I had the same issue at Mallory on my 600RR... Strange eh?? destroyed my rear too, so i missed out the last session just in case! i was running Corsa III's
But what a lovely little track

Looks like there is a whole load of us going to this and the weather forecast is excellent

gutted

Got my rain tyres !!! waterproofs and jet ski !!! just in case the met get it wrong which they never do or do they ?


Looking forward to it thou come on si its about time you had that flu bug

sad to say, i have.

Fast group booked.

Have some things to try rather than thrashing the arse off it all day.

Gerards at Mallory does annihilate the right side of your tyres Top Tip: run slicks, you can reverse them!
Any long corner gives tyres a really hard time, I've had similar issues with rears around Chris Curve at Cadwell and Coram at Snetterton

Have fun anyway, and I hope that the evening's entertainment wherever you stay is less "Cops with Cameras" than it was last time you guys were up there...

You guys are doing it wrong, go slower and your tyres will look better.

Mine after Mallory in July

looks like cold tear to me ;) ;)

New something wasn’t right so went back to basics Sunday and stripped the forks to check and refresh the oil.

First found a spacer upside down so spring wasn’t located – which would explain the occasional spring chatter.
Then found oil levels set well below spec.
Then found oil viscosity was very different between legs!
And lastly, one legs rebound damper wasn't working properly as the damper rod locknut was set wrong.

So with a bit of luck I may be able to find a setting that suits now.

Who did the last service on them then

Not been touched till now.

And how many years/trackdays have you had it? Thats a pretty shameful admission in itself
