Track day - Page 2

Sounds like you soon conquered those pre-trackday nerves, Ron!

Glad you had a good time - any pictures?

Ron1000 · 26-07-2019, 11:25 PM

Yeah I’ll get some pics up. None particularly great tho.

Anybody heard from pompone lately. Rearset parts required

Ron1000 · 27-07-2019, 08:01 AM

That’s about the best two I can find one of which is ‘borrowed’

Luddite · 27-07-2019, 12:21 PM

I like the fact that you're showing the Panigale the way round!

You must have been going some to get the exhaust down.

I've sent you a PM.

Ron1000??? More like Rocket Ron!!!

chris.p · 27-07-2019, 06:39 PM

I think you need a bit more preload on the rear shock. Or even better a rear shock with an extra 10mm on it’s length.

I kept touching the exhaust valve cover on the 1200R, going through Redgate when I did Donington in May.

Yes I was thinking that too. It’s fine on the road and handles superbly, but a little limiting on the track.

Also; does anybody know the part no for the exhaust section that includes the valve? I’ll get one of them on order at some point to replace the ‘battle worn’ one..…I know QD do one but rather expensive.

Ron1000 · 30-07-2019, 10:33 AM

Also has anybody done knockhill and if so was it timed/what times did you do?

I was timed, and I’m no sure about the accuracy, reluctant to say what my time was because to me it seems rather low.

slob · 30-07-2019, 11:41 AM

... and obviously, none of us ever time trackdays in the uk ;-)

Ron1000 · 30-07-2019, 11:51 AM

Definitely not. It was a surprise

The part number for the pipe section is 57211601A, Ron. Also, if you need to replace the fasteners for the exhaust valve cover, the part numbers are 46240461A for the spring washer and 77550161A for the screw.

I remember Ady sold his Evo last month http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=57534 and he had the QD link pipe fitted. He may not have passed the original centre section to the new owner so you could ask if he's still got it.

Thanks again lud

Luddite · 30-07-2019, 07:27 PM

Sorry, Ron, I've been in touch with Ady and, unfortunately, he sold the pipe along with the bike

I like Flips comments, I no longer do modern track days and keep with Classic or special events ... my slow old MZ can go around the outside but completely blown away on straights - but who cares. Nothing like reeling in a superior bike (no necessarily rider!) on the brakes and just having your own fun. I haven't run my Ducati 250 on a track yet because she is my road jewel but maybe one day soon.
