I took a racing course here in Canada it was three days long and on the last day it was a race amongst the students it was a blast. There were coaches at every third corner and after five laps you would come in and they would critique your riding and lines. It was priceless. Can’t wait to see your improvements.
Great vid. Quick comment on your rear4sets issue. It was the fact you done the nuts up with the rose joint(s) tight to one side and removed their ability to do their job which is move ever so slightly ;) Therefore as everything is tight the vibrations are transmitted through the sensor and therefore the unwanted shifting or blipping occurring.
Brilliantly explained that, that’s exactly what it was lol I just explained it in a more Lehman term (frankly I had no idea what the hell was happening lol) but we cured it lol Thanks for watching and commenting mate
Great vid. Dean Ellison is one of the best. He always goes out of hes way. Silverstone great place . Ride safe 👍🏾 . I'm there on the 17th May . First one of the year .
Fantastic mate, brilliant stuff, you’d love that track . Dean is epic, I was once on a Donington gp lap of 1 min 42 thinking I am the God lol and Dean overtook me as if I was an absolute novice . Loved it , you can learn so much from fast riders
@@ChasingTenths first time out on my newly acquired 1299, bit damp in places but a cracking day. At Brands next week with some fresh Supercorsa's. Have you tried Motul 660 brake fluid? Have just refreshed the bike fluids and the brake bite & feel is fantastic, surprised how much difference it made, worth trying!
@@PaulieG1 hey Paulie, that’s fantastic mate, the 1299 is brilliant, I have ridden it . It’s stunning. I am sure brands will be totally dry Heard the weather is better next week. And yes the 660 brake fluid is absolutely brilliant, especially it manages heat dynamics really well. You have done the right thing . And you’ll enjoy the supercorsas too, I used them for 4 years in a row
Fantastic Michael , glad hear that, in the beginning I found them a bit too grippy. But they sorted themselves out within a session . Thank you for watching and commenting
I love the 18 setting on my 17rcs corsa corta. I like the combination of that spongy feel with the phenomenal braking. Feels like I'm digging in. Idk it's very satisfying 😅😅 but then I mostly ride on road
Great video, thank you. I now just gone back and watched all your previous videos. I don’t know if you are open to any feedback on your ‘fast lap’ from a complete nobody, with zero race experience, but I watched your video (a lot of times) to see if I felt you could get a few Tenths. Observations Racing line. It looks like your turn in markers are early for a number of corners, by squaring off the corners you’d make the straights (especially the short ones) longer, which means you a leant over for less time. Braking: try to shut the throttle and brake 100% in the same motion, downshift at the same time to stabilise the bike. Trail-brake upto the apex to keep the front loaded. Throttle: open the throttle 10% from the apex to settle the suspension and continue in one smooth application, then get on it harder and earlier. 100% throttle. (If you keep your body weight off to the inside, opening the throttle will pick the bike up without you running wide) I hope you take these suggestions with my best intentions and not as criticism from a faceless TH-cam watcher ( its been a rainy Saturday morning and I love Aprilia’s)
Beautiful feedback Ian, thank you so much I am so grateful, you took time out to mention such constructive & meaningful points in your comment. Honestly, we are all learning & trying hard to go faster but safer. I was really all over the place on this race track , so much dead time and just overthinking mid corner and before corner so I totally agree with a lot of the feedback you have given me. This year I am trying to log a few mistakes and consistent bad habits because I am constantly making the same mistakes again and again , especially not using the full width of the track ... so thank you again . Brilliant comment Thanks for watching my videos with so much positivity and good intent to help me out . 🤗👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@ChasingTenths I’m really pleased we agree, we never stop learning. I believe you had an easy sub 1:40 in you at Donington if you’d been on the race line. Silverstone, it’s a wide track, but again it’s so so important to be on the race line and sadly I think you went down because you were over a metre off line. Looking forward to your next video
@@ianmajor8227 absolutely true, Dean Ellison also looked at my donnigton lap footage and he said that at certain points I am not using full track . I haven’t been close to that 1 min 42 time since , but that was a good day. Silverstone I have a lot more in the bag I think, my ideal lap there is a 2 min 23 So I know I can improve on my lap for sure . It’s a learning journey and positive people like yourself who give excellent constructive encouragement are always a blessing to have as a support 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Plenty of fast people that day, that bike which you asked earlier which over took me on the main straight was a new Suzuki gsxr 2020 bike with variable valve timing . Quick bike in the hands of a quick bloke
I threw those TD slicks on. Def put warmers on. I nearly lost the rear on the exit of the pitlane at Cadwell. Granted, they weren't scrubbed in, but it's not like it says no need for warmers except scrubbing in so 100% warmers. Brilliant when up to temp! Worn really well. No tearing at all like you said
Very well said Jamie , my sentiments exactly , I am ever so sorry for the late reply , some comments don't get notified. But yes, I have been using the tyres now all this and last year and I am growing in confidence and they last bloody long , warmers are definitely a must
Hi Darryl, I am so silly, I totally forgot to mention the The full system , the full system ... with long baffle it’s 101 db With short baffle it’s 103 db (but it’s still acceptable) Without its 105 to 106 db static 5000 RPM with the sound meter being at half a meter from the exhaust in the open area not in a closed garage or open garage . Figures are indicative , it can depend on engine temperature and sound device calibration Thanks for watching mate :)
Don’t worry Rich, you’ll be fine with them . The only time I heard these tyres struggled was the newly tarmac’d Portimao circuit before they had the F1 Grand Prix last year , they had a track day 2 weeks before the Grand Prix and the Metzeler TD didn’t like the new tarmac , otherwise I have had no issues at all Absolutely no issues whatsoever
Got to say Snetterton looks pretty damn good, it's never been on my list really but is for sure now. Totally agree with the Exteme components stuff, using their clip ons on the R1 and the quality and fit is just fantastic. Seems I need to book a day at Snetterton.
@@ChasingTenths definitely can't say no to a free trackday! Especially one like this! We'll have to sort a date out of a trackday, I'll give you a buzz and see what your plans are 💪
Not tried them yet mate, next I am trying Dunlop’s first then it’s the turn of Michelin . Everything in order as and when I get access to parts or tyres . I definitely want to test the Dunlop’s first as their durability is on par with the metzeler . Thanks for commenting twice , very much appreciated
Great Vid again Abhi, Gonna have to check the settings on my brembo M/c as they are a bit spongy but that is a common issue with the new gixxers, if that fails it'll be abs delete but I'd rather keep that for the lean angle abs to save me if trail breaking goes wrong 🙈
Haha , good point mate . ABS is a little more intrusive on Japanese bike naturally. Especially on Suzuki and Yamaha , so see how it goes . The OEM calliper with the 2017 GSXR could have been better . They should have put at least an M50 calliper on it. But if you got no air in the system , lovely callipers . It should work so well
@@ChasingTenths yeah as standard they were ok'ish on the road but defo no good for track. I've put on braided lines, brembo rcs and decent brake fluid and they are defo a lot better but not quite there yet so hopefully adjusting the brembo to 20 will do the job 🤞
Hey Matheus, I have heard excellent things about the SBS but never tried them I have always only ever used Z04 but then since mid last year I have been trying EBC. I am thinking of trying other pads and then I will see what’s what. For now I can only comment on what’s actually been tested by me properly :) Thank you for watching
@@ChasingTenths sounds good, I've been searching for my next pads on 19 Tuono for spirited street and track use. I heard the Z04 likes to be keepd at high temperatures which isn't ideal on street
@@matheusrgomes yes mate, don’t use the Z04 pads on the street , I’ll be honest , I have used them. I had no issues at all but here in U.K. there’s a fine line sometimes with stuff which says RACE only on it. So I heard a case where an insurance company made an road accident insurance claim void because the guy was using race only pads. It’s Rare & unlucky situation but it can happen if an insurance really don’t want to pay out
Thank you very much mate That’s very kind of you . I should make videos more often , I tend to make one every 2 weeks. I should do it more often . Thanks for the support & encouragement
Hahaha yes mate, I agree . Not happy with my times here at all. I thought I was quicker lol . But we live to fight another day for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting .
Haha , I am always too technical lol , putting science into action on track lol. Looking forward to seeing you fine chaps on track soon. Thanks for commenting
I think I need to start saying in my videos on the outset .. like subscribe like subscribe.. I hardly say it lol ... I don’t know mate it’s tough to grow a channel in 2021, very tough to impress people

That’s so true , I heard loads of guys saying the same and for the M50 callipers it’s actually a pretty decent set up
Great video Abhi. Like the ways you’ve done this. 👍🏻
Thank you mate as always
Great video as always! Good bunch if info. Liked the bit on the Brembos. I use the RCS 19 personally. Love it! 👍🏽
It’s brilliant that RCS and I didn’t know from 18 to 20 the different is so dramatic

Hello mate how do you put the trackday genius on the go pro footage many thanks 🙏
Hi Marky, good to hear from you mate , msg me on chasing tenths Facebook page and I can go through with you , no worries
Just ordered a set of these tyres for Anglsey R5 with no limits. Was dubious given some reviews but most are really positive!
