Looking to run the 996s on track for a few events this year so wanted some help please for some minor people who have tracked their bikes. Looking for brake pad recommendations not pure track but more track and fast road Tyre's - rear size recommendation, is supercorsa the answer ? Anything else I should do to help it run better, it s a completely std bike at the mo.
I have just prepped my 996 for the same. My list: Brembo SC pads Diablo Corsa II 180/55 Nitron R3 shock Rebuilt OE Showa forks Hyperpro steering damper on order.
That's really kind of you, but I managed to get some 2nd hand ones yesterday. They won't be here till later in the week and by all accounts they are pretty ropey as well !
I want to easily flip it back to Road spec so is it possible to just remove the headlights and run a track spec front fairing ?
Yes, you could always just remove the headlights as easily enough done and use a race nose fairing. I have always chased weight saving, I have a Ali Bucci race tank, SES Ali front brace and the CM Composit carbon airbox and is way lighter than stock and much stiffer. For me me, weight saving has made more difference than anything else.
I was surprised someone hadn't mentioned this already, but I did say minor mods I suppose. I know that would be a good mod but probably out of budget for now............. made a real difference on my 848evo
