Anyone here going to the CSBK races at Mosport this weekend?

Welcome mate! This is a great spot for any questions you have. Just search and don't be afraid to ask! Cheers

Ok folks. Just received and mounted the new rubber this weekend. Unfortunately the weather here in Ontario is shite this weekend. Was out for a quick ride but don't have much to say yet with these cold and dirty roads.... Will keep you all posted! Cheers!

Sorry. been away. I'm from the K-W area. I hear you on the weather. Just put new rubber on my '18!

Will show y'all how to change tires. Is easier than you think...

Go with the Akra full system. -Sounds amazing when you open it up! Cheers Par!

Have mine pulled off atm to get painted red. the trims around the headlight too... The silver they put on our bikes is crap, deleting all of it, frame brackets, pegs... Have a Honda ATV from '17 and the colour scheme is the same. Looks way better in just black and Honda Red. Cheers Eh!

After you rule out the easy, mechanical stuff like checking tire pressure and making sure all the bolts and screws are tight, I'm going to suggest that you try taking a racing-oriented riding course. I promise it will be the best $ you can spend on getting the most from your bike and yourself...

Hey folks, I just ordered a pair of Metzeler Sportec M9's for my '18 CB650. These will be the first new set of tires on the bike. Have any of you tried running these tires? -and what did you think about them? I'd really appreaciate you all's input. I'll be back to update this thread and share...

Thanks for the thumbs up miweber. All I can say here is to just leave folks alone. Shit is just sad these days... We have a lunatic, outspoken fringe group who think it's cool to impose their idealogy and beliefs on else here in the U.S.A.

It's always been a thing on race bikes to jack the rear end and drop the front. -Is easier on bikes with clip-ons. Doing that might make you faster in the short term, but it's just a band-aid. Having a quicker turn in seems nice, but you'll be riding a twitchier bike. Setting up a condition you...

Sounds like we're both in the same spot. Preload and weight!

The sound of that Honda 4 cylinder was one of the reasons I bought my CB. -instead of the twins in the same class. sv650, mt-07 etc.

I was waiting for a left turn light at a busy intersection near home today when a really nicely built 18 wheeler came through also making a left from my right hand side. The rig looked sweet. Chromed out, super clean, white sheet metal and the frame was almost a burgundy. As he was coming into...

Good stuff for playing around on a "dyno" -remember that what you are messing with depends on the airflow around the bike out in the real world... -Have youtaken that into account whilst doing your "tuning"?
