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.
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.

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.
i was checking my bike for more cracks in the fairing(ktm north america is involved now) and missing bolts and i noticed my brake lever is bare metal and the casting looks like crap.somehow the black disappeared.lol. not a big deal,but wow.
wrenching on a R3 is a vacation-wrenching on a Rc390 is a nightmare lol,but i really like this bike.i have been pretty lucky with it also,fairings are cracking around the bolts from vibes,maybe dealer will handle that.did suspension and some engine tuning and really is a fun bike at the track.i...
the R6 is not the devils instrument of destruction,i'm sure you would do fine on one.i saw your post on barf and it will be a truly crappy commuter,but a great track bike.how much time will you spend on the track compared to all other riding?i did my first track day on the rc390 last monday and...
