my track day report oran park 11.11 + some mods to the bike
I took the trx out for its first track day last week
Before i took it out i changed a few things on it. I moved the clip ons to under the top yoke have to say i love the feel of the bars under the top yoke feels more like my tls now .
i nocked up a set off rear set riser's went up 25mm back 25mm feels very good lots more ground clearence to more pegs touching down
I took the air box out and put a set of uni pod filters in on the stock carbie's what a differance this made. The power is now so much more smoother and pulls a lot stronger threw the hole rev range. Throtle response is better as is the pick up of the bike from down low . the filters are for a 900 ss ducati
I also added some more bling to it carbon mirrors and leavers and harris grips and some gold foot pegs
was very happy with the way the bike went. I spent most of the day in B group and went up to A group for the last session. was very happy with my tyre's bike has meztler M3 on it. After 7 sessions on the track back pulled up ok but front coped a bit off a floging more so then the back . But they gripped up fast and proformed pretty well for a hot day had a few rear end slides turning on to the straight and into turn 1 and 2 but for a road tyre was very happy with them.
here is a few pics from the day
i had a ball with this bloke for most off the day he was on a 02 gixxer 1000 i would get him around the back off the track and over the bridge all day and he would get me back on the straight and turn one just for me to get him back again went on all day and even went up to A group for the last session togther.
in the back ground in this pic there is a red trx coming up onto the brige
and few of the pics i took on the day from the 6 hour race riders practice session

Very nice Dave, looks like you had a top day out. Love the last set of corners before the straight, get the apex right and you make up a lot of ground.
If everything seems under control
your just not going fast enough.

Nice pics Dave. I'm going out there on Saturday to watch the prelims and the practice (unfortunately / or fortunately we have gold class tix for Pearl Jam on Sun night so that put paid to going out on Sunday - still might go to the Expo at Homebush on Sun morning though)

good to see you had a good time keeping newer, faster bikes honest,
looks like you have the same filters as me, mine wer for MX bikes , did you upsize your main jets, i am running 150s and have lifted the needles. i also have the clipons under the top yokes, just feels right.
i like your cheep rearsets think i will give this a go.

if its too hard, your doing it wrong.

Good pic's , days glad you had a great day . Oran is a thinking track ' to make it work and on a rex you need to be smart to beat the horsepower bikes . It usually comes down to rider ability over horsepower on most tracks . Sorry your not there on the 19th . Your mods looked good and did the job . Good report mate
catch ewe later bob

Understeer - when you hit the fence with the front of the bike.
Oversteer - when you hit the fence with the rear of the bike.
Horsepower - how fast you hit the fence.
Torque - how far you take the fence with you.

That front tyre's been nice and hot mate... bit too hot by the looks of it. What pressure you running? Rear looks to have worked beautifully.
I'm interested in your airbox/filter mods... did you need to change jets?
