2008 YAMAHA R6 - WHAT HELPED ME GET FASTER/ LESS SLOWER - MOTORCYCLE RACING

[@brookcoopman3498]

Great video, great content, and I love that you include your family in your racing!

[@BAF-Racing]

Thanks brother! Love your support!

[@douggrimes195]

This video came up in my feed. I was trying to relax so I could fall asleep. I think I clicked on it mostly due to R6 in the title. Wow, was I surprised at how good this video is. Lots of great information, and the edit and format was really great too

[@BAF-Racing]

Thank you so much! That ment alot to me.

[@stefanomanzoni7157]

I really appreciate this video because you made two mods to your R6 that I’m thinking about making to mine (2006 R6) and those are the chain and gears as well as the clip-ons. I see that one of your viewers is against changing clip-ons but I just feel the position could be better and you can’t angle them forward with OEM clip-ons. And the gearing for the exact reasons you stated; the bike feels sluggish coming out of the hairpins. I enjoyed watching your race for those last two laps. I found myself cheering for you! If you ever come to Calabogie to ride, be sure to let me know. Would be cool to hang out at the track. Keep up the racing and the vids.

[@BAF-Racing]

Thank you so much!! Truly appreciate your comment. And yea the clipon was so worth it. I've never tried bogie but have heard nothing but great things about it. Would love to give it a try at some point. And that last 2 laps actually has alot at stake, lol. I was up against a very good friend of mine. We always pit together, he coaches me from time to time and he's a pro rider. So I didn't mind losing to him even though I lost by 0.003 of a sec.

[@rxceready]

Wholesome and awesome Insight, hope to you see on grand bend track days , so I can see you ride in person.

[@BAF-Racing]

Thanks brother!! Appreciate the feedback! 💯 im counting down the days.

[@motosurgeofficial]

Awesome video, thanks for the insights. It is amazing how much you have improved over just one season! Keep it up!

[@BAF-Racing]

Thanks bro! As you know in this sport. Learning never ends. Still got ways to go. 2024 💪.

Great Vid Drew!! Inspiring stuff! 👊🏾

Thanks brother!!! Appreciate the feedback. Looking forward to 2024. I'll be joining your races

[@mikeeagen777]

That was such a good race to watch

[@BAF-Racing]

Lmao.. trust me. I'll never forget that one 🤦‍♂️.

[@kishored.bsingham8427]

Great info.. I do the same with my ZX6R

[@BAF-Racing]

@kishored.bsingham8427 thanks brother!! Glad u found it helpful.

[@jessefpv9217]

What clip ons are your running I don’t think you ever said. I also like the strait clip ons

[@BAF-Racing]

😂 your right, I didn't mention. But, I'm using vortex clip ons.

[@v17v17v]

Great video and very informative. I have a question. Where do you mount 360 camer? Looks like a good angle to me

[@BAF-Racing]

Thanks, truly appreciate it. I have the cam mounted on the steering.

[@v17v17v]

@@BAF-Racing thanks man. An the stearing left and right does not affect the video?

[@BAF-Racing]

@vidvelkavrh7499 no. Camera has great stabilization. As you could probably tell from the other videos steering gets quite shaky.. Did you end up getting that camera?

[@v17v17v]

@@BAF-Racing yes. Got the camera and gsxr 600 so i have to invent new positions for the camera. Previously i only had naked bikes.

[@BAF-Racing]

@@v17v17v thats awesome! if you like, I have some pics of how I have the camera setup on my Instagram.

[@tekjess_]

Good video.

[@BAF-Racing]

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback!

[@MrSilentkiller852]

Really really enjoyed this video. You edit nicely, was really easy to watch. For only 173 subs you’re killing it and getting great views, keep it up and build your audience!! It’s gonna be so worth it!! Would love to maybe see some videos on how to start getting into racing 🙏🏻 Look forward to more content, you got my sub!

[@BAF-Racing]

thanks bro!! truely appreciate that. I'm still learning with this whole thing. I've return the favour btw. I see that you are a fan of paintball as well. used to be heavy into it.

[@erniesimbulan1659]

Galing!

[@BAF-Racing]

Salamat po!!

[@gunracr]

What manufacturer and model clip-on did you go with. Do you think on a 2017 with the same clip- on choice I'd have brake reservoir clearance issues with windscreen

[@BAF-Racing]

@@gunracr I'm using vortex clip-on.. with regards to brake reservoir clearance. U can get an aftermarket mount for it where u can bend it till it clears your windshield

[@905-R6-GOON]

Is this the moto Canadian tire track North of Toronto? Or in Peterborough.

[@905-R6-GOON]

I don't know if that is the name or not. I just started riding last summer. And I really want to take my bike to a track. Learn how to take corners properly

[@BAF-Racing]

@905-R6-GOON you are referring to canadian tire motorsport park (mosport). But footages on this vid are taken at grand bend motorplex Park.

[@dz_7142]

15/47 gearing holy canoli.

[@BAF-Racing]

I'm stepping up the rear to 48 for 2024.

[@dz_7142]

@@BAF-Racing not sure where you race but they must be some tight tracks. On the east coast I was running 16/44 and 16/45 last year as an expert. I'd run out of steam on a lot of track if I was geared that short. I do plan on playing with 16/46 next season tho. About as short I plan to go.

[@BAF-Racing]

@dz_7142 yea. I'm based around Toronto area. Our track are tight and technical. We do have big tracks but I do 1 round national race there. I do change the set up to 15/45.

[@dz_7142]

@@BAF-Racing that makes sense

[@yammie_r6]

With the brake master, can you retain stock reservoir and hoses or do you need to swap them as well? Just starting to get into tracking my 2010 and trying to get it to a good point.

[@BAF-Racing]

Yea, the reservoir and hoses will stay, although the hoses might need to be changed depending on how you want to mount your brake master, may need a longer hose. Honestly, having a good brake master makes a huge difference in terms of consistency and building that confidence.

[@yammie_r6]

Yea on the 2020 I daily, Im so much more confident in its braking than the 2010 by far, wanted to make the bite way harder@@BAF-Racing

[@BAF-Racing]

@@yammie_r6 I would start with the brake pads. Make sure u get quality pads.

[@yammie_r6]

@@BAF-Racing what you running on the track, I think I just threw some simple ebc sintered pads on em, also got some stainless lines now

[@BAF-Racing]

@yammie_r6 I was running DP race pads on all my bikes. But for 2024 I have partnered with vesrah so going forward will be running their race pads.

[@v17v17v]

which 360 camera do you use while on track

[@BAF-Racing]

I'm using the insta 360 rs camera onboard the bike.

[@v17v17v]

@@BAF-Racing thanks…. I need to change my gopro 9 because 360 shows your body position and much more

[@jdmotovlog3149]

what size sprocket did you use ??

[@BAF-Racing]

Last year I'm using 15 front and 47 rear. But going forward to 2024 I'm going with 48 rear. I'll see how it goes.

[@brianmeuse7595]

Look up David Moss if you want to go fast instead of less slow. Tires and suspension is all you need to know at this level. Edit- Leverage on the clipons is not good, loose, light like holding an umbrella. Any body who adds aftermarket clip ons for more power on the controls is internet.

[@BAF-Racing]

Thank you for your input. you must have learned that from Dave. "Any body who adds aftermarket clip ons for more power on the controls is internet" This statement already tells me alot about what you know.

[@wattleyracing]

Well who’s the one riding his bike? Him right? He’s the only one that needs to feel more comfortable and confident on HIS bike with HIS riding style. I have a decent pace myself and my bike is completely stock. Different strokes for different folks my man.
