Looks like you had a blast!

Maybe some aftermarket rearsets will help you reduce some grinding. I have yet to scrape any metal parts on my S2R at the track or canyons after I installed Sato rearsets. But then again, I will need to lean the bike a bit more.






Sato rear sets you say? Interesting ...  [moto]

Thanks for the pointers. I am getting more and more comfortable with hanging off the bike. I have only done a few track days and I think I'm doing ok so far.

I've never liked the term "hanging" off the bike.  It implies that you don't have a firm foundation on it still.  You'll get off more if you lead with your torso and square your hips and shoulders towards the turn.  Then to get back on, squeeze your thighs together.  It was the advice given by a Cornerspeed instructor to avoid getting the old Doohan-like position.  It's not just your butt that has to get off the bike.

I don't think it's a great idea to bring the S2R to the track again..... not quite enough clearance to avoid dragging hard parts!  Shocked


Well i never grounded any hard parts on my S4R, you just have to scoot your butt off the seat more.

 Dude, Nice suit! I love the Gericke stuff and the Celtic is awsome. I almost bought one from STG last year but they were out of my size.  bang head

Thanks, for the price I think it's the best suit out there.
