Title: Proper geometry for CBR1000RR and Michelins?
Post by: OmniGLH on September 04, 2006, 12:57:10 AM
Anybody got any good baseline geometry numbers for an '05 CBR1000RR on PRs?

Picked up a new leftover '05 a few weeks ago, am having fun on it (liter bike + Bridgestones = scary) and will probably make my way out to PIR once or twice before the year is done for some trackdays (lame, I know... but a few co-workers are into TDs so I'd like to go play with them a bit.)  Before that happens I'll probably pick up a set of PR's to run, and wouldn't mind at least getting the geometry set before I do (shock/forks will be a winter project.)

And how different is the profile on the Pilot Power vs. the Pilot Race?

Jim, I just did work with a guy on a stocker at Heartland Park last week on Power Races.  Stock it wasn't so bad.  I think we put a lot of preload into the back, but the problem, from my point of view, was that the rear end would collapse under traction at knee dragging lean angles.  That caused the back to drop and the front to push.  Might be able to over preload it a bit to help it, but it's not going to work like a nice R6.  That'd be the quick information that I know.

I'd call Rob Oliva at Lithium Motorsports, he runs this bike - and does quite well on it, I think he runs Michelins. They also have a division called Supension Solutions and can probably give you some good help.
