People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. My apprentice master would have had a fit with that wire locking, it's atrocious. Andy
The weight saving from the drivetrain is quite remarkable especially with 520 conversion. Also replaced all the larger fixing bolts with Ti items, including exhaust bolts...
What are you actually getting from a 4 -500 quid investment in that top yoke other than it looks pretty......i know the offset is already at 30mm std but i would and will look to pay a bit more and get a set of yokes with the adjustable inserts...IMA for example
Nothing other than pure indulgence! It is obviously lighter.... I wouldn’t have paid that amount! Think it worked out just over 300 sheets.... I got a couple of hundred back on my old Ducabike one from the 959 so it had to be done
I'm not professional rider to try and feel differences in offset, why would i pay even more for something that i don't aim too? I'm only looking for different and pretty look with this top yoke. For 330£ it does the job very nice and enjoy what i have
From memory with the drive train... so DID ERV3 520 race chain, Renthal lightweight front and rear sprockets, Front sprocket - one tooth less... Renthal lightweight carrier, CNC flange, plus both hub and rear wheel nuts, lightweight Polly Cush drive with Ti pins, Grade 5 sprocket nuts plus Ti flange nuts, and 2 Ti lock clip rings for wheel nuts, 1 TI front sprocket bolt and washer. Almost equated to half the weight of all the OE a components removed.... Significant reduction in moving mass.....
Do you know how much MPH you lose in 6th? Went 2 up on the rear (similar to 1 down on front I think) on my RSV4 and lost 10mph which was annoying at portimao. Wanna upgrade the chain/sprockets on mine but don’t wanna lose to much top end
Not if I’m honest, I took the advice from some other guys using similar setup for the track. I’ve have very limited time this year like most. Roll on next year
Yeah and getting overtaken by annoying S1KRR’s towards the end of the straight. I was seething I hate those things
I had that a few times on my 848 that was -1 front , and after a session or two decided better to stay out the way and keep the revs down!!
When flat in top does it go all crackle, pop? Or does it just stop accelerating with no drama? Like a car?
Yeah sounds and feels bad in all gears but never managed it in top... but my car just sits on the limiter in top, no drama. Smooth as a baby’s bum....
Yeah same! +2 rear sprocket on the limiter 170mph (GPS). My dash was showing 177mph. My mate on his gen 2 S1KRR was passing me at 176mph (GPS). His was dyno mapped though with full system so around 17-18bhp up on mine. Even so, I hated him and had to contain my rage when speaking to him after every session
