A Day at the cornering Class

Well i spent a day a a closed circuit class on friday. had a blast with the 650. I learned alot of good things but also i have alot of work to do to the bike before next months course. I need to make ajustable/moveable rear set. i also need t omake them folding. i need to replace front fort oil with 15W to make it little stiffer. but all in all was a blast only hvae about 1/2 of outer tirer left to run on...

 

Sounds like a blast! I scraped a peg for the first time yesterday lol!

 

Y is your break lever hanging down so far

 

I agree Po...looks like a fulcrum waiting to happen. I'm surprised that no one there noticed that since the older guys tend to look out for the newer track riders. As far as your tires goes.....just the cost of good fun....you can pickup a mesh riding jacket with armoured inserts used for 50 bucks and you'll appreciate it if you ever have to land on a shoulder...

Looks like a cool time.....have fun...and get/be safe!!

They are hanging down low because i have never thought about them scrapping. I just had them adjusted to that point but i have to make corrections to the setup. i have make ajustable plates. I can now made the corrections to the layout and how they hang and are positioned.

 

I used to think that I would never scrape things either... But it does happen and if you freak out because of it, you could wind up on your back side. That brake pedal is hanging too far down. Just curious but are the two dots on the brake pedal and spline aligned?

 

the pedal end is below and the pedal itself is above. but with the new mounts that are almost done they will be in more and up.

 

Yeah, holy low brake pedal :O

Mind shooting a side picture of where its positioned? Maybe it just seems that ay/weird camera angle?

 

there is the side shot

 

strange, it looks a ton lower from the other picture angle. However if its that close to hitting the ground when you're turning and not actually the picture, i would raise it up more personally.

 

Where dd you get your rear sets are they a kit or are the stock off something else

 

attended another day at the course on friday. I make a few changes since last time and love the out come. i could have drug my knee but would have hurt with just jeans on. came very close a few time i could feel the asphalt nicking my knee. but here are some picture of me in friday.

 

here is the picture of the new rear set configuration. they work great scrapped a few times.

 

here for the question of where i got them... the link to the post of my design and set up. http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=39203.html
