OEM vs Evotech Brake Lever Guard

OEM vs Evotech Brake Lever Guard

Which brake lever guard would you go with? I'm racing in a couple weeks and I'm torn between OEM and Evotech. Thanks.

DIY tuning

Is sending the ECU in to one of the mail-in companies that much better than using the canned Woolich Racing package? I'm not worried about the price difference (350ish to mail in, 700 to have your own tuning device), I like the idea of having control of my own ECU and not needing to send it in every time I need to take the bike to the dealership. Thanks.

NJMP Thunderbolt: Big bike or small bike track?

I'm torn on whether to bring the Suzuki GSX-8S or the Aprilia RSV4. For those who have been, what do you think? I'm doing the race school and thinking about using the 8S for racing (but not sure how competitive it'll be). All opinions welcomed.

Race prepping GSX-8S

So I just got my race certificate but haven't jumped in fully with a race ready bike. Thinking about going with ASRA. Has anyone prepped a naked bike for sprint racing that can give me a few pointers? I know everything fluid related has to be safety wired. Just curious if people are drilling their own holes in bolts or is there a kit that can be bought? I'm not all in, so I still want to bounce back and forth from street riding this bike. TIA

How to counter a swoop

No matter how many times it's brought up during the riders' meeting and throughout the day, some people just can't help themselves.

I'd like to know what people do when someone swoops in front of you. While they're mid swoop do you try to cut inside (making it a strange but legal pass)? Or do you try to pass them on the outside while they're heavily braking (if there's room to get around them)? Or do you just patiently wait behind them (because they're on a bigger bike, so they're going to blast away on the straight)?

This is really cooking my noodle trying to have a good strategy for solving this annoying issue. TIA.

A Little Game of Cat and Mouse

I mean, technically I'm the cat (RSV4), but my buddy the mouse (F4i) was certainly trying to catch me. 😆 Shout out to my homie for the footage.

Trackday organization opinions?

I would like to get everyone's recent feedback on Precision. I've done N2 and Evolve, but would like to know out of the three if Precision is better. Pic for attention. 😜 TIA.

2026+ Aprilia RSV4 Factory lap timer

For those that run their RSV4 on the track, can you give me a little help to get my timer to work? I've been trying to activate it all day at the track. I was able to turn it on one time while toodling around the paddock but could never get it to start on the track. I thought the GPS was activated already. Also, the track that I was at (Summit Point) wasn't in their library. TIA.

The one billionth tire question.

2027 Aprilia RSV4 Factory at Summit Point on a set of Supercorsa SP V4. I'd like to say that I beat that bitch like a redheaded step child on the track, but I left a lot of power on the table. But what's currently cooking my noodle are the lines on the right side of the tire. I had the TC set pretty high so there wasn't much spinning when I pinned it after most of the apexes, so I was looking for some suggestions on where they came from. TIA.

On a side note, the Techspec tank grips are peeling after one trackday. I tried a different model this time and they are much thinner than the previous ones I used.

Critique my data (phone GPS)

The track is Summit Point. Started about a year ago. Still in novice with a handful of trackdays under my belt with a few currently on the schedule. Riding a mostly stock GSX-8S, so not the fastest bike in the world, but I think I can still squeeze out a few more seconds. I'm still working on getting to WOT after releasing the brake. Coach said I'm looking solid in most turns, but I need to stay closer to the middle of the track from T3-T5 (which I found odd). Not much to go on, I know, but still would like to hear your opinions. Thanks.

That is the question. I think the white and red need to go. And definitely the black stickers on the front. I want to see more purple. What sayeth the hive?

Was at the track with my GSX-8S this past weekend, and some dude's bike in front of me decided to start dumping parts on the track. I couldn't tell what they were as they flew by as I was going 120mph.

Can someone tell me if my radiator is fine or should I replace it? I have another track day in a week, so if I need to order the replacement part it should arrive before then.
