Our 1st Supermoto race class is coming up on 10/6/2024, and I’m very excited about it. So if you have a Supermoto bike, no matter what size, then you need to read and join this.

Riding Supermotos and such bikes are getting more and more popular. Yes, we offer the Supermoto 1on1 program for a long time, but we’ve decided to actually do an entire class per year because it’s just too much fun. A Supermoto is a total different breed, and so is the class. It’s gonna be wild, so you better buckle up because at the end of the class we also do some heats and a race.

Supermoto class and race with Superbike-CoachSuitable to

  • Street and track riders who have a any kind of Supermoto bike 
  • At least intermediate level or went through our Cornering program
  • Riders who want to learn Supermoto style
  • Want to learn to backing-it-in and to pass
  • Want to do a race (a bucket list thing for some)

What You Get

The Stockton Little 99 Raceway is a perfect place to run such class. The high repeating frequency leads to quick improvements. The student headcount is a little less than in all other classes and we’ll have a EMT, which explains the slight higher ticket price. This high paced class will conclude in fun heat races, where students can put to use what they’ve learned in a controlled environment that respects their fellow students, where we keep hooligans in check. Now how cool’s that?!

Riding a Supermoto is a total different approach, so you’ll learn specific lines- body positioning- shifting-  backing-it-in and passing. Furthermore body positioning, lines and viewing technique, passing and race strategies are subjects as well as learning to start from the grid before you’ll line up for a heat race and to qualify for the final.

Don’t wait to grab a spot because we’re doing this class only once per year.

Coach Akkaya is short on time. He has to have the bike done for his gig at Laguna Seca Raceway by the end of the month. With only a week out, he’s got the time now to see what the weight savings are. So let’s see…

BT Tune for Superbike-Coach V4R

In this episode, the Panigale V4R gets a BT Tune. Brenn prepared a specific tune to cover all modifications of the bike. Furthermore, a lot of issues had to be worked on:

  • Lower gear throttle torque limiters removed
  • Deceleration fueling strategy adjusted
  • Faster quickshifter 1:1 throttle response
  • First gear RPM limiter changed
  • Refined per-cylinder tuning
  • Maximum throttle monitor threshold raised
  • Knock control system revised

Coach Can Akkaya is going to make a test install and back to standard for Laguna Seca, where he will test the difference.

In todays video Coach Akkaya is working and explaining tire install and about his choice in regard tire type. The Pirelli Diabolo race tires give him latest tire technology and flexibility in regard geometry of the Panigale V4R.

What a relieve this was, but I’m exhausted as shit. I could adapt to my injuries and found ways to compensate. However, I’m struggling finding my timing and groove. Furthermore, I was quite careful with ‘Pazzo’. I mean… pretty much every bolt has been touched and 45 horse more with a total different engine characteristics, plus f’d up shoulder and fingers… you go do that 🙂
The delight came with the first session on Saturday. I had the bike done literally the night before and some issues with the lower exhaust, as one joint is not seal and burned the fairing. I was paranoid, and when my daughter Jill had a dream of the bike on fire, it was ‘complete’. I was soooo happy cuz it all went real well, so that I could do my track drill 1on3 without any interruptions. I also figured that my new suit is the best MotoGear suit I’ve ever had, so thanks to Sajjad Ahmed.
Can’t put in words my appreciation for Marion, and the crew of ‘Carson Pass RV’ with Thomas Schurz, Howard and John, who put a toy hauler on the camp ground. Not just that… Thomas made the best BBQ we’ve ever had and the get together couldn’t be any better. Luckily, also these guys could go on the track for 3 laps and Howard got a press shirt to go take pictures. Exceptional.
Sunday was for me and Pazzo, but I got great help from everyone around. Thanks to Mark, Connor, Kevin, and Marion, I could start working on the setup. Not done yet at all, but it got better from session to session. Pace came in till I was lifting off both wheels over crest on T1. The bike sounds and feels all MotoGP. It sweats napalm. After installing Brenn Tuning stage 2, I broke the sound booth mic at a 124db and got black flagged 🙂 Seriously… I should make a run to just take the audio of all sounds which are coming out of this thang!
I did 4 sessions and decided to stop as I started making mistakes based on my physicals. There is not much of forgiveness on a pace like that you know?! It was enough to give me key’s to keep working on Pazzo, so I am looking to do another td for myself.
We all had such a great time together. What a beautiful weekend for everyone involved. Wished you could have see and feel it all yourself, cuz this here are just words.
