    If you're interested in August, I'd book it soon. Once people get home from next week's July dates, I doubt it'll be long before August sells out.

    Thanks for the info. If anyone wants to drop out of the July dates, then let me know. I may want to pick them up.

    What's wrong now? You do know I have about 85% of an R6 in my kitchen, right?

    lol... i'm still awaiting this video tour of yours.

    same re-occurring issue with the rough idle. i never really noticed again until a couple days ago.

    · i turn up the idle but then it screams above 2K rpm... anything remotely less and then it coughs.
    · switched out the coils way back when (which reminds me... i still have those old ones for you)... so that's not the issue.
    · spark plugs - well, i just changed those before last june 3rd track day.
    · not stale gas because i'm always on it and fill up once a week.

    now i'm running out of ideas. tomorrow i'm going to aim at ripping it apart again and cleaning the TPS.

    Just a thought... Its fine to have a higher idle for the track. It can actually be helpful as it will keep slack out of the drive train and lessen the engine braking effects. While more true for a v-twin than a inline 4, it can also reduce some of the jerkiness around low throttle settings which can upset the suspension/chassis.

    wow, thank you for the input... that's now one less concern of mine.

    Yeah, i was just about to say... a 2k idle should be just fine at a track day as long as it's running right otherwise...

    Hell normal idle on a typical I4 600 is somewhere around 1500 as it is, right?

    i'm glad you mention this. i think i just told myself it was too high. it's right now happy several hairs above 2K. i normally set it for 1700 but when i aim for this it sputters between 1500 & 1K which makes accelerating from a stop just that much more exciting... after take off, she rides normal.
