Allow me to sidetrack a bit on this track issue, please.

 

We need to see more 2B riders on PG track. It is better to learn how to ride fast and know the limits of your own personal riding capability there, than on the public roads of Singapore.

 

Takes too long to get that licence and it ain't worth it just to lose it overnight due to dangerous riding and/or speeding, worst still is losing your life along with it.

 

Racing with others on Singapore streets does not prove that you are a legend, fierce or brave.... it only proves that you are totally inconsiderate of other road users and a complete legendary bloody idiot.

 

Want to show others you are a superfast rider and a Rossi protege?? Bring it to the track where such acts belong.

Amen Brother...

On the track.. the most is broken bones/bike/egos... you'll live to ride/play another day

 

Raptor... maybe you could get some moderators here to consider taking excerpts from this thread to make it into a "sticky" so that this advise doesn't get lost in the numerous posts here.

 

Too many wasted lives on the roads.....

juz want to ask what should we practise when we juz start out at the track?i mean what should we learn?

go slow and progress at your own pace.

Go slow especially on the fisrt couple of laps... so you can see the track considtion before you blast it.

Go on a weekday or on days when not too many people are there... so you can focus on your own riding

[jinhanz]

by the way how can we check whether the track is available?

Slicks, brudder. Racing slicks. Tyres w/ no threads.

 

Our road-going suspensions and flexy un-reinforced frames could never make use of such tyres effectively enough.

[Fatgrunt]

for average riders like us.. we will be better off with road tires.. or at most.. d.o.t race tires...

like tat he suanning me la!!! baskettt.... hahaha.. i realli serious abt getting lighter but yet soft compound tires... as from what i read from the bridgestone flyer.. it says what i using is like "race type"...

 

aiyah.. if dont haf also nevermind... maybe after i do my fork mine bike feels better.. who noes.. but firset i need a NEW sp front wheel!!!

[Fatgrunt]

get bt39ss.. so sticky and yet not expensive at all... the best part of my 2b days is being able to keep going to track without worrying about the tires,brakepad and let alone spare parts. hehehe...

ya that what i am using.... not expensive meh... i find it quite expensive... den usage is like 7sessions or so almost wear out alreadi..

 

but onli problem is i heard it is heavy... so ya tot if can get a slightly lighter tires... maybe it would be better...

 

i dont wanna mod anything that increase the power of mine bike...

[jinhanz]

suspension and fork helps a lot i guess. give you confidence and very important. grrr my sus is gone. and what happen to your wheel?

[johntan]

PG track opened most days... and if there's no one, they will let you onto the track even if it's not a designated bike session... usually bike sessions are from morning till 1pm...

You can call them at +607 252131 (if you have Starhub... use 018... only local call charges)

 

And "Yes" suspension very important... it's what determines how well the wheels (tyres) stay planted on the road/track surface.

Too soft and you'll be bouncing/pogo-ing...hence taking weight off the tyre....no grip

Too hard and you'll be bouncing off the seat or the bike (or car) will have a bump/steer effect.. also result in loss of grip/traction

[Iz77]

After reading all your comment, It really make me feel eager to try playing on the track. Juz waiting to buy glove, the 1 i got a bit tight.....

Feel "Pie Seh"..... to go in without kakis. Coz my Kakis always go touring lah.....

[NightPhantom]

crash and mine wheel not straight... so i need a new wheel... now no money.. wait till next month or so then see how.. anyway going in army soon... so i put track all on hold... till i come out of bmt...

I've seen riders in kallang cub prix using cut-slicks on their standard shocks and frames bikes.

 

Perhaps it is totally unnecessary as they can't fully utilise it?

 

 

 

If i haven't gotten my facts screwed up, those are the very tyres(dunlop KR149, 95/70) used by some of the teams in the Japan GP

I dunno abt cubs so I'm inclined to believe you, since you're a cub racer.

But tell me one thing. If they're using slicks, why did they cut them?

 

As for sportbikes, the last I heard from an experienced rider was that trackday tyres will suffice. They cost less, they heat up faster, they last longer, they offer enough grip for the weekend warrior, plus they're still road legal.

We are talking from a trackday guy point of view here after all, not pro racer.
