  1. FZ/MT09 Racing / Track Days
    I can’t believe the season is over already! This year was both incredible and challenging. My season was unexpectedly cut a little short unfortunately. Last weekend, after a successful private track rental with advanced riders, I stuck around for a public trackday. While making a double pass...
  2. FZ/MT09 Racing / Track Days
    We'll be riding at VIR this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to raise money to purchase more Airfences. If you're unaware, Airfences are soft barriers that are used on the race track to protect the rider in precarious areas on track where tire walls or other obstacles would seriously injure them in...
  3. FZ/MT09 Racing / Track Days
    Little late to post I guess, but what the hell... We're riding VIR (Patriot course) this Sunday with Evolve GT. If you're interested in joining let me know. I usually have a pretty good size paddock setup so all you'll need to do is bring your bike and gear...
  4. FZ/MT09 Wheels & Tires
    New track season, new tires. I had a very successful 2022 season riding on the Q4 tires from Dunlop. When I burned through my last rear tire at the end of the season I made the switch to Dunlop slicks. The slicks require warmers and an aggressive riding style to maintain heat to ensure proper...
  5. FZ/MT09 Wheels & Tires
    So I made the quantum leap to slicks at the end of my 2022 track riding season. Here are my notes. Every single track day this year has been on Dunlop Q4 track day tires prior to this. The Q4's held me well, and I had nothing but good things to say about them. My frequency for track riding...
  6. FZ/MT09 Racing / Track Days
    A few of us hooligans are getting together once again for another glorious trackday in Kershaw South Carolina. So far we have: 1. @Darf 2. @Muc 3. @Camp49 (??) 4. Myself @PinoyRider88 you in? I usually rent a 30A paddock where we can all plug in and setup fort. (We can fit many bikes here...
  7. FZ/MT09 Wheels & Tires
    If I could summarize these tires in one word... "Magic." Granted, I've never ridden on slicks or anything more serious than these tires... but I'm truly blown away with what's possible on these. I've had 3 track days on these tires so far and only in the last session of my last day I found the...
  8. FZ/MT09 Wheels & Tires
    Hey friends. So I should be getting a spare set of wheels here if all goes well. I've been bouncing a few ideas around for a little bit now, but I haven't come to a solid decision yet. The purpose of the spare wheels is for my track day tires. I've come to the conclusion now that my street...

    Hey all, is there someone doing track days on 09? I wonder what upgrades have you done to not limit you in standard riding but improved your track day experience? Here is a vid, tips are welcome :)

    Just thought I d post a compilation of my recent track day.....the thing that Struck about the bike is how tractable the engine is.....lots of short shifting and using the mid range.....so lots of fun without having to thrash the life out of it everywhere....

    Post your CVR vids here. Here's mine to start it off. Hope you enjoy.
  12. Tracks
    Spent last weekend enjoying some seriously nice weather at Pocono. Rode the 'Inside' track for the first time. This is a 1.37-mile combination of 'south' and 'east' that doesn't make any use of the tri-oval (read: a good thing - no ugly transitions). The verdict? AWESOME! As I've alluded...

    Great day and weather here in NEPA!! Track day at Pocono Speedway. Lots of fun and about 150 participants.
  14. The Ride Report
    Hey! I've had the FZ-09 since November and have put about 6800 miles on it. This past sunday I took it out to Spring Mountain Motor Raceway and put it through it's paces. I was a little skeptical about how it would do given the suspension is not the greatest but the bike did well!! I rode in B...
