New member, new track bike
Good morning all.
I've just picked up a track prepared K3 SV650. Because you can't trust what people put on eBay adverts, I've given it a good once over, a good service. Put a KTech kit in the front (GSXR K6) and a nice new Brembo RCS Corsa Corta on. Dyno run yesterday to make sure it's all running OK. My question is, an I looking for any issues or nuances that the bikes have as I've never ridden one. I've not been on a track for 10 years and don't ride on the roads any more. Any feedback more than welcome. You can never have enough info. Thanks. Paul Last edited by Paul_m; 13-05-23 at 09:44 AM. |

Re: New member, new track bike
I'm not a track rider but TSM on here races an SV in Supertwins so he would be a good source of info.
James Holland Racing would also be useful as he used to prepare race spec SV's Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Re: New member, new track bike
I've done everything I can do now with it. Brakes will need another bleed when I get there tomorrow. Vans loaded, Donington here we come. I'm actually quite apprehensive after not being on track for 10 + years.

Re: New member, new track bike
Yes, the bike has a pit lane limiter on it, from its initial TT build. The engine bottled and spluttered in 2ND so I could only ride in 3rd to 6th. I need to strip the loom out and remove the pit lane switch and cables.
Needs stomp grips for my knees. Need to switch it to race shift too. Had a few false neutrals from poor gear engagement going up through the box, so stomping down to change up is much better. Need a Gear indicator as I kept forgetting my gear and when I went to change 6th, I was already in it and the Quick Shifter just cut the revs. I really enjoyed it though. It was a really enjoyable first time out for 10 years though. |
