Endurance pitstops

[Pittenger5]

I forget who we were talking to about endurance pitstops, but I found video of one from Daytona. 2 wheels, fuel, and rider change
I think Alex said he might have some more vids.

That's stupid. I takes me that long to find the socket for my rear axle.

[Sheppo]

WOW

[JohnnyV]

Don't forget the casual fist bump for good luck, all in 25 seconds. SICK

[FirstDuc-1098]

it all looked very casual, amazing

[Awesome]

Pretty good, they're also equiped with quick change hardware though. I've looked into making some of it.

[a13x]

Yea that's Dane off and Dustin on.

[Pittenger5]

Foot down at :10, foot up at :35.
25 fucking seconds.

How the hell did they do the front wheel that quick without taking the calipers off?!

[BMFR6]

crazy how casual and relaxed everyone looks. impressive.

custom triples, you push the forks out wider, put spacers on the rotors, caliper will no longer hit wheel. some teams will also attach a runner plate on the bottom of the fork so the captive spacers can roll right into position

That is beautiful, another reason I NEED to go to Daytona, to see this stuff in action.

I was going to put one on my swingarm to help with rear wheel changes.

looks like tricky mike at the beginning of most trackdays...

[scottieducati]

Tricky Mike don't need no special hardware.

its pretty much all custom stuff. Although Vesrah Suzuki is now selling their setups to the public

Actually.. the full Superbike setups of Old they use wider triples, spaced rotors etc...

This setup on Team Westby's R6 is straight from Graves Motorsports "Works" site.

It uses captive spacers.. when the axle is pulled, the calipers swing out a bit... wheel drops out. If you notice The front wheel changer... (Tony Romo from Team Yamaha) He puts the front wheel up in place..(on the runner plate as David noted) then holds the wheel between his legs, takes both hands on calipers and swings them inward, then bumps the wheel into place with his hips/legs and then the axle slides in.

Its pretty slick for sure!

it can be bought for about 1100-1400 for the front and another 1100-1400 for the rear.

I can get offset Galfers, but you'll have to fabricate your own caliper brackets and tripple trees.

thats my video, gotta love pit pass. was in pit lane for a couple hours right on the wall. it was impressive to see in person. also a couple other teams thrashing on spare bikes for parts to keep running

[daviid]

anyone else notice the pit board sign pole is made out of a level

Yea, last minute job.

[Mad Max]

Yea, last minute job.

I thought maybe they were just perfectionists


Seriously though, special hardware or not, that's impressive. I can't imagine how much planning and practice goes into it. They must end up bending rotors every once in a while?
