This should be good.

To go fast in a car you need to throw money at it.

to go fast on a bike you need to throw skill at it.
...
Develop your skills before you get any more power - if the bike currently puts out too much power to enable you to get round a corner perhaps the bike is too powerful for you - any idiot can go fast in a straight line - a true rider shows their skills in the corners.

my 2c

Well said McJim. Wise words mate.

wow, i must look dumb now! erm...

[HDTboy]

I'm prepared to show you if you are prepared to listen and learn.I will even provide the race ready bike to see how much you think you know.I'm not being smart I'm being honest

That's a decent offer.

I won't be back at manfield until the second round of the winter series, but you're welcome to come and find me then if you're still around. I'll most likely be on bike number 212.

Even if you just show up at a manfield practise day, pay your money and get out on the track, you'll learn a lot about your bike and its limits. You're bound to find someone faster than you on the day unless you're Sam Smith.

Your 03 R6 should be good for a 10.8s pass or less with a skilled and lightweight rider on it.

A 600 has more than enough power, i've bet an evo 7 off from the lights and it wasn't stock standard. He might have got me off the mark, but when he changed gear i gave the R6 full tit and screamed past him.

Mods to make a 600 fast... try chopping weight where possible, this will get real expensive because you'll be replacing parts with carbon fibre rather than removing bits altogether. Otherwise, fuelling (PCIII) and airflow (K&N or similar and a full-race system exhaust).

Lighter wheels and chain will help acceleration, and while your at it you might as well remove or at least lighten your rear brake to save some more weight and gain a bit of acceleration in that department.

At the end of the day, you aren't going to gain a whole lot, and $$$ for performance gain probably would have been better off with a car... that's when the 1000cc bike comes in to the picture.

If you've got offers of help on your skills on a track then jump at the chance.

I had a great day at Pukekohe today - rode like a grandma for the first 2 sessions then got the hang of the bike a bit - 240kph for the first time in my life.

Quite windy at those speeds though

Bodily wind, I bet old boy

best mod would be a muzzy clutch, then a 50 dry shot nos, crank lightening and balance, port flow n polish, and muzzy cams and stato, with the air mod, and the carbon conrods with the after market oil bellows for gentle lubrication. Top it off with a cut back pipe and lowering bars, and that'll be a meeeeeeeeean ride bro

Do you want to sell cos it sounds like you cant get out of 2nd. Last track day a R6 dragged me off down the back straight. What you want is an F15 fighter.

my most sincere apologies old boy!

[BigG]

So it was you was it ! I have decided to get a bit of weight off for the next track day cos the bike thinks I'm carrying a pillion.

Don't forget you've got to forge the fuck out of the carburettors, and fit a motec system exhaust with a momo suck-off valve... You might want to change the chassis to full carbon fibre and make yourself out of carbon fiber for good measure too.
