What are you racers and trackday addicts doing to the bike over winter to get an edge?
My YPVS is on the bench, engine out and crank just rebuilt with RD500 big ends. Barrels are currently undergoing surgery with a Dremmel and riffler files and the head is away having 0.8mm shaved off it.
Hope it'll give me an edge in Hillclimbs and trackdays Laughing https://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/OldGitRacing/DSC_0162.jpg[/img]

My ZX6R is currently getting valve clearances and other things done to it to hopefully nudge it over 120rwbhp. Race fairings have been bought, along with projector headlights. Bought a lightweight battery and i'll be doing some other stuff to save weight, will also buy some spares (engine casings etc) just in case.

At the end of it all i'll still be slow as fuck. Laughing

I'll be removing the go faster dent/hole in the petrol tank (ie. buying a new one) and reversing some of the 'lightweight racing modifications' Horace the Hornet decided to perform on himself at the first corner of Oulton. i.e new clocks, bars and throttle tube. Rear fairing would be nice too.

just put some Ohlins forks and race yokes on the ZXR, as well as replacing the wiriing loom, fitted a Dyna ignition and digital clockset.

Thats it for the moment. Thumbs Up Until I think of something else.

Oh, and I brought a Ducati 998 track bike.
