I am interested as well...someone speak up please.
Excellent stuff. Thank you sir.The bike is currently a 520 conversion with stock gearing. I have purchased sprockets for -1 +2, and plan to install them this spring.
I think LDH has the best writeup on this, and is where I got my advice and direction.
I've done many track days, but next week will be my first on the CBR1k.Question for those who run around a track...just looking for a good starting point. Do you go -1 up front, and then take an assortment of rears with you to the track?...
Damn, is it that obvious??? :thefinger:There's no telling what JCR is running. He's loco
I'm planning to be out at HPR all day next Monday (4/20)... Weather permitting. Would love to see ya, and say hi. Look for an old guy, with a red 08, pitted next to a silver 05 Pathfinder.....but I wouldn't mind tagging along and watching a fellow 1kRR'er do some laps. Let me know when you plan on going and maybe we can meet up!
You've obviously never been to Spokane. The front straight is soooooo long, you can eat lunch and take a nap before braking for turn 1. On my Aprilia I ran 17-42 there. (At Thunderhill I ran 16-46)I have NO idea why anyone would want to run a 42 or a 43
Well if you are redlining in 6th gear, by all means--use higher gearing--BUT my point was, if you want the chain to fit--you better use a 16T in the front. Cory Call has been radared at T-Hill at 163mph on a GSXR1K at T-Hill, with a (-1/+2). So if you can redline a non-tractor I4 at T-Hill by all means run taller gearing--but you would be the first to exceed 165 down the straight and live.You've obviously never been to Spokane.

Holly cow... You could land a plane on that front straight.You've obviously never been to Spokane. The front straight is soooooo long, you can eat lunch and take a nap before braking for turn 1. On my Aprilia I ran 17-42 there. (At Thunderhill I ran 16-46)opcorn2:
I haven't been to Thill since I was a novice on the old pavement but got down to 2:02. I never really got the hang of that track for some reason. it just doesn't fit me.What kind of lap times were you running at T-Hill?
Cool, I'll try to make it out, also weather permitting.I'm planning to be out at HPR all day next Monday (4/20)... Weather permitting. Would love to see ya, and say hi. Look for an old guy, with a red 08, pitted next to a silver 05 Pathfinder.
