Measuring Progress With Lap Times | Lakeside Track Day Blue Group On My Ducati 848 Evo
This is the seventh motorcycle track day I've ever done, the fifth on my 2013 Ducati 848 Evo Superbike, and the first one with a lap timer! We're again at Lakeside Park Raceway, with the Moto Garage crew. I'm working more on upper body position, and also getting my toes up higher on the pegs. Also, I'm seeing my progress now, by extracting lap times from previous GoPro videos, and as of today, with my new Speedangle APEX lap timer.

More Uneven Tyre Wear & New Suspension Tune On My Ducati SuperSport 939
Переглядів 52814 днів тому
Just over a year ago I noticed a wear pattern on the tyres of Boe, my Ducati SuperSport 939, where one edge of the tread is higher than the other. Dave Moss suggested some rebound damping adjustment (and some compression damping adjustment too) to the forks and shock. But the same wear pattern never really stopped, so I took Boe to another local suspension expert, and this is what happened... L...

Holden HZ One Tonner Cab Underbody Coating Options?

    I watched your first video and posted about the tire wear as I had the exact same wear on my bike running Metzeler M9RR's. Based on that video I made some rear rebound adjustments and while the wear didn't really seem to change much (the tires were fairly worn already) it made the bike MUCH better to ride. I replaced the Metzeler with Michelin Road 6 and added another 1/4 turn of rebound damping. Now a few thousand miles in on the new tire the same wear pattern is quite noticeable. But I'm like you, I really like how the bike rides where the settings are right now, tire wear patterns be darned, LOL! Thanks for posting your update!

    Lot of hi tech gear for a streeter. If already had with motor, for sure keep em. All that roller rockers are for really hi-lift cams to relieve stress on valve train at above 5,000 rpm. How many 308s have existed getting caned with no probs. I think your a victim of upselling. Don't get me wrong, will be a great motor, obscenely over built and overpriced for your needs.

  • @colinross6259
    @colinross6259 26 днів тому

    Hhhm. No probs with checking the pump out. Probably some mis information. Stretching the oil relief valve is only worth doing over 6,000 rpm. Secondly, hi flow oil pumps cut down the dry start time as pumps more oil quicker. As far as too much oil, someone pissing in your pocket. The oil relief valve stops that. More volume of oil, not at a higher pressure. You can only pump so much oil through a certain size oil gallery. Normal oil pumps are fine, engineered to pump excess oil to account for normal wear. Idle pressure of a worn 308 can be as low as 4-5 psi. I'm a high vo fan. Oil light goes out that much quicker at start up. Oil pressure better at idle.

      @oo0Spyder0oo those plenums seem the worst for rust. I have a bit in mine but not enough to pick it apart, and I'm going to get rust converter in there and fishoilene too.

    Great work and terrific video. I think the reason you were having trouble locking your outside leg in was due to fatigue. You said you were tired from work, and that will have an effect on what you do on the bike in general, especially on track. I agree with your comments RE 6th track day - have fun with it and the rest will fall into place. The 848 is perfect for just being on a track and enjoying the ride.

      Thanks 😊. I think you're partly right... I was tired, and my legs were, too, from cycling the day before. But I did go out for a curvy ride today on my SuperSport and tried to get a feel for hooking my outside leg in better. I'm sure it will come with practice 👍.

    Good stuff. Drop the air pressures in your tires next time for anyone doing this

    • @staceonwheels
      @staceonwheels Місяць тому

      Good suggestion. I might have been lucky and the tyres already were relative low. But I don't think low enough to have dropped the chassis lower... is that what you meant?

    I'm in the process of setting up the same bike for track days and racing here in Bahrain - did you change any mapping due to the cored out exhaust? Mine has been cored out and exhaust servo removed - Bike is allot better for sure. Any info you may have gained along the way much would be very much appreciated as there are varying reports online.

    • @staceonwheels
      @staceonwheels Місяць тому

      Unfortunately I don't know what map was done for the exhaust, but I do know it was done. Previous owner. It rips 😁. So yes, I'd suggest getting it tuned.

    6:40 if rear rebound was too fast the bike would feel very insecure when initiating but mostly when insisting on a turn, especially on uneven roads. You should now feel the bike much safer, glued on the tarmac.

    • @staceonwheels
      @staceonwheels Місяць тому

      True. It's amazing what you can notice when the right changes are made. Always something new to learn with this sport.

    The question is how you got moss for the setup and mess as a result.

    • @staceonwheels
      @staceonwheels Місяць тому

      Well he may or may not have been the cause. Regardless, yesterday I took the bike to a local highly regarded suspension specialist, and it already feels a world away from before. We'll see what happens after a few hundred kms.

    I love jb weld and use it alot. BUT next time it would be best to use loctite (638 from faulty memory) bearing retainer and primer. It is made to reliably do exactly that. Epoxy is not suitable for that job. Good to see you having a go.

    • @staceonwheels
      @staceonwheels Місяць тому

      I was unaware of that locate for bearings. It was a long time ago now, but vaguely remember others using JB weld. I guess time will tell if it's enough or if I get to do a round 2 with rebuilding the column!

    love seeing someone road tripping a 939 other than me, noticed your clutch adjuster almost all the way out, can adjust the secondary on the right side or make sure your cable holder isn't bent on the side of the engine, rode from OK to MN had a track day at BIR and back though Mark Twain forest and the Ozarks on the way back to OK still working on the video footage but should have road footage up soon including roads I use to burn down with my car

    Based on your review I went out and bought the Kreiga 40L combo for my Supersport. Great how to guide and great review!! Im using first time this weekend but planning to see if I can mount and remove all 3 at once without separating the 2 10L's from the 20L. Agree they are probably the best looking luggage option for Supersports!

    • @staceonwheels

      I'm so glad the review helped you. That was nearly 18 months ago, and I still love mine. They were great on an 8 day trip earlier this year.
