f4i & rearsets
 

I was wondering if any of you guys run stock rearsets on your f4i on the track, have heard that they may cause clearance issues. I sighned up for a couple of track days at pocono with tpm, wondering if I can get away with the stock the first couple of days.

RE: f4i & rearsets
 

I still run stock. No clearance issues. But then again, I have good suspension, proper for my weight.

I run stock rearsets. First couple days you should be fine. I didn't start scraping hard parts until just my last track day, so I just adjusted my body position to keep the bike more upright. My suspension is not set, maybe I should do that myself.

i have yet to go to the track, but with twisties, i used to drag knee and pegs...i removed the feeler after the first time, but still scraped...then, it got to the point where it was a normal occurance so i just got some rearset risers that put them 1" up and 1" back and it has seemed to solve it for the time being (havent had the opportunity to go hard with them yet)...running stock suspension that hasnt been properly dialed in yet...it all really depends on your susp and riding style too...

I weigh 180lbs, and with stock suspension I was dragging the pegs alot before I learned better body positioning. After I learned to get off the bike more, I was good for awhile, and as I got faster Istarted dragging them again (and my toes alot-even when on the balls of my feet)

I recently swapped all my stock springs for stiffer onesand went to woodcraft rearsets, Ihavent even come close to dragging them on the street, and my first trackday with them is in a couple of weekends down at Barber. I dont think I will be dragging them.

You should be good on the track as long as you have good body position.

Congrats on the springs

Barber.......Who's that with?

STT--posted in reply to your comments on the other thread.

a little nervous about the intermediate class becuase yes, you select your own level

RE: f4i & rearsets
 

hahaha...i think you'd be fine...if you a danger to others, then they'll throw you back down to beginner.

its not really me Im worried about, its more the jack*ss that may come up under me too hot and take us both out thinking he Checca and out to win the "trackday championship" or something

RE: f4i & rearsets
 

Yeah, you gotta watch out for those trackday racers.
