It certainly was an interesting and wobbly weekend! haha.
yes suspension is the ONE thing that I wasn't able to prep before that round in time. It won't be long (;
I ran my bike with no sliders at all this weekend, lowsided on both sides with minimal damage. I would suggest longer clipon bars (Woodcraft makes a set of clipons that fit under the stock triple) and solid pegs (Woodraft is also going to be carrying full rear sets soon for the RC390) , they...
At the track this past weekend I thought mine was getting a bit too hot sitting in pit lane. It did not spike any higher than two bars from the top all weekend in 85*F and Sunny weather. The fan cycled on and off and it didn't seem to have any issues albeit a bit concerning to see the gauge fill...
I posted these links in my "Build Thread" but I figured I should cross post them here for people to easily find them.
This will be my race progress videos from this season at the Loudon Road Race Series of New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

I am very impressed with the stock capabilities on the suspension. I raced my RC390 this past weekend on FULLY STOCK suspension on a VERY bumpy racetrack (NHMS), and while it did lead to me bottoming out the forks and crashing in one race, it held up MUCH better than I anticipated. With...
Hmm. you DO have the TYGA rearsets also though, that might make a difference. I will have to take a closer look at yours next round.
I am going to try the Pirellis next round. Got these takeoffs for free so that I could cut down on cost, they're not bad by any means but I haven't give the P's...
Happy Monday!
The bike was awesome on the track this weekend!! I will say DO NOT RACE ON STOCK SUSPENSION!! haha
Something to keep in mind, NHMS is one of the bumpiest tracks around here and will put ANY suspension to the test. I had a low-side on day one of practice, little bit of bar input...
Today is the day!! I am packing up the bike and heading to the track.
I have a few parts waiting for me when I get there.
--Woodcraft keyless ignition kit (PLUG AND PLAY) available now through Woodcraft-CFM
--Titanium predrilled Caliper bolts, Pinch bolts, and TI replacement oil filter cover...
Punch the middle of the broken bolt, use a small diameter drill bit and SLOWLY (or you will snap the bit and be f***ed) drill the hole deep enough to get an EZ-OUT to work. You should be able to spin the bolt out with that.
If that doesn't work, call a professional, don't keep drilling deeper...
