RE: Track day on RS, remove centre stand? - 2

If you need to remove the centre stand there is a way without risking your fingers. The nut is turned to a position to enable the pegs to fit the spring plates. then the stand is held down towards the ground and the nut is turned to the position that takes up the slack. then lift the stand and simply slide the spring pegs off the pegs. No need to take the springs off the jig, just leave them sitting under tension which is less than how they would be sitting if the bike was on the centre stand.

Considering that I'm often too lazy to bend over and check the oil sight glass, the stone chips on my centrestand are just "Jim Dandy" fine with me.........

I couldn't tell you if there are stone chips on my main stand. I've never looked and I have certainly never washed it.

Perhaps, the next guy will worry about it?

A quick update. The day went well. The weather was perfect and I enjoyed my day about as much as is possible. It was my 2nd time at Cadwell Park (first on the RS) but I'd have to say it was my first session trying to learn the nuances of the track. The 1200RS was just awesome. I was very impressed. Handling, ground clearance and braking were well up to the job and I even found it strong on the straights. By the end of the day I was the quickest in my lower end A group with a couple of Daytona 675's , a pair of 1200GS's, a R Nine T and a Tracer 900. There were 7 x 30 minute sessions, 4 in a group format and 3 free riding. I could have done with a 2nd day!

Bill came by me on his Prilla. You can certainly see him coming from a mile off It was nice to put a face to the name.

Tyres worn edge to edge and nothing touched down other than a boot slider.

The most fun possible with your clothes on.

Yes it was a great day, good to meet you too. Interestingly my tyres, also Metzler 01SEs, definitely were not worn edge to edge but there's not much left to use, maybe 5 mm at the back. One of the GS's in your group was having a lot of fun on the mountain! Great riding by all and no stoppages for crashes, HRT days are highly recommended here.

Having another look it was just my RHS edge that was completely used. The LHS has 2 to 3mm barely used. I favour right hand corners and Cadwell certainly provides them in spades with all the left handers being but a short dive in. The possible exception being Coppice and that is work in progress.

Very impressed with the SE's. Not a slip or slide all day.

Four of the bikes in our group were mates. The pair of GS's were at it all afternoon. Another of their mates might have been in your group Bill, on a Triumph Thruxton. He visited the grass right in front of me. I nearly followed him for a split second

Great report, but don't be shy..let's see some photos! . I love all of the different hardware running during your event.

I agree, the RS is way more than capable on the track. The brakes are amazing and have a ton of feel given their task of slowing our large bikes. At my last track day I did a few laps on a demo R6 and immediately missed the RS brakes.

Here's a short video of a lap of Cadwell Park. The harsh buzz at higher revs is due to the lower fairing plate resonating. The camera is a simple traffic monitoring camera.

Nice, are you on stock suspension?
