Small update,

Sadly my insurance is expiring in a week so the end of the season for me is here. The plans over winter includes installing some new brake pads (track day cooked what was remaining of the original pads), a new clutch (14,000km on the bike now and original clutch) since it feels like it is not as strong as it could be, a set of frame slidedrs and some nice sticky tires. The only reason i've been running these pilot powers is because they were brand new when I picked up the bike. They are a great all around tire but do lack the traction other tires offer. I'm heading in the direction of Pirelli Super Corsa V2's. All the reviews seem to be super positive. Great on the street and great on the track. An oil change, chain adjustment and clean/lube are also in order.

If someone has a recommendation on brake pads it would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards EBC or OEM. They are both priced more or less the same. The same goes for the clutch and frame sliders. I've read that the OEM R6 clutches are much better than aftermarket ones but if someone has some more info on that feel free to chime in please.
