In an effort to somewhat preserve my K5 Literbike, I bought a K6 Literbike just over an our away from me.
This bike is well set up by the original owner.
In a nutshell- the Original owner had crashed it on the street, Bought it back from salvage and built it into a failry well sorted track bike.
The original owner had had the motor worked on and he posted in this for sale thread that it dynoed then at 179 RWHP.

Here's the original For Sale thread from STT forum, it sold then in June, 2016.

2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000 - SOLD

Trailer sold!

sttforum.com

Then my PO sold it to me 2 days ago.
He had mods to it as well.
I guess the motor went in 2017, cause he had the motor completely rebuilt by Turn One Racing. PO says he thinks it put down 175 RWHP after that build.
In this invoice, it also states 'degreeing cams'! Maybe it has those changeable cam sprockets too.

At first I had the same problem getting my bike out of my wheel chock. Found that if I lay down a short piece or 2x4 to give my left foot something to push against, it's easy as pie.

Thanks Hyde, I'll try that one too!

I see one thing missing from your track bike. Forum decals. Nowt like advertising.

I do have several TDJU decals though! Even on the primer, I'm going to put one or two on there! LOL
If you don't know what TDJU is, check out the FaceBook group TrackDay JunkiesUnleashed!
Most all the are SSoooo funny, sarcasm, etc. It's awesome!

I moved my trailer out fromn under the big Maple tree- had leaves/flower blossums all over it. I put in the sun and hosed it off real good.
I love this new trailer, and had to take a picture:

I got a new generator too- 3 x the watts, bigger gas tank, etc. NOwe I can run soe more stuff if needed. I figure when it's on, I'll charge my phone and laptop too.
I thought about bringing a TV too, gut naw.
I am bringing the the propane burner from my turkey fryer so I can cook/heat up some things.

Here's the one I got...

Well that went well! I didn't drop it in the garage anyways!

I didn't want to go over 40 tops in my neighborhood, usually slower.
I trie to run a few gears short shifting though- all is well. Tried the front a few hard stops, feels good. Brand new pads up front.

It's running cooler- like normal now too!
Who would have thought that putting the coolant (like Engine Ice- was already in it.) in the over flow res. and topping off the radiator would have helped! LOL

Before, with little to no running, it would get hot, the fan would come on around 185- flashed ECU- and pretty much stay on nearly every session last season. I think it'll run cooler now.

I also put my new Zero Gravity Double Bubble windscreen on the Armour Body fairings today.
I installed a clear one- I thought the clear would look my 'racey'. MotoGP bikes have clear windscreens.

Clear screens are needed when in full tuck. I'm sure you'll love it. Smoked or blackouts are for others.

The radiator should be free of air gaps, and the radiator cap to reservoir hose bled. The cap should release pressure to the reservoir, but as the engine cools, allow liquid coolant to refill into the rad.

I'm still packing/prepping. Leaving on Friday to set up and camp the night before.

I finally put a few stickers on the bike I've had laying around:
