike. Since the RC has 1 rotor/caliper I don't think it would work correctly on the RC. Can any confirm this? Thanks!

    Coolant catch can needed for trackdays?

    Thanks for response. Yeah I would hate to do down because of coolant. I did the same on the supermoto bike so certainly the RC needs one if you have street belly pan

    GSG Skiders from via Wild Hair Accessories

    Thanks for review. Do you have any pictures showing entire bike? Sliders stick out quite a bit which is good for protection. Side note, looks like you have your over flow coolant hose routed to the back of the bike. Do you have a catch can?

    Looks fantastic! Interested to know your part list. Rear sets look very nice. Have you done suspension work?

    Coolant catch can needed for trackdays?

    I have a track day later this week and was going to ride my bike as is (stock). Wondering if anyone is putting a catch can at the end of the coolant hose (the one that dumps out the bottom of the bike). As most know the belly pan isn't sealed so I want to prevent any coolant from getting on the...

    First service Issues 6+ hours and $370 wtf???

    For those that did the 1st service how many needed valve adjusting? Sounds to me that this is most critical part for diy ers. Speaking for myself I am comfortable with all of the first service checklist except valve adjustment.
