Exactly the second you find your body not relaxed and you hard holding the bars too tight it is time to slow it down, even on the track.

Damn, I wish work didn't block youtube vids.

I can't wait to do a track day, I think it will probably be in the spring tho. I'm not quite confident enough yet I don't think.

I have a GPR on my 06 R6s and my girl has one on her 04 R6... same bike essentially. I love how solid it makes the bike feel. When I get on another bike.. it feels like the bars are gonna fall off cause I am used to riding with a damper. You can hook up with me sometime and check it out if you want. It takes a little bit to bet used to ... but it helps A LOT!!!!

2000 R6? I believe that comes with a 525 chain and sprockets. If so I don't think the 520 kit would be worth the trouble or money unless you plan on making a noticeable gearing change. I would go for the SS brake lines. Speaking of tunes, is there any place in the 757 area that can dyno tune a bike w a PCIII?

Dynotune's website has authorized facilities listed. And yeah, I was thinking of going with the brake lines for now.

Redline is right down the street from where I live here in Newport News/York County. I planned on taking mine there after I figure out what I want to do with it.
