    Anyone racing a 03-05 R6?

    Gonna start off in Clubmans first then see what happens....
    I have a few questions regarding catch bottle positioning,tyre choice (running 2CT's @ the mo.), recommended race fairing set,& any other tips that may be helpful.
    Will be starting off on my stock standard 04,but plan to slowly upgrade her as the $$$ become available as Im budget restricted...
    Cheers..

    There were a couple on here that used to race them, gpercival was one.

    Get aquainted with ebay - it could make your racing a lot more affordable.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Go to my profile picture and you will see where I placed my catch bottle on my 05 R6.

    just use any normal race sorta rubber, pirelli super coras, conti race attacks, michlein power race, just your personal choice, since they all have grooves in them are road legal

    Conti Race Attack "street" compound are good from cold, and are designed to work well without tyre warmers. They don't have the same outright grip as the medium or soft compounds, but you really want warmers to make those tyres work best.

    If you're still venting the motor into the air cleaner box (as per 600 proddie rules), you don't need a catch bottle.

    And, I strongly agree with Choppa, get the best tyres you can afford followed by the best suspension as you can afford it!
