CBR600 Help

[Harman]

I have just bought a 2001 CBR600fs and want to use it at cadwell on the 11 june
1. do I need a steering damper
2. what tyres should i use
3.how much life should be on the chain etc
4.what do i have to do to the bike before they let me on the track.
5.what have i missed.

thank you steve

1. No

2. The ones you are using now as long as they have some wear left in um.

3. Same as above as long as they are not worn out.

4. G or bendy or someone with trackday experience will know this one.

5. You will need one piece leathers or 2 piece leathers what zip together(Not to sure if these are still allowed)

Hope this helps

1. Nope.

2. Depends what's on there now. If they're shit, you may want to change them. I like my 010s personally.

3. What the man said up there.

4. Nothing. If it's roadworthy, it's trackworthy. There's no scrutineering or anything. Might want to take the mirrors and the numberplate off, but you can do that at the circuit on the day.

5. 2 piece zip together are fine (they don't check). Make sure your helmet's got a gold ACU sticker on it.

Thank you see at cadwell

[Bendy]

Oh yeah, one thing you might want to consider is a set of crash mushrooms (though that goes for general road riding too) - R&G do them for the CBR6, about £100 for the pair.

You could always buy a nice spangly bike trailer to tow it on too

[Harman]

I would buy a 2 bike trailer today if someone can tow it there and back

[Bendy]

I have a towbar, G has a towbar, and we only have one trailer now.

Could be very do-able.

Especially as I was thinking that there are a lot of southerners coming now who are all going to want to put their shit in a car, 2 cars may be a plan.

[Harman]

Can you please give me a call as I have found a company that sells them for £420 inc vat. I don't know how to do the friend allocation on bcf so my number is *** thanks steve



Edited cos I've got the number and the internet's full of freaks. - Bendy

[Hex]

To allocate friends, you need to view their profile and the option is in there.

So you didn't get the blade in the end then?

If you need somebody to go over the bike and advise you on what you need for it give me a shout and I will pop round and have a poke.

I also keep trying to phone you everytime we go for a rideout but your phone isnt on.

Ordered my Chain and sprockets, Crash mushrooms, bt014's Tie downs, abba stand, 2 bike trailer, have I forgot any thing

[G]

That'll be fine for your first track day .

I'd get a rear padock stand if you aint got one, but not a problem because you've got a side stand and there will be others there with padock stands.

I'd also be tempted by a clear double bubble for the straights, but not too great an issue either really.

Before the day I'd give the bike a quick going over, for instance all fluids are ok, brakes working well etc.

[Harman]

Cheers G I spoke to Kev and he said he will look at it next week
