Race Fuel

[MELK-MAN]

Have a decent budget but didnt want a new bike. Decided to work on the f4 a bit rather than spend 8-10 grand to race prep a 03 bike. Started with 95 hp on pump gas with a 2-brothers full exst. With some jetting, 4 deg. advance, and Ultimate 4 fuel, went to 101.7. More importantly on the f4, got rid of a 10 HP drop at 8k-9k. THAT was noticeable on the track in all kinds of ways i wont go into. 50$ for 5 gal?? sucks but beats big cash for a new bike. Spent LOTS of money on SUSPENSION first however i will point out. THis picked up seconds (plural) per lap..

i have a honda CBR 600 F2 which is slow compared to the newer bikes but i tried VP race fuels and it just feels like the bike runs better. If you have the money or are in the race for a championship use the VP gas

S.D.  My girl and I have been running EBC sinder race brake pads.  I have been thinking about going to Vesrah pads.  I want to get the best out there.  I am an expert racer and will be getting my r6 down at vir.  

Can you let me know if I will have to blast my rotors and how do the Vesrah differ from the EBC race pads.  I have tried the Ferodo and did not like them, so I switched with EBC, but I would imagine there is better out there.  My sponsorship with Castrol gives me a great deal with their brake fluid and it made a HUGE difference, but now I am looking into different brake pads.

Thanks SD!!!!

Hey CBR,

I'm not Super Dave, but allow me to try help.

I recenly switched to Vesrah pads and love 'em.  Before switching, I spoke with a Vesrah rep. who recommended using contact cleaner and a Scoth-brite pad versus glass bead blasting.

I will also suggest that you use the red Scoth-brite pad not the typical green one.  The red pad is designed for use on metal.  It's available in any hardware store.
