Track Vits?

[Ben Oldschool]

Anybody willing to share track prep experience?

I’m putting together a 2020 Vit. Looking forward to more track time than wearing myself out muscling around the RC51. So far I’m still waiting on all the parts for new set of cast wheels. Staying with stock gearing. Removed the air box cover, adding O2 dongle with Stock can but arrow cat delete with PC5 and Rottweiler base map. ...for starters. Thanks in advance!

You sure about staying with stock gearing?

 

[Ben Oldschool]

I’m certainly feeling better about starting out with stock gearing. Should be carrying more corner speeds onto straights and fear bumping into rev limiter too early before the end of the straights if I gear down. Will know more after the first track day weekend at end of April. (Oregon Raceway Park in Grass Valley, OR).
A different environment than the streets.

You rode there before on other bikes? I just took a look at the track map, and it's really beautiful and offers a lot variety.

You could always do a Husky version of this...

I’ve had the good fortune to continue riding there since 2011. Fantastically technical & never boring.

Wow nice!!

I just looked at the map and The Connector into Adams frightens me.

turn 6 and 7

That looks fun

It can be run clockwise or counterclockwise too!
& lots of elevation and amber changes as well.
I think the Vit 701 will prove perfect fun here.

That's a lot of lean angle! Whoot!

Great Pic. That’s the corner speed I have to learn which is so different from point & shoot!
Nice front brake caliper upgrade with steering damper!
