I've been busy....
Actually, I didn't bookmark the forum link and couldn't find it until tonight.
The track day went well, lots of fun but wayyyy too much torque in the low end to accelerate out of the turns. It was very easy spinning up the rear wheel. I had to wait until I was completely out of the turn to get on the throttle. There was alot of "oh sh*t going on for the first few laps. Brakes and suspension was pretty good for a heavy pig. After tweaking the stock setup on the suspension it handled very nicely.
I'm 185 with gear on and the front end seemed too stiff even after letting out the rebound to the lowest setting and I had the drop my rear preload nearly 50%. Suzuki must've set the stock suspenison up for big heavy dudes out of the factory
I started to have more fun coming out of the corners after putting it in "B" mode, although the rear end still wanted to get away but not as bad as in the "A" mode.
I'm going back to the track next Monday, but I'll be taking my 07 CBR600RR and 06 GSXR100 out this time.
...I'm not a "young bloke" but I have to say the new generation sport bikes are tops in handling when it comes to the track. I also have two old school track prepped bikes; Honda CB1100F and a Kawi Z1R. I have fun on all of my bikes but the late model bikes are the one's I have alot more fun with due to the out of the crate near perfect handling/braking/power characteristics. That's why they cost 4 times as much as the bikes of the 70's and 80's.
The Bking is a great bike, it's actually my current favorite in the line up.
Here's some recent pics of the Yosh eliminator kit. I have an Ermax tail kit coming in. It has the integrated tail light embedded in the rear tailpiece. Will post pics once installed.
