Welcome! I can relate to the whole change in weather. Wish the summers were longer up here. Lots of knowledgeable people on this forum. I've picked up quite of bit on here. I'm sure you will too. Ozzy

Thanks guys for the advice! I'm fairly limited in my experince here so I always appreciate the help. Ozzy

Timmer, I recently changed out the exhaust on 2011 ZX 10R to a two brothers slip on(eliminating catalytic converter). I also installed a K&N air filter. The map that closest fits what I have is for a two brothers slip on with stock air filter, but now I've been running hotter at moderate speeds. What easy fix, if any, can I do to remedy this? Is there gonna be any new maps to address this? Or will it even help? Thanks, Ozzy

I called earlier in the week and was told they did. Killer price too!

Welcome Kawigirl!, As the other say, there's plenty to be learned on this site alone. I am what Cobie calls a "lurker" so I don't post often, but I do visit the site regularly and have leaned a lot from the people on here. I too plan on doing the 2 day camp at The Ridge this year. I was a corner worker last year for CSS and the track is awesome! You'll really enjoy it! Hope to see you then! Ozzy

Those last three laps still have me on the edge of my seat every time I watch them! Amazing race!

I agree. Swing arm maybe?

She was at Streets when I went through level 1 & 2 last September. She rode really well even then. Like Anthem said, must be genetic!

But Streets of Willow is the sure bet for all the off-track goodies, right? /Kai Kai, Yes, weather is as close to a guarantee as can be had, and we have the room for the slide bike, there is a skid pant right next to the track that we use. Hope to sign up for the two day camp for Levels 3 & 4 at The Ridge Motorpark. Seeing how this will be your first time up here, do you know if you will have it here? Thanks, Ozzy

Tim, I am debating on which of these routes I should go so any further info would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know the pros and cons of both in order to make an educated purchase. Thanks, Ozzy

Sweet!! Time to start saving my pennies! Ozzy

Timmer, I read that I could add 15hp to my ZX-10R by reflashing my ECU per ECUnleashed. If true, what benefits could adding a Power Commander on top of that bring? Thanks, Ozzy

The track looks great! I can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the info Sean G. Ozzy

That would be AWESOME!!!! Maybe Dylan and Keith can come take a look some time!

Sean G, Thanks for the info! I'm gonna definetly have to check that out. Didn't even know that they was a track opening in Shelton. Sounds like its gonna be a good track. Will be looking forward to it as well. Ozzy

Sean G, Been wanting to hit a track day there, but had heard bad things about the track in the past. Is this just rumor? Or was that back in the day? My only track experience thus far is Level I and II down at Streets in June. Thanks! Ozzy

Nice Pics Jason! That a new lid? Ozzy

Tim, My question is, on bike like the BMW S100RR and the Kawi ZX-10R which have multiple power modes, does a power commander make a map specific for that power mode? Or does it make a generic one that is used for all the bikes power modes? Also, just to clarify, you can use a Power Commander with even just a slip on exhaust as apposed to a full exhaust? Thanks in advance! Ozzy

Jason, I too noticed Keith doing that when motioning rolling on the throttle. Unfortunately for me, I didn't try it out. Gonna have to remember that the next time I'm out. Again, it was good meeting you on Saturday. Ozzy

What about the electronic, digital reading types? Those any good? Ozzy

I too have have a question between what tires to get. I have never been on the track, but hope to when riding season begins again. My question however is what type of tire should I get. I know with Dunlop you have the Q2, but I know those are from what I understand more for the track. I want something that I could use when commuting as well as going on a ride where there is a lot of cornering, but at the same time I can use at the track. I know its kind of a broad area. Is there such a tire? Or am I expecting a bit too much? Thanks! Ozzy

Thanks guys for your input. Bullet, you are right, it really hasn't changed the fact that I still drool over them when I go in . As far as track time, I don't have any. All my time has been strictly street riding. I plan on attending Level I & II this coming April. So that would be the first formal training that I will get. I have been riding for about four years. A Yamaha Raider S cruiser and the GSX-R. I feel really comfortable on the Suzuki. Not really intimidated, but at the same time don't think that I've outgrown it. You bring up a good point about it possibly being over the top. I'm sure there are times on the highway that I could open it up, but they are pretty few and far between. Plus, would probably end up costing me some money . So maybe I will just stick with what I got for now, unless someone on here can tell me something about the CBR's that would make me want to look there. Thanks again! Ozzy

I currently own a 2008 GSX-R 600, but still find myself going into the local dealerships to "browse" at the other bikes they have. The Yamaha dealership I frequently visit is currently offering some good deals with some of the bikes they have for sale as well as some good rates as far as financing goes. One of the bikes was the R-6, which I have always liked. The other was a 2010 R-1 which they are offering for about the same price as the R-6's. I feel though that the R-1 may be a bit too much bike for me. So my question is, what do others here on this forum think? Should I make the switch to an R-6? or even the R-1? Or should I just stay with what I have? The Suzuki is the only sportbike I have ever owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. How do u all compare the R-6 to the GSX-R 600? Or even any 600cc with a liter bike. Obviously the liter bike has more power, but what other pros/cons is there between the two size bikes? Thanks!

Thanks! That sounds like a good time to head down there then! So time to start making arrangements.

Was wondering if anyone who has been to Streets can tell me about what its like there in Apr. I want to sign up for Level I & II on Apr 23, 24 but would like to know what its like there that time of year. Thanks!
