    Diff between med and soft 208GPs

    Ordered a new set of 208GPs, soft compound, for June dates at Laguna and they sent me a medium rear. Can anyone tell me how much grip difference I'm gonna notice before I complain and ask them to replace it with a soft? I've never run mediums. June, Laguna, 600RR, fast B+ pace, if that...

    Frequency of oil changes?

    How often do you guys change the oil on your trackday bikes? I've been doing it every 3 track days, when I change tires, but I'm wondering if I should be able to get 6 days out of an oil change.

    Splitting Tire - Dealer Screwup - Wow

    So I just put new 208GPAs on my RR for a couple track days coming up and, being the anal retentive freak that I am, I spent the usual 20 minutes listening to tunes and pulling off all the little rubber hair off the tires. Good thing I did. As I'm doing the front tire, I notice this: Hard to...

    Hanging front end?

    So my 610 won't stay on my stand due to the frame weirdness, and I'm wondering if I can just hang the front end from the rafters using the bars as a grab point. Will I bend them if I do that for 15 minutes? Should I use the upper triple?

    Draining Coolant?

    I'm gonna drain the coolant in my 07RR and replace with distilled water and wetter, but I've never drained coolant from any of my bikes. Dealer wanted a full hour of labor just to drain it, so I figure I'll do it myself. Anyone want to give me the quick how to of what things I need to pull to...

    A Little Perspective?

    I know it's hard to have perspective given all the recent tragic events, but I for one don't believe that the sky is falling and I don't thing we're all gonna die just because we choose to ride motorcycles. Folks, it is mostly in your hands. Here are some statistics from the CHP website that...

    Confusing Dunlop Tire Info

    I'm due to replace my 208GPs before my next track day and was debating running the US209s next time; checked out the Dunlop site and noticed that they recently updated it and the 208GPs aren't even listed anymore. They only show the Sportmax GP (209). I click over to the Sporttire site and...

    Impaired Driving Neighbor - Any proactive options?

    Question for you LEOs as to whether there are any options in the following situation. I live on a dead-end street that curves right in front of my house and then leads to a cul de sac. Living in the cul de sac is a woman who drives a large Mercedes, often under the influence of either drugs or...

    Info on B- Group at Keigwins?

    So I signed up for some upcoming Keigwin's dates for the first time and by the time I signed up the only thing left was B- group. I've done about 20-25 trackdays, most back in the 90s, either CLASS, DP, or private groups. Typically ran A at CLASS or B at DP/others. I'm not a super fast rider...

    At what age to move from 50 to a 70?

    I'm debating moving my son up from his 50 to a 70 and I'm just not sure if it's the right time yet. He just turned 9, he's tall for his age, and he looks like a monkey on a toy bicycle when he rides his 50, but he's still pretty basic in his skills. He hasn't spent a ton of time on the 50 yet...

    Do I need to adher to break in limits?

    Do I really need to adhere to the 5100 rpm break in limit on my new 610? I've always subscribed to the break it in hard routine and never had a problem with any of my bikes, but I heard to be careful with these singles. True or no? Riding around at 4500 rpm is frickin killing me. I can tell...

    Slip-On Question

    Dumb question, and I wouldn't be asking if this were my other bikes, but given this is my first thumper, figured I'd ask anyway. The stock can on my 610 is not USFS approved, so I'm gonna throw a slip-on with a spark arrestor on the bike now, but do the header and rejetting later. Q. Will the...

    SM Need a Green Sticker?

    Dumb question, but does a street plated Husky 610SM need any sticker to ride at the OHV parks? Is the green sticker just for offroad bikes? Spark arrestor issues?

    Dumb Question - Handguards/bar ends

    Trying to install some Acerbis on my Husky 610 and I have a really dumb question. Isn't there a bar end under the grip end that needs to come off? If so, how do I get it off? I can't seem to figure out how to get it off and I can't see a screw.

    Local Source for Long Dzus Fastners/Options?

    I've been trying to get my ill fitting crap eRacings fairings to stay on my 600RR and am about to take a hammer to these thick inflexible PsOS. I've been using the .5" standard D ring posts, but they're just not long enough to get through these thick skins. I've even squeezed down the springs...

    Husky Owners - Redline light Q

    Husky owners, anyone had problems with their redline warning light (that little round light on the lower right)? Mine is coming on at 2200 rpm. Dealer's never seen that.
