Upgrading a few key pieces on my new R1. Ready for the next track day to test everything out, feels like a completely different bike already! Music: bensound.com
the rear set tear drops come off w/ a wrench ... once you get some slicks you will be hitting them all the time ... just fyi I would take them off...they twist off ez. good video!
Great point thank you! Will definitely take them off. Couldn’t justify rearsets since this is a street/track bike. I have a race bike with all the goodies, just take this for fun now and again.
Besides the brake pads did you do anything for the brakes? Any specific brand you recommend for brake pads ? I'm still running stock ones and they suck lol....dope video 💯
Thanks man! Nothing more other than pads; ABS intervention is annoying but only comes in when I’m really braking hard. I recommend SBS (what I currently use), brembo, vesrah. Hope that helps!
Nothing in the service manual about weight, however the standard settings from the manual are: spring preload 78.5mm, rebound 12 clicks, fast comp 5.5 turns, slow comp 18 clicks, preload 4mm. I know the stock settings account for a second rider so for trackday use you generally have to go softer. Hope that helps!
What a whole some video and dam thats alot of mods at once !
Thanks! Yeah I wanted to get them out of the way to satisfy myself and give the pocketbook a break for a while haha.
Nice upgrades bro. I have a 2019 and I love it. It ain’t as fast as other bikes but it’s perfect power for me.
Awesome! Yeah I’ve been enjoying it a lot. More power than most any of us can appreciate or use so it’s plenty!
My guess is you will be tracking her more than you plan...HAHA.
haha you may be correct my friend! Such a fun bike to ride, we shall see.

@cchief249 I have heard good things about vesrah but I'll definitely look into those sbs pads as well. Thanks for the response
What is stock spring rate set for? (Body weight est.) Thanks!

Are you on stock springs?
What is you estimated weight with leathers etc.
Thanks
