Congatulations Barney! Fantastic news. Your life is about to change bigtime! <p></p><i></i>

I had a go on a K4 a few weeks ago. Funny, but my impressions were very different from yours. I stongly suspect that your comparing the GSXR to your turbo FZR, am I right?<br><br>So what did I think, comparing it to my (almost) stock standard 1989 FZR1000W? Amazing power, anywhere any time. Trust me...

Finally read through it. Looks like Pilot Powers for me next time. A mate of mine had these on his 02 R1 and they seem almost indestructable- hardly showing any signs of abuse despite being badly abused<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=...

Ricerocket- did you check your front wheel bearings? I had this happen years ago on an FZ400R and the bits that sheared off got in the front wheel bearings. They were on the verge of collapsing when I found out, because I took my sweet time getting the speedo running again. <p></p><i></i>

If the bike is trying to stand up in the bends, something is wrong. The FZR has quite neutral handling, and you can trail the front brake gently into the bends without it wanting to stand up too much. Check your tyre pressures- maybe the front tyre pressure is just too low, which would turn the bike...

OK Bob, I HAVE to ask this:<br>either you only have three fingers or you can get your index finger to point at a crazy angle from your hand...actually I think I can see your thumb in the background, so how the hell do you do that?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/imag...

Nbot, just to add to your confusion! When I had a D220 on the back I didn't like it as it would slide (progressively) under power- BUT the preload was too high, the damping was wound off the scale (ie more than 9 clicks), it had the squeak in the swingarm linkages which was making it bind and I was ...

I assume you mean my tyre- It will be the rear suspension- there were 2 things wrong with it when I went to the track<br>1) the shock has done 40,000km so doubtless it is fecked<br>2) the linkages were sticking- I fixed that yesterday and it made a huge difference, more grip + smoother ride.<br><br>...

RiceRocket1, they look like D208's- what profiles do you have front and rear? I have a theory that if I fix the sqeaky rear end to get the swingarm moving smoothly then set the sag, right the wear patterns will even up to be more like yours. <p></p><i></i>

I sent an email my local tyre shop showing them the wear patterns etc and they forwarded it to Dunlop. This is the reply:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>First of all the wear on the tyre.The D208 is modern tyre made for modern bikes with high ride height ...

How much tire pressure in each?<br>Set to 34psi both ends at local servo with their digital pressure guage after riding for less than 2km at 50km/h. Air temp at time was about -2°C. Tried dropping the front by 2psi before last 15 minute session as the front wasn't getting as tacky as the rear. Seeme...

I did a track day with my FZR1000 on Saturday, it went pretty well, all things considered. I finally have a reasonable set up and I was able to corner pretty well. But I’ve noticed something that makes me think the setup can be improved further, and I’m wondering if someone could give me some advice...

I agree with the above. Just make sure your oil level is topped right up (there are two dots cast into the engine casings next to the sight window). Mine usually comes on after taking a right hand corner at 120km/h or above. <p></p><i></i>
