Very nice riding! Did you have the original sizes of front and rear sprocket? I see all corners until to the chicane are in gear 2, is that good to ride or little bit too aggressive? I ask because I am in Almeria in two weeks and i consider to change the translation of the sprockets, that maybe I can go into gear 3 in that corners...
+Erdnuckel9551 Hi, Bike is totally standard 2015 model so yes the bike has the original sprockets. Im not sure how many teeth are on the front sprocket standard but the rear is 45teeth. (2011 bikes had 44teeth standard) You could use 3rd gear instead but you won't get as good acceleration between corners, and ultimately you won't go as fast. I don't find it too aggressive in 2nd, The traction control will save you if you do give it too much of a handful! have fun there, its great.
People tend to call it quite a technical track. Its got a nice long back straight so ideal for 1000cc bikes. Theres no tarmac run of so keep it on the black stuff! The 3 right handers which make up turn 4/5/6 are a bit tricky. don't go wide there otherwise your in a bit of trouble! A standard BMW (any year, I've also got a 2011 and could pretty much do the same time on that one) is more than capable. my bike is straight out the showroom, I only took of the mirrors and fitted slicks. I'm not a racer but I know 1.43 is pretty good, so just enjoy yourself. The amount of people I hear in pits going on about suspension and tyres, gearing etc. 99.9% of the time its the rider that determines the lap time!! Have fun bud
Yes that's the same thing I 've heard. In some corners its important to take the right line but on the whole, a very cool liquid racetrack. On the play station my time is already acceptable , we will see how the reality is ^^. Yes its good to recognize that your bike is still standard , even with the standard fairing. 1:43 is very fast in Almeria as I have seen , the most important to be able to drive fast is the driver ;) For last season I had also the 2011 model with only standard configurations and could go good times . Do you have also the DDC suspension on the 2015 model ? If so, what are your experiences with it on the race track ?
Nice, tht was quick. I rode Almeria on an RR for the first time a few weeks ago. Interesting to see you do most of it in second. Why not turn off the ABS?
Kite twat Hi, to trigger the ABS you have to be braking extremely hard and it will probably only come on if the rear wheel goes in the air whilst braking, it's not hindering me at all so no reason to turn it off in my opinion, with it still on its still there If for some reason slam the brake too hard and would of locked it up without ABS. Highly unlikely on a dry track, but as I say why turn it off if its not interfering with the riding etc.
+Irwan E1 Hi, i used it with a mount that goes into the headstock, so it does turn slightly when the bars are turned, although pretty much unnoticable. I did mount it on the tank as well and the results are very similar.
