Starting to convert to track bike
Hi Guys, after for some bit by bit advice.
Have a K4 naked and stage by stage I am beginning to try and improve it for track days, not racing. The first stage is to fit braided brake lines. What steps would you guys start to take next? I would enjoy putting track body work on bearing in mind this is a naked. Would appreciate any advice. |

Re: Starting to convert to track bike
Depends on budget of course, but linear fork springs and fork valves do wonders for the front end (£160)
Then scrub Supercorsas (£100) and for the extra mile: Tyre warmers (£100) to maximise track time. Good brake pads and making sure the calipers are refurbed is very worth your while. For a start!

Re: Starting to convert to track bike
Before you get stuck into incremental changes, think about a GSXR front end. On a pointy this is pretty straightforward as they share the same bearings. the brakes are going to be better anyway, and even having gone the route of springs and emulators, while the forks work better, they' don't give the same confidence as a GSXR. Plenty of info on here about how to do it, flog the stock bits on. The rear shock is pretty rubbish when you start pushing it on the track. After that, you could do a bit of tuning, and plastics would help at high speed, but get the handling sorted and you'll have a whale of a time.
