How-To Overtake at a Trackday - KTM Super Duke 1290R vs KTM 890R

[@GrayOlson]

Hej! Hope you're well :) I am moving to sweden in a few months and would love any pointers you might have on motorcycle organization/clubs that run track days, particularly in the Stockholm-ish area... I didn't fully catch the name of the org you said in this video haha. And really any other hints/resources you might have relating to road racing! I found Svemo and SMC already which have both had some good resources :)

Hey! SMC is highly recommended and especially Uppsala or GTR. There are a couple of events at Arlanda each year that’s great. GTR is also hosts normal trackdays just about every week. But that’s about it around Stockholm. For big tracks I think Gelleråsen is the closest one - around 220km away. A number of good hosts are Filip Backlund, Actionpics and SuB5 to name a few.

[@jboive]

@@GrayOlson no worries. Hope I see you at some events!

[@GrayOlson]

@@jboive Whenever things start to thaw next spring, expect to see me there! :D I'm moving in February, in theory.

Thanks buddy! It turned out nice! 🙂

U run slick tires?? Power slick 2.... Try a 200/55/17 rear.... much better than 190

[@jboive]

No slicks here. Since I use it on the street as well I run Michelin Power Cup 2s. A wider rear would provide more traction but hamper flick ability. I have no real issues with grip so I haven’t found a reason to switch.

[@GrayOlson]

WIder tires will give more grip in a straight line/on the power but will actually give *less* grip when leaned over and require higher lean angle for the same turn radius!
