I got a brand new 2024 GSXR-1000R a couple of days ago. I'm at 200 miles and the bike is heating up to 223 degrees within 15 minutes of riding. Anybody running into that issue?
No suzukis heat up high before those fans kick on. They always heated up that much since way back when. When you get the ecu flashed or the bike tuned you can have them turn the fans on earlier so it isnt so hot under you
the guy in his 60's had lived life , ticked off most the 'to do' boxes and now ,and has the luxury of thinking 'if I die so be it'. The kick box and business guys were scared to be incapacitated bcoz thay hadn't lived enough yet to have that fearless disregard for death.
Interesting perspective but in my decades of riding on circuit, nobody wants it to go badly, rather some are not aware of the likely result of their actions. Vale said he wasn't thinking about the current corner but the next one. Knowing what's likely to happen and why provides the ability to be ahead of reality and so be safe. PS older guys know that they don't bounce like kids..
Hola muy buenas, tengo una moto sin embrague anti rebote, ni quickshifter, y tengo un poco la duda de cómo hacer correctamente las reducciones de marchas en una frenada fuerte, ya que me resulta bastante complicado estar frenando fuerte y al mismo tiempo dar los golpes de gas. Me puedes informar un poco al respecto ? un saludo.
One of the most naturally talented racers ever. Would have loved to have seen a young Freddie racing against the likes of Rossi, Stoner, M Marquez at a similar age.
I do this and it works brilliantly. Far safer than trail braking when road riding. With the state of the roads these days if you hit poor tarmac with the bike leaning and brake applied the front can skip of the bump possibly locking up the front for a fraction possibly giving you all sorts of problems.
Obviously this is all good for advice on track as you are going through the same bends over and over and over allowing time for perfection and reflection but not for the street or canyons etc where you are arriving at an unknown bend time after time If you are in canyons etc and using only engine braking on the way in, the chances of getting it wrong are HIGH !!! And once you’re in …. Your in !!
My brother and i snuck into the start finish straight grand stand. Was one of the best days and nights i have had, walking up and down the traffic jam after the race talking to everyone, sneaking beers at 15 yrs old. Memories. Very sad a police officer lost his life on traffic control that night.
El culo atrás es para salir de curva con el peso en la rueda trasera,más Apollo más tracción,en mi parecer y para la entrada en curva estás también más tumbado encima de la moto para sacar cuerpo hacia la curva,si no quieres hacer esfuerzos en la frenada comprate una gs
2024 I looked this up for some inspiration. I know that only the most gifted can throw a bike around like John. He is a legend, as is Casey and Valentino. 🤙🤙🤙 Cheers from Australia
Good advice for preparing for the track. Because of the traction circle, right? You said sth about the contact patch but isn’t it more about the centrifugal force?
Who doesn't like Neil. Top top bloke and I'd love nothing more to get some instruction from either Simon or Neil. Probably more likely Neil being in the UK. Will look at this in 2024!
I was there at the fence on the last bend before the finish straight. Incredible race. When the crowds finally left the circuit, the locals were waving and cheering everybody as we past their houses on the way home.
So whenever rear tire looses grip while entering the corner you push clutch lever slightly and hold it there until rear tire comes back. When it does comeback you release clutch fully and focus on trail braking? Did i get ir right? Btw what do you do with throttle while slipping the clutch? Cheers
Thank you, sir, for the most complete guide I've found anywhere. Despite I couldn't follow all the advice due to technical shortcomings, I've been able to raise from the top of the bottom third of the pack to a comfortable half in my first two days ever on that incredibly rewarding track. Having a clear visual and meaningful explanation, I was able to mentally repeat most of it when I was doing -- improving session by session sometimes more than one second. I was some 3 seconds faster than people who usually outperform me by nearly the same gap.
