Re: VTR track bike conversion

Hi Tony, the traction control only works by modulating torque to the rear wheel, throttle opening and ignition timing. On a closed throttle it can't have any effect at all and on a neutral throttle the effect is negligible, the forces on the tyre are mainly lateral. That's why mine went down coastin...

Re: VTR track bike conversion

Just seen this thread. Great to see you are giving the old girl some love. (Colour non-coded wires due to having only red in the required size, and I'm lazy). New tyres can be amazingly slippery. Having fitted a new rear to my V4 a week previously, not ridden the bike and forgotten about it, I went...

Re: lot of craftsmanship but still not sure about it

Re: that dread realization

My body is old and buggered. Put me on a Fireblade and I need to be lifted off after 20 miles (too crunched forward). I can sit on WellGroomed KTM adv for less than 5 miles before my back is screaming due to the upright posture. Give me something where I can lean into the wind but still have reasona...
