Kickstand

[stucatz]

So I did a trackday yesterday on the V11 (2000) first time using it on the track and as I got progressivly quicker my kickstand was scraping and I got spooked. What have you trackday guys done to alter this, any kcikstand mod or removing entirely?

 

Also while I'm at it, recommended track/street tires, dual compound? On my Ducati 1098 I use Pirelli Corsa 3 and give pretty good grip.

 

I currently have Pielli Diablos running on 160/60

 

Thanks

I do remove entire kick stand for track days. There is no problem getting V11 on under-swingarm stand alone back in boxes

 

I run Michelin Pilot Power 2CT for road and sometimes Pirelli Superbike slicks for track (+ warmers of course)

Thanks Slav, I suspected that removal of kickstand is necessary.

 

For tires I was thinking of the new Pirelli Rosso Corsa's, they seem like they are made in a 160/60, and have heard great things for both street and track, but because they are new, not everywhere available.

 

Thanks again

I'd say that any modern sport tires will make good job on Guzzi! Try Sportec M3, not bad tire at all! And is not expensive, I have tried recently Bridgestone Battlax BT003. Excelent tires!
