Blue 636,
If you are planning to ride your bike to the track, I'd highly recommend you ride to the hotel Fri. night. School starts early and will wear you out. If you ride up on Sat. you'll be getting up earlier and already have riden 90 miles! Make sure you get gas before you get to the track.
Have a great day at school!

I'm planing to attend CSS in 2004 and hopefully go to a few track days. It is time to replace my 3rd set of Michilin Pilot Sport's. I was hoping someone can give me some input about Dunlop 208 GP-A, ZR, and 207 RR. Can anyone tell me the characteristics of each/why would I choose one over the other? Also, the 208 gp only comes in a 180 rear. My bike has a 6" wheel I have been told that a 180 rear on a 6" actually turns in quicker. Is it safe to put a 180 on a wheel made for a 190? Any thoughts on tire width would also be appreciated. If it matters I ride an '01 cbr 929. Thanks

I'll assume we're talking about the chain. The number refers to the chain size. Most bikes come with a 525 or 530. Going to a smaller chain means less unsprung weight to put into motion. You would also need to go to 520 sprockets. In the case of my bike and the AFAM sprockets the rear sprocket is now aluminum, also making it lighter. The potential down side is that the aluminum sprocket will wear out faster than steel. Don't know for sure but I think there is something to be said for how effficiently the power gets transfered to the rear wheel with a 520 racing chain and sprockets.
Hope this helps,
Mike
