  • You getting Maxton suspension for yours now?

    This has always been the plan, eventually though. I'm keen on doing a GSXR1000 K5/6 front end swap so can benefit from radial callipers and better cartridge kits, also from a certain purple suspension company so a few things to factor in and time needed to save up!

    Yeah the Boost YZF looks great I have to agree. Maybe it's my (lack of) age but the SRAD and 916 rep liveries don't do much for me, whereas the Yamaha looks awesome.

  • Yeah too boring. I put FZR but I mean YZF sorry. They are on my mind as I have been looking at an FZR600 recently but it's in Scotland. Ha.

    Like he said I bet the brake upgrade will see the biggest difference to the rider. I think unless the suspension is shot you would be better off spending that money on track days.

    Was at a work meeting at Oulton park a couple of days ago and in all the classes there were chaps on Adventure bikes near the top of all the groups. Goes to show what time on the bike gets.

    Upgrading my master cylinder, discs, lines and non-shonky 6-pots (technically downgrade to 4-pots) has seen a big improvement. Need to get some new EBC pads as no doubt that will make a big difference. With some of these things I'm keen to service the current kit, to make sure it's working as well as it can, then eventually fit the tarty stuff, because well I'm a tart. The advice about seat time is always relevant and pretty poignant as my local track is 15 mins away so no excuse.
