f4i & rearsets - 3/27/2008 4:55:28 AM    stx Posts: 89 Joined: 6/25/2006 Status: offline I was wondering if any of you guys run stock rearsets on your f4i on the track, have heard that they may cause clearance issues. I sighned up for a couple of track days at pocono with tpm, wondering if I can get away with the stock the first couple of days. _____________________________ cbr f41 06 blue "Life is too important to be taken seriously" Oscar Wild Post #: 1

You should be good on the track as long as you have good body position. _____________________________ 07 600 RR track weapon ''''''''''''''''01 white/red F4i SOLD PCIII Akrapovic Ti slip on Galfer SS line Ohlins forks springs Woodcraft rearsets Hot Bodies flush signals (in reply to kneepuck oo envy) Post #: 5

RE: f4i & rearsets - 5/25/2008 1:37:00 AM    dabaka   Posts: 14 Joined: 1/7/2008 Status: offline About the rear sets,i do have a question.Does their positioning affect the leaning of the bike,i mean if they are  upper than the standart position the pressure you use with your leg is smaller or bigger to lean the bike and the opposite if they are lower of than the standart?Im asking cuz im new into the track days and want to set up my bike Thanks (in reply to Jaybird180) Post #: 11

RE: f4i & rearsets - 5/26/2008 2:00:05 PM    krash Posts: 1187 Joined: 5/9/2006 Status: offline basically, they move the foot peg up and back about an inch or depending on the manufacturer.   the dont really effect the force you use to lean the bike, but they do allow you to lean the bike over farther without draggin your pegs. _____________________________ 07 600 RR track weapon ''''''''''''''''01 white/red F4i SOLD PCIII Akrapovic Ti slip on Galfer SS line Ohlins forks springs Woodcraft rearsets Hot Bodies flush signals (in reply to dabaka) Post #: 12
