Did my first track day last weekend on my 2011 MTS1200. Far from my first track day, though I'm FAR from the fastest out there. Curious what everyone has done for their setups. I'm headed back in another 10 days and want to improve ground clearance.
My setup (200 lbs in gear):
1. Traxxion AK20s with 0.80 kg/mm springs. Good spring for road and track.
2. Ohlins TTX w/ 100 Nmm spring. Little soft, will be upping the rate soon.
3. Brembo M50 calipers w/ Galfer pads and stock rotors. Bullshit rotors.
4. Dunlop GP-A Pros. The 190/60 rear necessitated removal of the mudguard due to rubbing while moving. Forget getting a tire warmer on there...
5. Removed rear seat to get more room. This alone was an epiphany.
6. Removed passenger peg brackets to get foot room. Running with the brackets was a no-no.
7. Removed centerstand to get more foot room.
I destroyed a set of toe sliders. The wide bar and low pegs make it difficult to get in position and unless I'm really monkeying off the bike, the toes touch down right before the knee. Ground clearance sucked.
What's everyone using for higher pegs? Since there are no traditional rearsets, are people just using riser pegs? How about the shifter/brake lever? Looking for suggestions so I can get something on the bike ASAP.
