Um yes, yes it is - unfortunately
Pretty sure yer jokin but here goes...
Why? Did my poor memory make me do something funny again?
The CuNT - 12.5:1 1397, 06 Forks with Racetech 1.1 springs and 10W oil, newer/low mileage stock shock (for now, I have a newer G1K shock that I'm going to put a heavier spring on), braided lines and recent HH front pads, Bridgestone 022 tires (I think) and I haven't messed with the damper (yet).
I had only ridden this bike about 300 miles before taking it on the track so my comfort level with the bike was not real high. This bike wants to kill me so I was not tryin to push ANY limits that day but had a great time getting to know the bike and the track.
Assuming the bikes driveability issues are resolved with the correct map (like I think it will) then I'd like to upgrade the front rotors and damper after I replace the shock - sucks bein on a budget.
I'm on a 1 bike budget so I'll do the best I can with what I've got - wasn't as bad on the track as I though it would be but I'm sure another liter bike would show me the error of my ways pretty quick on that matter.
Like so many other jobs, The Hayabusa is wonderful as a track day bike.
I'm sorry it's trying to kill you. I'm sure that once you've sorted out the mapping of those small throttle openings, it won't try to kill you anymore.
Good job on the fork and brake upgrades so far.
If you have not already pulled the counter-balancer, I would do so immediately, or at least the next time you have the pipe off. It's easy.
Save your money on the rotors- with today's brake pads, you can get really good performance with stock stainless rotors. I don't know which HH pads you're using, but if they are the regular "FA" EBC part number prefix and you still want more performance, try the "
GFA" kit race pads. You can even step up to the "
EPFA" or even the "
GPFA" HH pads, although EBC expresses concernc about using their most powerful pads (GPFA) on the street, simply because of their power.
Forget the steering damper- a worn-out 13 year old steering damper is perfect for a Hayabusa on the track.
You might mean the Bridgestone BT-002 or BT-002 Racing Street tires. What sizes are you using?
