Geebuz, Robert, learn to crash so the sponsors' logos are on camera. Totally unprofessional, dude.

only time an announcer said anything about me i was sitting in the middle of the front straight at Charlotte Motor Speedway scrubbing off 100 with my butt (borrowed leathers actually. guy didn't make me buy 'em. no doubt felt sorry for my dumb ass. rode the bike home. them's the days.)
Go 513! A nation without heroes really wishes it had some.

Robert,
@stangmx13 very impressive videos. Really impressed/surprised you can do that while also racing. Also have to say I am impressed with your suspension knowledge when answering questions on the WERA forum. |

im an engineer in nearly every aspect of my life and have always been a DIY kinda racer, so i had to learn suspension. and i like learning, so i really really learned it ![]() for Sunday, i tried 3 turns less preload in WUP. i was having trouble loading the front in the fast corners that dont require braking, so the change made sense. i liked the change as it was just easier to go fast in those turns. however, now the forks were sitting at 0 turns of preload and i dont like that. not enough preload means u might ride in the top-out spring too much, which ruins bump handing when on the throttle. so i went down in springrate. but i didnt want to change my bottom part of the stroke too much, didnt want to ruin the hard braking feeling. so i measured how much travel i was using - 125mm. i did the math and found that the lighter springrate would cause me to use ~5mm more travel at 125mm. so i ran the lighter springrate at 5 turns of preload which is 5mm. at half travel, i was prob near the exact same dynamic ride-height as the stiffer springs at 0 preload. so everything was great. i went a lot faster over race distance in Race 2.

Why did you choose the Yamaha 600?
I was an engineering tech most of my career.

the R6 is the fastest bike for a low-budget privateer for sure. suspension, a great flash, and a $2500 motor build and its ready. setup advice is readily available from a number of quality tuners. and it works great with today's Dunlops.
I raced the CBR prior to this and being 10HP down was terrible. the chassis was great but it couldn't make up for that. I was never really tempted to get the GSXR or ZX because fewer people race them. they also aren't full fly-by-wire, which is a nice selling point of the R6.

with all the 600s on the same set of regulations for 2018 (reduced SS), theres no longer a weight penalty for the ZX 636. its 161kg across the board now. the extra motor would probably be nice. but i hear they chatter like hell w/ the stiff Dunlop front tire.

I hadn't even heard rumors about Rog retiring, let alone who'd replace him. I think we'll def hear more by Sonoma.

Corey Ventura and Jackson Blackmon discuss their time at the VR Academy Its interesting how much stuff they packed into just five days. Gives some insight into just how far-reaching the VR Academy program is.
